Plannes for holidays

Well, today we have to talk about my beloved vacations, that every day are closer to me and well, I really do not do much on vacations, since I take advantage of the summer holidays to work and the winter ones to rest, although I hope my vacations of the summer of   2018 are a little different from the usual ones. Why? Well this year I want to work a little less and go out to see some relatives of my boyfriend who live in  Valparaiso and who invited us to stay at his house. I will go along with my daughter and my boyfriend  obviously. My desire is to be able to take our bicycles to move and go to more places, not only stay in the port, I would like to know more places, since the last time I went was many years ago and my daughter still does  not know there.   I do not think I eat much of what they sell there, because I do not like almost anything that comes from the  sea. I think more than for me, I will go out for my daughter, I owe it to her,...

A subject that you've enjoyed studying this semester

Magically, this semester, all the subjects that I have played have pleased me, but the one that will always be  my favorite is chemistry, therefore the subject I choose is General Chemistry 2   It has not cost me much this subject and has entertained me a lot and the most important contents are:  Chemical equilibrium, although the subject itself is not so important, the whole course follows the dynamics of the balance, so if you did not understand, you could not understand the following:   Thermochemical, pH, KPS and REDOX. What I liked most about the whole course was pH, since at first it cost me too much, but when practicing it made me easy and very entertaining.   I have not really been to classes much, almost everything I have learned alone, however at least I went to a  class on each subject, which was the push to understand what was coming. PH is a very entertaining subject and I think I already handle myself very well in the subject. I...

Who is a person on your field that you admire?

Well, I do not really know many biochemists, although there is a biochemistry that I know very well, since I had to do an interview and it is also an academic in our faculty. I'm talking about Dr Amalia Sapag She was born in Santiago in 1963, is a biochemist at this university and did a doctorate in chemistry at the  Johns Hopkins University   This Dr I like it, since its investigation is very interesting and important, not only for the country, but for  the world, she is looking for  the antidote for the poison of the spider of nook. His research is called "Aptamers from RNA against the main toxin of the spider venom of nook:  Gene therapyand molecular diagnosis"   Her research is well underway, she has been the researcher who has achieved the most, the inhibiting  the spider venom toxin by 26%, which although it may sound little, is really an impressive achievement.  She have also found 8 aptamers that are well on the w...
