A Person/Expert you admire

"Ignorance affirms or denies emphatically. Science doubt" Voltaire . French philosopher "I'm going to be a... when I grow up" This sentence is very common to hear it among children, however I don't remember saying it because I never wanted to be like someone else. When I discovered the great minds of the world I dreamed of being a little of what they were.  In this world there been great scientist, however, those that I have never been able to forget are James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin who co-discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, which formed the basis for modern biotechnology. Today I'll tell you about Rosalind Franklin , her contribution and how difficult it is to be a woman in science. Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958) was a British chemist; she enrolled at Newnham College, Cambridge, in 1938 and studied chemistry. In 1941, she was awarded Second Class Honors in her finals, which, at that t...

My favourite book and film

Image
Hello everyone! My hobby in this life are watch films and read. My first book was The Knight in Rusty Armor , my parents gave it to me when I learned to read at age 6 and I remember that at the beginning I was disappointed because at age 6 I expected to read fables or some princess book and not a novel. Later I thanked them very much because I loved the book. At my age I've read more than 250 books and I hope read more, last year I was really bored and a good friend named Hugo recommended me to read The Solicitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano , when I finished almost cry because the novel is so powerful, realist, sad. In this book the author creates a metaphor based on prime numbers and transforms it into a masterpiece. The novel narrates the childhood and early adulthood of a boy and girl, who were each exposed to traumatic situations that followed them into adulthood. Both are outsiders, similar to how prime numbers are outsiders  from other numbers. They befriend...

A photograph you like

Image
We keep this life in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Photographs is something that I really love, I enjoy take and see them. I was born in a time when digital cameras were just emerging, my family bought our first camera when I was 6 years old and I remember that the camera used photographic rolls, which we then took to the Kodak store to print the photos. Now, we are in the technological age, all the cameras are digital, that has meant an improvement in the quality of the photos. We went from black and white photos to HD  photos, now it's not necessary to print the photographs because the computers allow to save them, is more easy. Thanks to the technology I can take photographs with my smartphone or camera at any time and place, thank to this I have developed a hobby. My favorites photographs are those that show beautiful landscapes because they are able to teach us the wonderful nature. Today I will show you my two favor...

Music In My Life

Image
¿Music? Music is the expression of the soul... In my life I can say that music is all for me because I like write with music, cook with music... I enjoy almost any kind of music, since Rap to Asian Pop.  Depending on my mood... From my stepfather I learn to love Hip-Hop in Spanish, from my mother I learn to love Balads and Salsa.  When I'm stressed I use to listen to the piano, my favourite pianist are Yiruma and I really love the song River flows in you because that song is so magic for me, when I   feel sad I use to listen to Rock or Balad really sad. Also I use to listen to Salsa or Merengue when I want to dance.    When I was 14 I used to listen to Korean Pop, Chinese Pop and French music, in present I still listen to but with less often. My favourite singer is Chojin and my favourite group are Pearl Jam and La Renga. Last time I am obsessed with a multicultural band called  LaSmala ( family  in Gypsy),  their music...

Your favourite piece of technology

Image
Humans at 21st century breath for technology, cry for technology, live for technology. I'm not the exception, I really enjoy with it and I'm addicted. I actually do have a problem in mentioning just one piece of technology; smart TVs and computers are perhaps the pieces of technology that I daily use and enjoy but I can say that my favourite piece of technology is smartphone , it has become an essential tool in my life because I daily use for everything all the time. I'm very grateful with the person who breakthrough and innovated this world with his creation, I'm talking about Martin Cooper, in the 1970's he invented the first handheld cellular mobile phone although he's the first person to make a handheld cellular phone call in public. Since his creation the world has evolved into what we can see today. Smartphone allows me to communicate with my family and friends who live very far trough to phone call or trough social networks like Faceb...

Why did you choose this career?

Image
When I was a child my only dream in this life was becoming a physician because I could help the people who needed. I believed in this dream until I met my humanist skills in high school. When I was 14 i was addicted to reading novels and poems and I started to writing my thoughts and feelings, I posted my written on a Facebook page. I was really popular because people liked what I write, for this time I thought that I could study  literature  but then I realized that I didn't want to transform my hobby into a job so I went back to my childhood dream of becoming a physician for the next years before entering to university. I gave the university entrance exam (PSU) in 2015, my results were good but not enough... so I was disappointed. My family supported me and they told me that if I wanted to take a year I could do it. 2016 was a good year but also very confusing because I didn't know that iIwanted to study... ¿Medicine? Maybe ¿Literature? Maybe not ¿Engineering? ...

With steel steps I try to build my life, with eyes full of lies and smiles full of truths I start to move forward, with the freedom as principle of everything I never stop. My name of birth is Priscilla López Ahumada, I'm 19 years old. I was born from a relationship that died very soon, I have a lot of brothers and sisters but we don't need to go into details. I am from Santiago the crazy capital of Chile. I'm a student of Chemistry and Pharmacy at the University of Chile. Before entering university I studied in Rosario Concha's school, a little school located in the perfect place not to be found where I enjoyed wonderful moments. I'm a dreamy traveler, I traveled around to Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Argentina and i hope in the future to visit East Asian, especially China and Myanmar. I love watching epic movies and my fav is Troy   and I really like watching anime too, my fav is Shingeki No Kyojin and Tokyo Ghoul. The music is my yin and the books my yan...
