the blog

Writing blogs is useful to know a little more about the lives of other people, tastes, interests, points of view, among others, and also share our own interests, through this platform, or other social networks it is possible to make friends to through the tastes in common; we also better develop our ability to transmit our ideas through writing.
When entering a scientific career, there are no longer many subjects in which writing activities are carried out, so when I write blogs it is possible to return to practice and develop our skills, personally it has been useful because I stopped writing long ago about topics of my interest, also to know the interests of other people has led me to investigate and discover things that finally end up liking me, like other styles of music, new books or movies through the blogs I have known, also about scientific topics and interesting topics.
In the future it would be interesting to write about scientific discoveries that have revolutionized the world, or projects that propose to end illnesses without a cure such as different types of cancer, sida, Ebola or lupus, or the contribution we can make to the world through the career we study, among others.

the organ that gives life

The organ that is obviously indispensable for life and I find it very interesting and incredible is the heart because it is the strongest muscle of the human body, it is also the ambassador of emotions, without it we could not live, as it is responsible for irrigate life to our whole body.

The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart and the blood vessels and is the one that circulates the blood through the body to supply oxygen and nutrients. The heart pumps blood rich in oxygen and nutrients, keeping it moving in the body. In addition, the heart's electrical system controls the speed of the heartbeat. Specifically, it beats about 115,000 times a day, approximately 80 times per minute or about 42 million times a year.
The heart is the size of a large closed fist, and its importance is such that if it stops beating, oxygen stops reaching the rest of the organs of our body, finally causing death. It can weigh between 200-425 grams.
The heart is placed to the left because a series of genes 'push' the heart during the embryonic process to its final position in the left half of the body. And its position is fundamental for there to be an adequate match with the veins and arteries of the organism.
The most recurrent affections, related to this organ:
1. CARDIAC OR INFARCTION ATTACK
2. HYPERTENSION
3. HIGH TRIGLYCERIDES
4. ANGINA
5. ARRITMIA
6. AID FIBRILLATION
7. INSUFFICIENCY OR CARDIAC FAILURE
8. CONDITIONAL CARDIAC INSUFFICIENCY
9. BLOOD DISEASE (PAD)
10. METABOLIC SYNDROME
To take care of the heart it is advisable to take care of the weight and eat well, take care of cholesterol and glucose, sleep well, stay active, avoid stress and anxiety, control blood pressure, do not smoke, be careful with alcohol and other substances, control diabetes and diagnose any type of heart problems early.

the subject that I like

The subject that I like most is the organic chemistry laboratory because it is entertaining to see the chemical reactions and know how the reagents interact to produce a product. The classes of this subject are practical although at the beginning of each class, the teacher does a small class of minutes and briefly explains what is done in the session. The interesting thing about the subject is that you always learn, even though you have to study before carrying out the process, we knows "in theory" what is going to happen, but in practice one makes mistakes and realizes that reactions may occur differently than expected, In addition, what is already studied is better understood, which is very useful for evaluations.

During the practical class, teachers and assistants must help students, ask questions, explain what happens in a chemical reaction and answer questions that arise as the class progresses, they also prevent students from making mistakes and correct them in case is not doing a stage of the process well.

The importance of this subject is that the student is closer to the world of chemistry (organic) through the use of their senses to appreciate reactions and handle chemical reagents that have special characteristics and that are only seen in a laboratory.

The class has 22 students, but there are 4 other sections with a larger number of students.

The subject has had many contents but the one I like the most is the latest, related to aromatic compounds.

the person i admire

The researcher Tu Youyou born in Ningbo, Republic of China on December 30, 1930 is a scientist, doctor and Chinese pharmaceutical chemistry almost unknown in her own country, who has become the first Chinese woman to receive a Nobel Prize in any of its fields besides being the first scientist with this nationality who receives the Precious award.

84-year-old student of the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Tu shared the Nobel Prize with Irishman William Campbell and the Japanese Satoshi Omura for his advances in the fight against parasitic diseases, which in the case of the doctor focused on combat against malaria.

She is known to discover artemisinin (also known as dihydroartemisinin), with ancient medical texts and folk remedies of her land, isolated 2,000 potential drugs and made 380 extracts. Used to treat malaria, with which saved millions of lives.

My admiration for this scientist is because her discovery has been the result of a lifetime of work facing various adverse situations, as her discovery goes back to research in the 60s and 70s, in the middle of the Cultural Revolution, when scientists were considered counterrevolutionary and were not allowed to continue with their investigations, even so Tu did not surrender and persisted. In addition, it marked a milestone to have based their research on traditional Chinese medicine, a discipline that is not always recognized in the West because of its base empirical.

The music in my life

I remember that since I was very little I was a music fan, I liked Disney songs and movies in general, and in the course of my life I have been changing my tastes. In general I do not listen only to a specific musical genre, I like many different musical styles such as Indie pop, R & B, soul, blue, jazz, pop, rock, etc.

Although not everyone likes it, I like to listen to classical music, and appreciate the sound of the musical instruments, the ones I like the most and I think are indispensable are the violin, the cello and the piano (although I do not know how to touch them).How much I am stressed I like to listen to Antonio Vivaldi and Ludwing van Beethoven and I also listen to the modern interpretations of their compositions.

The modern artists that I have liked are Amy winehouse, Adele, Lana del Rey, and old bands like ABBA, Bee Gees, Eagles, among others.

When I was younger I used to listen to pop music a lot, because it had a sticky and moved rhythm, now I do not hear it as much because of the lack of good content in their songs.Therefore, I have chosen to listen to music with more meaning, such as Christian music such as Jesus Culture, Hillsong United, etc.


As I said before I really like the music of the movies, because they give personality to the scenes, particularly the soundtrack that I like most is the saga of Star Wars, whenever I hear it brings back many good memories of my childhood .

Photograph that I like

I like this photograph because it reminds me of a specific day of my life and how good I felt at that moment, I remember it was the beginning of the spring of 2016 and little by little the temperatures started to rise, the sun was warmer and could go for a walk in the field and observe the wild flowers that began to appear in all places, this photo was taken by me, I remember that day I took many pictures of flowers and landscapes in the field that I visited before living in Santiago, that photos like this remind me of the stage of my life in which I lived in the south and still did not have big worries and I could appreciate this kind of scenario every day. Also this photo reminds me that my little cousin liked to make her braids and put these flowers in her hair to make it more beautiful.

My favorite movie

To be honest I like a lot of movies, so it's not easy to decide which one is my favorite, however one of the ones I love watching is the "Butterfly effect", because when I saw her I was a girl and I was very surprised by the theme, since speaks of a young man's ability to return to the past and change traumatic events in his infancy and adolescence, but the protagonist each time he returns to the present after having traveled to the past (through the memories he had written in a life diary ) he finds a life completely different from the original, but every time he changed something in the past he had a bad influence on his life or on that of his friends and loved ones.

I recommend it because it not only tells a story but also the film is captivating and surprising, makes us reflect on the chaos that we could cause if we could travel to the past and change situations by making bad decisions that would affect us in our future and that of people who we care.
