English Language Challenges

Image
Hi everyone! This time I'll talk to yours about my experience in the English language. My experience learning English in University has been a bit bad. Because in my school didn't teach me well, and I'm wasn't the kind of people that see many programs or music in English ( specifically in this moment of my life) so, my English was very poor. And at the University I has been in many English courses, but to be honest, they aren't much good too. I had English classes in the Medicine Campus but they were really bad, very static and almost all of learning words. When I started using blogs in my English classes I noticed that I improved in my English. This learning method was very useful and was very well for me. In my English, the aspect that I think I need to improve are listen and talk in English. I can read in English very well, but listen in English is very different because of the pronunciations. Not only there are differences in the words when you read and li...

Changes to my study programme

Image
Hello everyone. This time I have to talk about the study programmes and how these are evolve with the time. With respect to the curriculum in my career, in fact I have been study in 2 curriculars, the old and now the new, and I know which things are changed. It supposed to be a good change, but I don't think is the right change. For example, in first, I don't think that remove Anatomy was a good idea, since the other day I fell by accident in a System Physiology class and I heard that one dude ask about from which vesicle (Gallbladder) the teacher spoken. And the teacher laughed. These things wouldn't happen if they had an Anatomy class. This is a little example that things we lost with curricular innovation. Talking about the future (near future), I think my career, and others in this country too, they should last 4 years at most. Because is ridiculous the time that the people spend in the university. In other countries it's even less time! The Universities spen...

In my opinion... (questions)

Image
Hello everyone! I'm here to give you my opinion about various themes. Start! What is your opinion about violence on television? In my opinion, it really doesn't matter if they show violence or not on television, because nowadays tv is not the only media. Now we have access to internet, and the new generations (which are the ones that must be protected about this) uses more internet than a TV. In fact childrens about 5 years old have tablets. In this era anyone can see anything they can. What is your opinion about buying instead of adopting pets? I'm definitely with adopting pets, since there are a lot of bad people in pet breeding and they have animals in very bad conditions. It's better not buy to prevent this. And are many dogs and cats in the streets, they need love too. I know people that had  been buy pets and treat them badly. And I know people that have "quiltros" from streets, and are very loved pets. My pet (the light...

From cartoons, anime to TV series

Image
Hello everyone! This time I have to talk about some leisure topics. About cartoons, anime and TV series. I can say, that I'm very familiar with these topics, in fact, I know a lot about cartoons, comics, mangas and anime (cartoons commonly are the animated version of comics, and the same with anime/mangas). I have invested a lot of time in this kind of things, because I really like it. For me, mangas and comics are like books, I have been read many of them.  For comics, I like the superheroe's american comics, more specifically those of DC comics, who have Batman, Superman, Justice League, Flash and more. My favorites are the comics about Batman, because I like the character and his "Bat Family", because of that one of my favorite comics are "Batman: The battle of the cowl" and "Batman and Robin of Grant Morrison, one of my favorite authors). In mangas, I read a lot of them, I'm currently reading near 50 diferent mangas, and I read...

My Post graduate studies

Image
Hi. This day the topic is about postgraduate studies, and how could I do some.. maybe (?) I have no reasons to do a postgraduate course, because I haven't clear about it. I don't know how could be my future job. My major, Pharmacy (technically Chemistry and Pharmacy) it has many different areas where it can develop. But thinking in my dreamed future job, I think I need a clinical specializations. (My favorite subjects in my major are the physiological and biochemical ones. It's not enough just only the major to work in a hospital. But I'm currently a scholarship student, so getting scholarships or discounts is a decisive factor in choosing a degree. In the University of Chile they teach many interesting grades. To me, the most compatible are in the doctorates (PhD): Pharmacology , Biochemistry and Pharmaceutic Sciences . However they are bit extensive (about 5 years) so, it's very difficult for me to take one. Among the magisters, the most compatible ones are...

My future job (again).

Image
I'll talk about my future job in this post, and not the job from the career that I study. An "What it if"... but with a job. A dream job (?) (Like in an Elseworld, maybe?). If I had never studied this major (Pharmaceutical Chemistry), maybe I would be study Medicine. In fact, I studied Nursing in the past because I thought that was a career similar to medicine (They are very different, totally different. But because of this I realised that Pharmaceutical Chemistry's my thing). Well, If I had studied Medicine, I would have liked job in a Public Hospital, first how a simple surgeon attending people in primary health. Maybe I would have studied an speciality in gastroenterology, or maybe not. But It would have been great to be in Doctors Without Borders (MSF). But the most acurate to me is, that I would want a job in the south of Chile, in a little town, taking care of the health of the villagers. Doing my best. With a beautiful scenery. Because I like the cold we...

A very new sensing measurements. (From nano world).

In the picture, using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). Cobalt stannate (CTO) and Carbon Nanotubes (CNT). Hi everyone. This time is the turn to talk about an interesting topic: Nano and Micro world. The first thing it comes in my mind about this is "microbiology", since I had the subject of Microbiology in the university, even I had the subject of Hystology. But, I want to talk about something different, more related to my major. In the last semester, I was internalized in one of the researches of one teacher of my facultity, Soledad Bollo, about nanotubes composites. Her research is focused in develop these nanotubes with the future objetive of detection of hydrogen peroxide. The H2O2 in the human body may indicate the presence of certain diseases, so, it's important to find an appropriate method to detect it. Nowadays, there are many detection methods but they are not much effective. Like the enzime method, but this method suffer of instability and have a major...
