BLOG 2: Why did you choose this career/study programme?

 When I was little I did have an unlimited amount of options about what I "wanted to be when I grew up", honestly I always opted for the science side and I also saw myself in something related to the health area. 

Although I think when we were kids we all had a thousand ideas in our heads of what we wanted to be in the future.


When I applied to the university my other options were chemistry and pharmacy, food engineering (faculty careers) and I was also very interested in studying obstetrics, to this day I would like to study it, maybe in a very distant future hahahahahs.

My first choice was pharmacy, although I was on the waiting list, I decided to enter chemistry anyway, because at the end of the day it was always what I loved, chemistry, I think it is the base science of all the others, since it is responsible for studying matter at both atomic and interatomic levels, the properties and characteristics of what surrounds us, even what we can not see.




In relation to my university experience so far it has been great, honestly I was really looking forward to the moment of being able to share in person with my classmates, since it is more difficult for me to interact with people online. I also really like the atmosphere inside the faculty, being able to have space to study and that it is a little quieter than at home at least.

I am very happy to be able to attend all my classes in person, as it is a different environment than online.

As for what I would like to work on, I am still not very clear, many options arise in my mind when I ask myself this question, but I am very interested in a research center or some place where I can experiment, learn and fill myself with new knowledge. On the other hand, I would have always liked to teach, although I feel that I am not very good at it, so I think I would discard this option. I find it very interesting to be able to teach something I know to other people, to somehow "transmit the knowledge" to the new generations and be part of this process. Thanks for reading me!!!!

    I think the same about online classes, it was so stressful being 2 years online, without see your classmates.

    It was very difficult to study from home all the time, I´m glad that we come back to the faculty too.

    I also think the online classes were stressful, I'm so glad I went back to face-to-face and got to know my classmates.

Blog 4: My favourite food: sushi

Imagen
  A typical Japanese dish made with rice. It usually contains fish or seafood and vegetables can also be added. This is made with its base ingredient, rice, vegetables, fish, even fruit could be added (papaya or pineapple for example), then wrapped in nori seaweed and on top with avocado, salmon, tuna, sesame, etc., this by means of a bamboo mat which helps to give it the shape of a roll. I love it because you can combine various ingredients and flavours in one bite, plus you can add sauces to give it another twist.  I also like the derivatives of this food, sashimi, gohan, temaki, gyozas and all that. Sushi is often considered a dangerous food product because it contains raw seafood and fish, which are susceptible to harbouring bacteria and/or parasites. Contamination by bacteria such as "Salmonella" is another of the dangers of eating raw fish. However, tuna and salmon are great sources of iodine, vitamin D and protein.

Blog 5: How can your major make the world a better place

  Chemistry has been present since the beginning of life on earth till today, it's a science that has a big impact on the development of complex societies, day to day life and on the search for solutions to actual problems, like the excessive energy consumption, pollution and the environmental deterioration. This helps us to satisfy our basic needs, like the alimentation, the development of medication, clothes, our living places, energy, transport and communications, which all of this help us to better the quality of human life. I feel very anxious about this pursuit of knowledge. I want to keep understanding more complex subjects about chemistry and how it has been developing around the world. I see myself contributing in a positive way, always with a professional compromise with the environment pointing to a better quality of life, protecting the resources that are scarce, and trying to make the least waste possible on this journey. I can’t wait for that day!
