A country I would like to visit The truth is that I would like to visit many countries, to know their cultures and their varied landscapes, I am very interested in the countries of Europe, especially Holland and its capital Amsterdam. I learned of its existence after reading Anne Frank's diary and knowing that the Van Gogh Museum is located there, which attracts my attention in addition to its beautiful landscapes. I know that it is a country located in the northwest of Europe with a landscape surrounded by canals, and bordering Belgium and Germany. According to what I have been told and what I have read, it is a very neat and clean country with a wonderful culture. I would like to visit its landscapes, go to the museums, taste its gastronomy, and learn about its culture, mainly I would like to visit it as a vacation and maybe in the future I could live and work there since it is a country with shorter work weeks, a less polluted environment and easier travel.

 A subject I enjoyed studying Well, so far, I do not consider that there is any subject that I consider favorite, the truth is that in the second year of the race I have only had general science subjects, that is, nothing directly related to the race itself. However, one subject that I found very enjoyable, and entertaining was differential and integral calculus, a branch of mathematics that allows solving various problems by modeling variables. I have always liked mathematics very much, I find it fun to play with numbers and variables and to be able to obtain results based on that, in general I find this kind of disciplines easy, being even better when I can apply them to subjects related to my career. Before taking the course, I was a little afraid because I had been told that it was very complicated, also during the development of the course there were some problems that discouraged me, but as the classes went by and I did the exercises it became easier and more entertaini...

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 a...

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 ...

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.

 What is my favorite food? This is not a very difficult decision for me, no doubt zucchini is my favorite food, I like it in all its forms, it can be stuffed zucchini, zucchini stew, sautéed with other vegetables, but my favorite dish by far is zucchini fettuccini with champignon cream. I like it because it is very healthy, vegetarian and it is also very easy to prepare, just cut the zucchini into thin strips and cook it, cook the mushrooms and add cream and cheese, then serve and ready, it's amazing. In general I'm very fussy about food, I'm not vegetarian but I try to eat as little meat as possible, I also don't like dough, I avoid eating anything with dough, however there are other kinds of food that I like a lot such as sushi and French fries (I don't like sweet food haha). As for my health, I consider that I take care of it a lot, my meals are mainly vegetable based and I try to avoid eating fried food and food with a lot of sugar or very processed.

 What is my favorite piece of technology? I found it very difficult to choose one piece of technology as my favorite since I like them all, however, there is one piece of technology that I consider too essential in my day to day life and that is my cell phone, it is my favorite because I can do the same with it as with a laptop, it is very comfortable and I can take it anywhere. The truth is a device that I use most of the day, mainly to use social networks, talk to my friends and family, also to find out about things at the university, to studying, search for information, playing games, to listen to music, watching movies, etc. For me it is a tool that can not miss, if I recommend using it as it has too many functions, however you have to be very careful to generate dependence on it, it has happened to me and sometimes I stay too long using the cell phone and I stop doing more important things haha ☹.
