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

Hello again, 

To start this blog the truth is that never really knew what to study. When I was a child, I told my mom that I wanted to be a doctor, but only because I liked my pediatrician.

When I reached the last year of school, I had to decide. My options were Nursing, Midwifery, Civil Engineering, Geophysics and Geography. Once the results of PSU were known, I decided on Civil Engineering and I entered to the Universidad de Chile.

I didn't like Engineering and I waited until the third year, because that's when I would enter to the speciality, Chemical Civil Engineering. This is because all the people of the faculty said that I would start to like studying there, but I didn't like it either.

I requested the internal change of university career, but the university didn't let me study Geography, so I finally decided on Chemistry in this faculty in 2020.

I still don't know what I want to work on, but I can say that I like the career.

See you on Monday!

Tell us about an expert/person in your field that you admire One of the scientists I have admired since my school education is the American physicist Robert Millikan. Robert Millikan graduated from Oberlin and did his Ph.D. in physics at Columbia University.  He was part of the United States Army, and had three children with his wife Greta Ervin Blanchard. They had three sons: Clark Blanchard, Glenn Allen, and Max Franklin. Robert Millikan He is world-renowned for his work with the electron, since he was the one who, through his experiment of the fall of the drop of oil, delivered the first numerical value of the charge of the electron. In addition to its photoelectric effect. This experiment earned him the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1923. Also within her scientific career, she was recognized for doing research with cosmic rays.

Post 5: How Can Your Major Make the World a Better Place

Good night! Along with saying hello, Today I will talk about how my career could contribute to the world and society. My career is Chemistry and at this point of my career, I feel that I do not have the necessary knowledge to be able to do a deep analysis. However, one of the things that I think I could contribute to the world is recycling. Recycling based on garbage that is simply thrown away and not used again. One of those things is fruit peels or plastics. Plastics are one of the biggest sources of pollution on the planet, degrading over thousands of years and being thrown away as if they were occasionally harmless. At this point, due to consumerism and capitalism in the world, reducing plastic wrap and changing economic policies is complicated. But recycling can be implemented in a good way, starting from home and promoting knowledge. See you on Wednesday with the WebQuest. Cheers!

POST 1: A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

Imagen
  A country that I would like to visit is Iceland. Iceland is a country known for its weather, its volcanoes, being an island, its language, and its music. The main reason why I would like to visit Iceland, is because of its landscapes and its northern lights. It should be noted that its inhabitants do not receive visitors very well, so it would not be entirely appropriate to live or study for a time in the country. Among other things, I like musical artists from Iceland, such as Björk or the Icelandic band, Sigur Rós. Among other countries that I might like to visit, there may be some that are not so urbanized and have beautiful landscapes, such as Norway, Finland, Sweden, Greenland, Denmark, etc. Within Latin America you can still find beautiful landscapes, and one of the countries that can be visited is Chile, which has all kinds of climate, landscapes and beaches throughout the country. See you soon!
