My favorite subject

 This semester I am studying organic chemistry 1, which is a course taught by several professors, some hold seminars (hours of practice) and others hold professorships. Those who hold professorships rotate according to the subject they know the most about. The objective is to teach each subject in the best possible way. This course is quite demanding, you have to exercise a lot and pay attention to details, because the content is dense, but once you understand it becomes easier.

This course aims to teach basic concepts of organic chemistry. This course covers nomenclature of organic compounds, stereochemistry, isomerism, types of organic reactions, alkanes, alkenes, among others. As a consequence it allows to relate the structure of a compound with its nomenclature, to analyze the types of reactions considering even the intermediates and their characteristics, to identify estreoisomeric molecules, among other knowledge.


What I like about organic chemistry 1 is that despite being difficult and dense, as I said before, it is almost magical for me, it is very interesting to see how organic molecules function, how they are ordered and with the logic with which they function, it is magical to think that organic compounds are the basis of biology and how living beings function, I like this branch because it gives me that first look at this world.

How can my studies make the world a better place

 

As I said in a previous blog I am studying chemistry. Chemistry is a science that covers a large field of work so it can help in many areas to improve the world more than anything in the industrial part that is oil industry, mining, agriculture and can also help in the
food, pharmaceutical, either improving the processes to manufacture a certain product deliver certain services or helping industries contaminate less for the production of these products, including quality control for these products.

I imagine in the future working as close as possible to the pharmaceutical industry, maybe I won't get anything impressive but I will be happy in what I do.

Well chemistry covers a very broad field, for example, in our country is the industry of raw materials as is the mining to extract a certain type of mineral from a rock for example, for industry agriculture for example types of fertilizers, soil analysis, among others, another example could be quality controls food quality controls medicines in all areas covered chemistry can benefit society, For example, in the case of industry, raw materials can be the basis of the economy of a country like Chile, in the case of quality controls, which would be the other example, it is responsible for delivering products within the standard of what is healthy and quality for society.

My favorite website

My favorite website is cosasdequimica, this is instagram page that is dedicated to publishing memes, data from the areas of chemistry, physics and biology with humorous hues, even short videos of flashy chemical reactions, it shows science as something more attractive than it already is, it makes lighter a matter that by nature is very dense.

This page I like because of the above, because I can learn new things or laugh with what I already know with a humor that plays with redundancy, absurdity and with the very nature of the areas mentioned above, even makes humor with its own account as seen e. the image below:

Another example of the memes he posts is this one, which plays with the famous schrodinger cat, taking the concept to something super everyday that anyone can identify with this:

This page publishes things constantly, so I visit it often, it could be about once a week

One of my favorite photos :)


This photo I took in December 2018 at lake llanquihue, at that time I was on my study tour, the photo brings me many happy memories and some terrorizing.

That lake was about a block and a half from where we were staying, so we had plenty of time to explore the surroundings. One of those times that we went to explore we had arrived to the lake and that day we decided together with my group of friends to go to an area where the mouth of the river was, it was a very nice place, but there were several remains of bonfire and it was a rather lonely place and we thought to get into the small forest following the river we arrived at some plots and some were abandoned and gave a very spherish look to the place so we left, but even so it was very fun

That picture is one of my favorites, because it reminds me of all the places I saw, besides being a nice picture of the lake with the volcano behind it.

My favorite food is...

I tried this food the first time on the beach, I had seen it sold in other places far from the sea, but I had never tried it until then.

This food is prepared mainly with flour, butter, salt, shrimp and cheese, can be made Fried or baked, although Fried is like most I have seen that are sold.

What makes this food so much I like is the combination that is generated in the filling, I'm talking about the combination of cheese and shrimp, that combination for me is just perfect, the texture of melted cheese with the texture of hot shrimp, leaves a soft and filling texture.

As you will notice this food is not very healthy, it is not at all healthy, based on the above there are two versions of this food a Fried and an oven, so you could say that the oven version is "healthier" than the Fried.

What is?

I got this for the first time when I was about 11 years old, I was a little old and only served for essentials. With the years I got more "modern", although for the year they were still old, because they were inheritance of my parents. Until 2019 I was able to buy one for a stroke of luck and I still have it today.

This object has battery, so you have to charge it to use it, battery life depends on the brand. This object has many uses in everyday life, I use it most of the day and more with the pandemic, since it has become primordial, you can use it for leisure, to study or work, even you can't leave home without it.

Currently I think I could live without it, but it would be very difficult, since I have many things in this object

My career

 

When I was a little girl, about 6 or 7 years old, I wanted to be a dancer, because I liked to dance, however as I grew up I learned science and every time I liked more, I liked to know how the world worked.

When I was 14 I knew I wanted to study science, but I didn't know exactly what I wanted, until in my second year of teaching my mom showed me the career of chemistry and pharmacy, the more I knew about the career the more I knew that was what I wanted to study, however when I gave the psu I did not give me to enter chemistry and pharmacy at the university I wanted, but I did enter my second option, chemistry.

Currently I am doing the process to be able to change career, because although I also like chemistry, the field of work I want to dedicate myself to is only related to pharmacy and chemistry and pharmacy will give me a better basis for this.
