 Hello again! Finally, the last blog has been reached. I don't like either of the two topics too much, because I don't know if I admire anyone, but I'm not looking for pages related to my career either.  But I have to write. One site that I have found useful during this time (and that I have genuinely checked out) has been PubChem (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). It is a chemical database that has information on different molecules, large and small. It's a very useful website for looking up information on different chemical compounds, such as melting points, density, hazard and molar mass; so for lab classes it's a kind of lifesaver. It's also very easy to use.  The only "problem" is that it's only in English, so sometimes it can be a bit difficult to search for something, because the English names for certain chemical compounds are complex, but other than that, it's a good website. I think I would recommend it to anyone who needs to look u...

 Hello again!  To be honest, I don't know much about my major, I'm here because I like science, biology and chemistry (and laboratories). If you ask me if it affects the world, my answer would simply be yes. Why? I don't know, it is a career linked to the natural sciences and of course it is at the centre of technological advances and the development of new medicines or vaccines, treatments or ways of doing analysis, but at the same time we are in Chile and here science doesn't get much support, as far as I know. If we are talking about Biochemistry in general, then I would say yes, it certainly affects the world. If we talk about Biochemistry in Chile, although it can affect the world, there is a lack of support. At the moment, I'm struggling to get good grades (or at least the grade needed to pass), so I don't really see myself in any process. For now, I'm looking to survive university, I don't think big or that I'll save the world somehow, that...
