 Hello! I think I don't have a dream job at the moment, because I consider that I need more information about my career and more knowledge about my areas of interest. I think that can help me a lot to figure out what I really want. When I was a child, I wanted to be a doctor and help people to stay healthy but now I want to work in a laboratory and I'm really interested in immunology (or similar subjects) and I'm looking forward to having a job related to that. I think that would be awesome. And I think immunology is not that far from my childhood dream of being a doctor in the future, at least in one part (work with the Immune System).  For that dream come true, I need to improve my "laboratory skills" because I have bad "pulse" and I got nervous when I have laboratory activities in a class. And I need to know about immunology too, because all the knowledge about that topic that I have is from school and things that I read in my free time and I don'...

Hello! Here's the link of my video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvbPYUSjw8w

 Hello! I haven't attended to many concerts in my life and I can only remember two, so probably they are all the concerts that I have seen. The first one was a concert of a band from a TV series: Amango.  I really liked Amango when I was young and my aunt's friend gave my aunt some tickets for free, so she took my cousin, my mom and me to the venue (if I rememeber correctly, it was Teatro Caupolicán). That was my first concert ever and I really enjoyed it. My mom bought me some merchandising of the band (not legal, honestly) and I still have those things in a box somewhere. The other concert was more recent, in 2018. I went on my own to see a Japanese band that I like: Spyair. I remember a lot from that concert. I made a friend before the concert and we went together to Teatro Teletón, the venue of that concert. The show started with a support band, Rookiez is Punk'd that I knew about, but that I didn't listen to very often. I really like their music and I became a fan....

 Hello! I can't think of a country that I would like to visit in any occasion because the idea of flying on a plane is really terrifying for me. But if planes didn't scare me the way they do, I would probably like to visit Greece.  Greece is an interesting country for me because I like Greek Mythology so if I traveled to Greece one day I would love the idea of visiting some temples and cities that are mentioned in some myths such as Delfos and Crete.  I really like history and mythology so I think it would be a good destination for me.  But mythology is not the only thing that makes Greece an interesting country to visit, I like philosophy too and Greece was the place where a lot of philosophers were born and lived. That's amazing too. Although, as I said before, I really like history and the idea of visiting historical places, I don't think I would live in Greece and, if I traveled to that country someday, it would be just for vacation and no something permanent....

Hello! My name is Francisca Vallejos, I'm 23 years old and I study Biochemistry.  First of all, and to be honest, I don't know if I have any strengths in English but I'll say that I can understand the language when I listen to it or when I read it but sometimes it is difficult for me because I don't have enough vocabulay to totally understand it. On the other hand, I know my weakness very well: it's hard for me to think in English and, because of my lack of vocabulary, I don't know how to say o write the things that I want to express.   Secondly, the global situation this last year was very overwhelming for me because I didn't expect (and I don't like) to stay at home that much (knowing that I could not go out) and online classes are the worst for me because I can't concentrate in class. A lot of people died and that's very sad... the worst thing is that people are still dying from COVID but we have to continue our "normal lives" but I ...

 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...
