I was in a basketball course a few years ago .. I really liked the sport and I had fun doing it, so I found it looking for it. At the beginning it was all very difficult, I got tired easily, we made all kinds of plays, from the end of the court to the basketball hoop. They did us endurance tests, to be able to run from side to side and not get tired, they also evaluated our jumps, how we jumped towards the hoop and how high we got. The class was divided into different sections, such as: -Physical resistance -Jumps to the hoop -Pass between partners -Points I really liked the basketball course because I met people who are my friends today, the classes became more fun and educational with them, in addition to having more people I know. After this course, I began to have a healthier life, every time I was going to eat something delicious, I thought and said "no, I must take care of myself for tomorrow's game", and thus I put fast food aside, to be able to improve my physical

Post-7 How can your studies make the world a better place

 Hello! My name is Francisca Arce and I study chemistry and pharmacy. My career is developed in different areas, each of them as important as the other, as well as in hospitals, pharmacies, clinics, industries, etc. In this context of a pandemic, my career can shine a lot, since pharmaceutical chemists are in charge of clinical studies of vaccines against the SARS-CoVs-2 virus. They monitor the vaccines and monitor the effects produced by them. Pharmaceutical chemists are the drug experts, their job is to inform the population about the rational use of drugs and their correct use, that self-medication is not good and they should always attend the doctor first. A task of pharmacists is the investigation of different compounds that could help improve the health of the population and its diversity In the future I see myself in a laboratory, working to improve the health of the population or finding a cure for cancer!

 Rosalind Franklin was a British chemist and crystallographer. She had a great contribution in science with her experiments based on X-rays, such as carbon and its various structures such as graphite and diamond. This was the greatest discovery and great contribution to science was the so-called Photograph 51, which was the first time that DNA was dissolved. This photograph gave way to great advances in science in the field of genetics Rosalind Franklin Photograph-51 When I was in school, my Biology teacher told me about this important woman in the world of science and how it was that her fame was stolen from her great discovery. Watson and Crick were two scientists who dedicated their lives to studies on the DNA molecule, they worked together at the University of Cambridge. Both had the postulate and theory that DNA was composed of an antiparallel double helix, but they had no way to prove it. My professor told us that Watson and Crick had sneaked into Rosalind's lab and stole the

Hi classmates, I have a favorite image and it is this .. It is a cover of a song, the truth seems not to have much importance, but for me it is everything .. As it is not a photo that I have taken, I will say when I met the song and therefore the photo .. the song was dedicated to me by my current partner "I share myself with you" is the name, I heard it and I could not stop listening , I loved that song and everything it conveyed to me. It was like seeing us, many times I drew the cats on the cover. The image shows two cats covered by a blanket, a couple, the song talks about that, that they love each other and that they purr together, it is very cute, besides it is Chilean art- As I have not taken the photo, I can not say what year I took it, so I can only say the year the song came out on the youtube platform, it was the first of November of the year 2016 The truth is, I really like it because my partner dedicated that song to me, besides I feel that it represents us a lot

Post 4- My favourite food

My favorite food is hard to describe as it has so many ingredients ... and most people don't like it. Let's see if you can guess it.. My food is cooked in a pressure cooker over high heat, it takes about 1 hour to finish.  When I was younger I did not like this food, I found it bad and also strange, since it can be prepared in many different ways. My mother prepared it in the simplest way possible, with the few and precise ingredients, potatoes, squash, corn, meat, green beans and rice. Generally, I would eat the soup and then all that was left over I would eat it with the various salads that my mother prepared, such as tomato, lettuce, or beet. This food is a tradition of my family, all the new generations learned from my great grandparents. I love winters because they generally make my favorite food at home ... even though my brother doesn't like it, I love it, since it helps warm up the body and raise my spirits in my opinion. After all this evidence, could you guess my

Post 3- My favourite piece of technology

Personally i dont like to much the technologyu, because i dont understand it, but i have a favourite object like all the people. My parents gave it to me when I was only 12 years old, I remember that I used it only that year since one day, going down the stairs, I lost it. After that, I had 2 or 3 more,  they were not very modern, but they served me for what I needed them ... communicate with my parents. My classmates made fun of me and said that I was an old woman because I did not have one of the last generation, but I never paid attention to that. In my object you can do many things, read digital books, play games, call, send messages, access social networks and even make video calls! You can also take photos and listen to music If I calculate the age that I have been occupying it, it would be around almost 10 years, it has been very useful for my life, I really like that I can do various things with it, not to say everything. Life without my object, it would be strange, I would hav

Post 2-Why did i choose chemistry and pharmacy?

Imagen
When I was in the first year of high school, I wanted to study medicine, because I liked everything that had to do with blood haha. My parents wanted me to study medicine, since this way I would have a good time in life and be happy doing what I like. In addition, I have many relatives who follow health careers, so several encouraged my dream of studying medicine. As I grew older, I realized that I had never liked medicine, but that my passion was the laboratory, all this was encouraged by my uncle who is an industrial chemist, Pablo, He had a girlfriend who studies the same, so they encouraged me to continue looking for careers around chemistry. When I left school and took the test, I realized that the score was not enough to enter to study medicine, but something related to chemistry, my parents were sad, because they always wanted me to study medicine, but I managed to get into chemistry and pharmacy because of my score ... and it was the best decision of my life It was difficult fo
