Old and new hobbies

Image
Hello my friends! It's been a while since last I wrote... Today I'll write you about my hobbies.  When I think about my interest and hobbies I can say that I really have only two hobbies, the first is one that I maintained since I learned to read: I'm a full time geek reader, I love read about everything and I think this hobbie is positive since reading provides knowledge.  I remember that 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 more than 250 books and I hope read more, however, with the university it is so difficult today to keep my hobby. For me reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.  My other hobby is to see korean dramas, I think that I started this hobby in ...

The amazing mitochondria

Image
Hello my friends! Today in this cold morning I'll write about one of my favourites organelle mitochondria. The mitochondrion is a double membrane-bound organelle found in all eukaryotic organism. If you are asking  why I chose the mitochondria the reason is because this organelle is really amazing. First of all mitochondria comes from the Greek mitos, " thread" and chondria, "granule" or "grain-like". About it size mitochondria are commonly between 0.75 and 3 micrometre in diameter but vary considerably in size and structure.  Accordint to the history of science, mitochondria is one of the oldest structures that make up the cells and one of the most important because t his organelle has as function generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate, better know as ATP, used as a source of chemical energy. However, nowadays it is known that mitochondria could have more functions than are believed, this makes it a fascinating struc...

The best concert ever...

Your light is reflected now, reflected for afar... -Light years, Pearl Jam Hello beautiful people! Throughout my life I have had the opportunity to enjoy many concerts but the most memorable was in 2015 at the National Stadium. In May I heard on the radio the new about the Latin America Tour of Pearl Jam, I almost cried, my grandmother saw me all excited and gave me a ticket. I remember that I told my friends about the concert I asked them if they wanted to go with me, they said of course. If you don't have any idea about Pearl Jam I'll tell you about them... Pearl Jam is an American rock band formed in 1990, the band has 5 members, they lead vocalist is Eddie Vedder. The band is known for having a grunge musical style. If you have to know a little more about them I recommend that you listen this song. I remember that November 4 like one of the best days of my life, been there was amazing because the atmosphere was so intense and grateful because Eddi...

A Country You Would Like To Visit

We must eliminate the most dangerous border: the one we create ourselves... Hello again my friends, today I will write about one of my greatest hobbies: traveling. Some years ago I found by surfing the internet a travel blog called  Marcando el Polo . There an Argentine couple tells of their experience of traveling through Southeast Asia at low cost. As soon as I read one of their blog I fell in love with the few common places they visited and the relationships they established in each country. So from that moment travel became my priority.  I want to know as much as possible, meet many cultures, many people and try a lot of food. I can't decide for one country so I will talk about two that I want to visit. The first is China a country with a millenary culture that has remained until the present. I want to visit places like "The Forbidden City",   Buddhist temples, little towns and of course   The Great Chinese Wall.  Also I would like t...

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...

From the invisible to the visible world and back...

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...

Image
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...
