In my opinion...

Chilean politicians: In my opinion the Chilean politicians are actually not focused on politics because they are blind with their own ideologies and drown in a sea of senseless words. All the time they are trying to attack the opposition even though it is the left or the right and represents a big political polarization as in 1970 decade and we all know what happened later... Violence on television: Why the people do not respect each other?, Why there are so many people which is agree with wars?, Why is so hard to express your opinion now days? Why we are all unconsciously violent?. I believe that the television affects our way to be, this specially affects the children who practically grow in the front of a screen that most of the time is the TV. They are all going to learn that a violent behavior means success but that is not true. For me the television should be a cultural and informative space without any kind of ideologies or violence. Legalization of marijuana and other drugs...

The amazing liver

Image
When you think about the most important organs in the human body, you instantly think about the heart or the brain but there is another organ that carries out very important functions, this organ is the liver. The liver is only found in vertebrates and in the human is specifically located in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, bellow the diaphragm. A human liver normally weighs 1.44 - 1.66 Kg and has a width of about 15 cm, and it is considered the heaviest internal organ and the largest gland in the body. The liver carry out with a lot of different functions but the main are The biliary flow which is carry out in the bile ducts to transport it to the first part of the small intestine, helping to emulsify the lipids in food. Another function is the synthesis, because the liver the liver synthesizes and stores around 100 g of glycogen, which is produced from the glucose; and then the glycogen is returned to glucose to use it as energy for the body.

Post Graduate Studies

Image
Now days a professional degree is not sufficient in the life to get a good job or just to feel successful in what you are doing, to get this is necessary knowledge in an specific area. Think about that during the first year of my career is very sudden because I am still deciding if I did the correct choose, but I think so. I think that do a post graduate course would be very useful in the moment to get a job because it would help to get the job or to be a distinguished person in your area. I would like to take post graduate studies in Pharmacology because is a very interesting area to do research but there is still a long way to get it because I want to have a professional degree first. In the area of post graduate studies would be a good option to get one abroad because there are a lot of good universities specially in the United States and Europe but before to travel abroad I Would like to take a Master in Chile because I consider this as step in the way to reach the top.

My future job

Image
If I have to work in something it has to be something I like for example science or music. Deep inside my dreams, I would really like to be a musician and play in a band and travel around the world but being realistic it is no rentable here in Chile, so the other option is science. And now comes to me another question, How I would like to work? I would like to work alone or with the minimum people as possible, but I know it is impossible so I have to adapt to contact with people because is fundamental in any job. Then I think why I am studying? ... and if I am studying is because I want to be a chemist or at least work as a chemist because my real dream is to find a real scientific explanation to everything. I would like to work alone in a room developing theories about the behave of every atom in the universe. I'd like to work like Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton Another thing I would like to do in my job is travel to a lot of places and meet...

My favourite film and book

Image
Few years ago I realized that a thing which I didn't usually do could be more interesting than I have thought about it, this thing was read. I started reading the books that were in my home and I discovered a very special and interesting book: Journey to the center of the Earth written by Jules Verne. This book blowed my mind and made me believe in theoretically impossible scientific facts and it is still my motivation to discover a very revolutionary thing to make a real change in the world. Another chapter in my life is my fascination with the music, specifically the Pink Floyd music and this lead me to my favourite film, Pink Floyd - The Wall. It is a very strange movie and represents the life of an alienated rockstar who build a metaphorical wall to isolate himself from the rest of the world. Some of the metaphorical bricks are his overprotective mother, the death of his father in World War II, the pressions of school, his failed marriage and the drug abuse,...

The best holiday I've have

Image
At this point of my life the worst thing I do is remember an specific event in my life but I remember a holiday in Chiloé from many years ago. It was in 2004 as a part of a travel to the south of Chile that I made with almost all my mother's family. Palafitos I don't remember all the things we do because I was only 4 years old but there are some things that are still in my mind, for example, the old churches in Castro and the Palafitos which are obviously the most iconic places in Chiloé and also the most interesting, at least for me because it represents how the people lives in this place with a bad weather practically everyday. The whole holiday was so long but we stayed in Chiloé almost one week but we couldn't do all the things we wanted to do because it was so cold and rainy all the days we stayed there, despite it was summer, but we went to the old  wooden churches which are so incredible in the architectonic point of view because I don't really know how...

Colosseum in Rome At this point of my life I know that Italy is localized in Europe, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and has been the born place of a lot of important persons of history, in the Ancient Rome and in the modern Italian Republic.   Pompeii, Italy If I travel to Italy the first thing that I would like to do is visit the architecturally interesting places as the Colosseum or Venice, but especially the ruins of Pompeii which has been destroyed in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. This place is very important it represents how a civilization can be destroyed in a few seconds by a natural disaster, and also very important for me because my favourite band, Pink Floyd, filmed a live concert in the ...
