Hello again! Today, I come to tell you about the career I study: biochemistry. In my opinion, biochemistry affects the world positively and our contribution to the world is enormous because we can contribute a 'grain of sand' with more knowledge in any area related to the material and the living. Since biochemists 'study biology from a chemical point of view', they can be researchers in the area of biology, clinical, industrial, food, agricultural, be teachers, among other things, collaborating with scientists from all over the world directly or indirectly . As a biochemistry student, I see myself learning and contributing ideas for problem solving, working in the laboratory. In the current contingency of the pandemic, the work of the biochemist has been important because he has been in charge, along with other professionals, of understanding how this virus lives, works and attacks, and also, to investigate some effective treatment against it, to return our lives as clo...

 Hello again! Today I come to show you a photograph I took when I went to school. This photo means for me all the childish, innocent and cunning spirit of a kid that I had with my friends from school when we were 16 years old. It is very interesting for me because at our 16 years old, we still played like children and got into trouble, and this photo shows one of many of them and the smile shows how much fun we had. The day of the photo we were playing like any other day. We played with a ball of paper. The idea was to throw it at another and hit it so that it did not fall to the deck. However, that day, we threw it so hard that it got caught in the branches of the tree. We already had lost other paper balls, that's why we didn't want it to happen again. We asked our tallest friend (who was 1.75 meters) to get it out, even so, she couldn't do it and had to climb on a chair and take a stick from the end. I was so amazed of all our effort trying to get the ball out that I dec...

  Hello again! Today I tell you that my favorite technological object is cards.  And I'm not just talking about the credit cards that make us indebted, I'm talking about... all of them: debit card, school pass, memberships, among others. I usually use the debit card and the school pass. I use the debit card to pay in stores and the best of it is that it is just another payment method, since it is equivalent to real money, which already exists! but that I have saved in the bank. I use the school pass to pay for public transport, it is also great because I put it on a sensor that indicates that I am a student and they charge me less. I think that cards have a positive effect on our lives since it simplify and speed up our day to day, because just by bringing the chip on it near to a sensor, a purchase or identification was made. I recommend the cards because it is a safer way to pay and also each one of these (specific), has benefits. Thanks for reading :D We read us i...

 Hello again! Today I come to tell you that my dream job of childhood always was to serve people. I wanted to help and contribute to their lives but from a comfortable job for me. I wanted to be a teacher, a doctor, prevent viruses from spreading... When I applied to university, I only had labs in mind. My options were to study biochemistry or medical technology. I decided to be a scientist because I felt that it would give me more opportunities to live new and different experiences (and I still do), and I would take care of my dreams and concerns as a child. My experience at the university until now has been good. I have good grades and I have fun working in the lab. Also, I have participated in university workshops that have allowed me to relax and connect more with myself, and I like that. Thanks for reading XD We read us in the next blog.

Good afternoon to whoever reads this. My name is Maria Ignacia Silva, I am 19 years old and I live in Melipilla. I was born in 2002 in Santiago de Chile and I lived there until I was 8 years old. In 2011, I moved to Melipilla. I was in 3 schools, of which in the last one I was able to find my environment. Currently, I am studying biochemistry at the Universidad de Chile and my hobbies are studying archery and japanese laguage. In my family, we are 6 members: my father, my mother, my 2 younger brothers and dog Silverio. We live together in Melipilla. Melipilla is a smaller city than Santiago de Chile, Also, it is safer and less polluted. Thank you for reading. See you in the next blog.
