English 3, Post 8 (FINAL), 'Tell us about a subject you enjoy studying'

The subject that I have enjoyed the most this first semester as a freshman, could be said to be General Chemistry 1, since it is the subject in which I have been most interested in its content, as far as I know, is the scientific study focused on matter and its changes, that is, everything that happens at the atomic level and how the particles react to generate something new with unique properties.

 Another point why I like this subject is that I have learned again the atomic theory, planetary model, quantum model, I also learned inorganic nomenclature, properties of the periodic table, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, gases and now we are with the creation of solutions.  What I find most rewarding is that I am doing well, I enjoy it and this course does not end this semester, but continues next semester as General Chemistry 2.

At first I thought I wasn't going to be that interested in it since a large part of it was supposed to be stuff I already knew and even though I knew quite a bit, I came to like chemistry more than I had before.

Greetings and see you next time.

 

English 3, Post 7, 'Choice of Two Topics (Choose one of the two)'

   On this occasion I preferred to choose the topic of website and the site that seems pertinent to present, because it has much to do with my career (Pharmaceutical), is the site of the Hospital Luis Calvo Mackenna, because despite specializing as a pediatric hospital, your page has a variety of services that contribute to the population, both as a blood donation as their own pharmacy, which has a section that allows you to find out what is the relevance of a pharmaceutical chemist in the care and clinical area, in addition to providing an excellent service encyclopedia type of drugs that have registered, the latter point is why I like this page, as it helps me to resolve doubts and consult on drugs that I did not know. Normally since I discovered the page, I use it whenever I can, maybe for giving it a number I use it every two weeks.

https://www.calvomackenna.cl/

And if I had to recommend it to someone, I sincerely find that it is a tool that anyone can use, either children who are curious about what the medicines in their home are for, or parents who are worried about their children and need to contact a specialist, or even a medical student who needs to find a bioequivalent of a medicine. It is useful for a variety of people. I hope you will take a look at the site.

English 3, Post 6, 'How can your major make the world a better place'

 

First of all I think that my career has a great responsibility and importance which is Chemistry and Pharmacy, since the main objective of this is to meet the needs of the population in the aspect of health, through the manufacture of drugs and pharmacoequivalents of these, also some regulate the dose levels of drugs to make them more effective and with fewer negative effects, research new active ingredients for the regulation of diseases or even their elimination, as well as many other functions relevant to health and human knowledge. 

Currently, one of the most important aspects of the pandemic is the elaboration, evaluation and research of vaccines in pharmaceutical laboratories. 

And for my part, I think I see myself helping people, but more indirectly, as in the area of drug research, evaluating their effectiveness and safety, to be able to end more strongly with diseases and even to help people with some conditions so they can have a fairer life. Thank you very much for reading.

English 3, Post 5, 'A photo and its story'

 

     A summer of 2007

This photo was taken once we traveled to the park "Las siete tazas" in Curicó, Maule. It's special to me because it was one of the last family trip we took with my maternal grandparents, my paternal grandmother, my uncles and cousins, since my paternal grandmother died in the middle of that year (2007). The photo was taken by my dad Victor and it shows (from left to right) my grandfather Luis, me Diego, my older brother Felipe, my mom Monica, my cousin Javier and my 2 grandmothers Deidamia and Amanda.The vehicle in the photo was my late grandfather Francisco's truck, in that vehicle we traveled from north to south and seeing it in the photo brings back a lot of memories. This photo also keeps in my memories my childhood and the times I shared with my grandparents no longer present, cousins who have grown up with me and landscapes with unforgettable experiences. 

Thanks for reading and best regards!!!

English 3, Post 4, 'A Meal or Food you really like'

Aubergine Lasagna

My favorite meal is eggplant lasagna. It's a way of preparing pasta, only this little variation replaces the meat and pasta (no kidding) with eggplant that is dehydrated with salt and added as slices. It has everything a regular lasagna has, i.e. cheese, tomato sauce, pasta, garlic and my favorite mushrooms. I personally like it because it is an option of a dish I like but for vegetarians and it is still tasty, plus it satisfies everyone very well.

The eggplant lasagna is rich in fiber that brings this vegetable, the same is contributed by mushrooms, a healthy substitute for the same pasta, also has many vitamins and minerals, also brings us calcium, for its high content of cheese.Although by so much cheese, can fill with grains and even bother a little, in the case of eating too much.

 Today I am also going to teach you how to prepare this dish. To assemble this lasagna we will need

1. 3 eggplants.
2. A can of tomato sauce.
3. 3 cloves of garlic.
4. 2 tablespoons of butter.
5. 350 grams of cheese, usually Parmesan cheese.
6. Salt.

Cut the eggplants and mushrooms lengthwise. We will take the eggplant slices and we will add a pinch of salt to them, this to be able to remove a little liquid and not to leave the lasagna all wet. Once the eggplants have been left to rest, dry them and heat them a little in a frying pan so that they are not so soft, they should be a little toasted.

Once the first part is finished, we will put the tomato sauce in a frying pan over medium heat. While it is heating, we chop the garlic and add it together with the butter to the sauce.

Once we have all the bases of our lasagna, we will proceed in a glass dish to assemble our lasagna, we start with a layer of eggplant, then the tomato sauce, then the mushrooms and finally the cheese slices, we repeat until we run out of ingredients or when there is no more space in the tray. 

Finally, we introduce the tray in the preheated oven at 180ºC and leave it for 15 minutes. After the time, let it cool a little and it is ready to serve.

Greetings and enjoy the recipe!!!!

My favorite piece of technology

My favorite piece of technology is clothing. In all its colors, sizes, styles and environments. Good pockets always come in handy so you don't throw away that chocolate wrapper from the market, a t-shirt for hot days or a coat for blizzards. Clothing has been a necessity for many years. I've been wearing them for as long as i can remember and you probably have too.

 

Clothes serve many purposes, not just to keep warm and reduce accidents, but as a way to express ourselves, to show our confidence and personality. It is another way to show art, many designers mix architecture, symbolism and beauty on their runways, to create something that not everyone understands, an art in sewing, embroidery and print, with themes and stories. Personally, when I was a child I didn't give it much importance, I was indifferent, as I only thought it served to keep modesty and protect us, it was like those infants who undress because they don't like to wear clothes, to be free and not need something over their body. Now I understand that it is more significant than one thinks.

 And I could say that yes, I like clothes, but not as an obsession, but as a way to feel comfortable showing yourself to others in a more intimate way, to show yourself when you feel, whether we are sad or happy, more shy or shameless. And I could say many other reasons why I like it, but that would be stretching it too far. 

 

In my opinion, I believe that life would not be as we know it today. Without its existence survival, culture, history and certainly morals would be different, as things like being ashamed of our body and trying to hide parts of it, would not be a possibility, we would see scars, bulges and intimate parts just like that, people would not care or maybe they would, we can't confirm that for sure. All in all, clothes are important to our current way of thinking, the way we express ourselves to others and obviously to make you look good to that special person, so give it just do it, wear it not just thinking it's necessary. 

 

Greetings!!!
