Blog 10: My blogging experience

Welcome everyone to my blog, this time is a different greeting because this is the last time I do this.

Writing the blogs during this term was definitely something completely new and unthinkable for me. When I knew I had to write the blogs I did not know what to do, I had never done it before! I did not know if I could manage well or what things to tell...

However, once written the first, I felt it was something entertaining, to be able to write about a topic and share one’s ideas with others was interesting, as it allows others to know a little more about me, while at the same time I can also see what other people like or think.

I also feel that as I wrote the blogs, it was increasingly fluid to write and express what I meant, I was also discovering some new words, so I feel that it helped me greatly in this aspect

Personally, I would like there to be something like a "list of topics" of, for example, 20 different and from there the student can freely choose which one he wants to write about in that circumstance. I say this because in my case, if I had been given 100% free theme to write, I would not have known what to write about! It is not easy for me to decide on just one thing, so having a broader but defined list    (or the topics fixed as the case was) would be easier to do.

But as a general comment on blogs, I liked them very much, because they are an instance in which you get a little out of the atmosphere that the university generates and it serves to relax and have some fun.

Blog 9: My favourite animated Disney character

Hello! Welcome once again to my blog.

Today I will share with you who is my favorite animated character of Disney movies.

It is a little complicated for me, since I am not a big fan of these movies, but if I had to pick a character, of all of them I have seen, this could be Baymax of Big Hero 6.

Baymax was conceptualized by Tadashi, his maker, as a healthcare-providing robot nurse, with a goal to improve healthcare around the world. His artificial intelligence comes from a special chip with Tadashi's inscriptions, this chip is equipped with a care-giving matrix, and without it, Baymax can be conceived as an entirely different being. As programming would have, Baymax is instantly summoned by the sound of distress, and can only deactivate once his current patient states "I am satisfied with my care".

I like this character because from the first time he appears on screen, to the last, he is trying to protect and deliver all possible care to Hiro, respecting that purpose above all else, thing that I find striking and captivating. On the other hand, he also has a sense of humor, which makes him even more striking to me.

Blog 8: A subject I enjoy studying

Hi everyone and welcome one more time to my blog, today I am going to tell you why I consider that Chemical Laboratory Techniques was the subject that I enjoyed the most during my first term at the University.

Basically during all my years in school, the classes were theoretical, delivering lots and lots of information, except very few occasions in which I had the opportunity to go to the laboratory and do small experiments. However, I was left wanting more, because it was something out of the ordinary and I was completely fascinated to be able to do, this is why when I entered University and I found that I would have the opportunity to go weekly to the laboratory, developing and knowing new things, I found it completely cool.

Laboratory classes always began with the teacher's demonstration of what we would do at that time and, after giving us the instructions and precautions, we could begin to use the tools of the laboratory to develop certain phenomena.

We started, literally, playing with water, this to get closer to the materials, and later with the time, the laboratories consisted of preparing solutions, distilling them, forming crystals by saturation of a solution, determining how much solute there is in an unknown solution, among others.

I like being able to have this possibility and I am completely expectant of what will be the next subjects related to laboratory work with which I will meet throughout the career.

Blog 7: A scientist whom I admire

Hi everyone, today I am going to talk about a person that I admire; Louis Pasteur.

Louis Pasteur, was born on December 27, 1822 was a french chemist and bacteriologist.

Pasteur in his childhood and adolescence he showed neither great interest nor stood out in the scientific area, however, over the years, and after entering the world of the arts, he became professor of Physics and Chemistry.

At age 32, in  1854, he had already been appointed dean of the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Lille, France. It would be in 1888 when he founded his own institute, which to this day bears his name, and here he was the director until the day of his death, September 28, 1895 caused by a cardiac arrest.

Among his main contributions to the world of science, we can find:

• Discovery and development of the pasteurization process, which consists in a technique of thermal treatment to foods (usually liquids) for the elimination of microorganisms.
• Refute through experimentation the theory of "Spontaneous generation", which established that certain life forms arose spontaneously from organic matter.
• Discover that infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms.

Personally, I like Pasteur because, regardless that in his time he did not have great technological advances, like the ones that we have today, he managed to develop techniques and research which were the basis of what exist today, being a pioneer of great advances that have helped society in an excellent way. It also causes intrigue, given that if under those possibilities he managed to develop his studies, what would he have been able to discover in the current world? The same question comes to me with great minds like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, among others, who stood out in their time thanks to their intelligence and who, had they had greater technological support, could have achieved incredible discoveries.
