An expert/person in my field that I admire I think that in the short time I have been studying, I have not yet found a reference that causes me admiration, however I want to highlight an iconic woman in the chemical area, Marie Curie. She was a Polish scientist and naturalized French citizen , a pioneer in the field of reactivity, the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize, she received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery of two new chemical elements and the Nobel Prize in physics for her work on radiation. I consider her an admirable person because at that time, at the beginning of the 20th century, to be a scientist, academic or researcher was practically impossible, in her country women could not access higher education, and despite that, in what I consider an act of female empowerment, she went to France and managed to study at the university, demonstrating to have the same and better capabilities than men in the same area, and being recognized worldwide for her achievemen

Why pharmaceutical chemistry can make the world a better place? I would like to start by asking: what would the control or prevention of any diseases be without having medicines available?  The pharmaceutical chemist is te health professional expert in medicines, trained the inform and advice the community and the others health professionals, in an ethical and rigorous manner, on the rational use of medicines, in addition to participating in the formulation and dispensing of medicines. Their role is of great importance, as the world and society cannot move forward in the presence of disease and global ill health. Their contribution to the world is fundamental on a daily basis, an excellent example is how they have contributed to the creation of vaccines for the control of the current Covid-19 pandemic. I hope that upon completion of my studies I will be able to work in the area and be a contribution to society both in the formulation or identification of substances and in the delivery

A photo and its story This picture, or rather, what is in it is very important to me, it is a picture of Cristobal, my nephew, on his 11th birthday with his cat "Wilson" in his arms. The story of this picture is very special, my nephew since he was very young has loved animals, especially cats, he had long wanted to adopt one, but for space issues did not allow it, this year he asked many times to adopt one and for his birthday I looked for a kitten for him (because I had to give him the pleasure haha) and that made him very happy. It means a lot cause he is the most important person for me, he is like a little brother and the best company always hahaha. In the picture you can see how happy he was that day, for turning over a decade and for his new pet and seeing him like that makes me so happy.
