My blogging experience

Image
The writing is the paint of the voice. Hello people! Today is the last blog and I'll tell you about my experience writing in English. It took us thousands of years to achieve our present form of communication, first were hieroglyphics, then Chinese writing and finally the Latin that gave way to the great majority of Western languages. Nowadays there are many ways of communicating, a classic way of communicating is through writing and I can say it's my favorite. If you are happy, write so you can always remember that moment, if you are sad, write so you can let off steam. Writing is the solution to everything. Ironically for me English is more difficult to learn than Chinese, maybe because I really don't like English but in this world and especially for this university career it is fundamental to learn it because is usually read much information and scientific divulgation in English, so the opportunity to write blogs has allowed me to increase my vocabulary. I th...

Hello people, today I'll tell you about how in this time is so important the use of nanoparticles.  80 years ago technology was very far from being what it is today and what will be in 30 more years. Nanoparticles is a microscopic particle with at least one dimension less than 100 nm, this particles been created and researched in the last 15 years, in the last time  the investigation of its uses has focused on biomedical applications. I first hear of these nanoparticles when I was at school and my biology teacher showed us a study of these in plants where the nanoparticles were able to promote plant growth and I found it amazing. Scientist are now exploring the wonders that these particles can achieve. I think that nanoparticles can have a great impact in the area of medicines since to be so small they allow to have a higher precision in the zones of the body to which it is wanted to arrive, attempting to decrease medication errors or even side effects, or maybe ...

The most enjoyable subject...

When I went to university I thought I would be in the laboratory all day creating chemistry substances, however that didn't happen. Most of the subjects that I have are theoretical like general chemistry, mechanics, maths except one "Chemical laboratory techniques", this subject has a theoretical part and a practical. For the moment Chemical Laboratory Techniques has become my favourite because it applies what has been learned in classes directly in the laboratory, here I learned  a lot of things from the precautions that must be taken to work in the laboratory, like the use of the apron, to learn to separate chemistry mixture like distillation and decantation. The days that I have this subject usually become very long because first I have theoretical classes from 14:00 to 14:50 and then I'm in the laboratory until 18:00 hours. I have 7 teachers, 2 technicians and 2 auxiliary who help us to perform a correct practical work. In theoretical class we're 80 student...

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

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

¿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...
