Blog Session 6: Changes to my study program

Imagen
I am studying biochemistry, and I'm in my third year. Until today I don`t think that the obligatory subjects of the career are innecesary, but the others, such as sports workshops or obligatory extracurricular activities are innecesary, I am not against their existence, but it should be optional, because the academic load makes them impossible to perform correctly and also some are very badly made.  I think the duration of the career is the right one, because it`s not excessively long, and the stay at the university gives us the possibility to explore the options we can choose. In the field of infrastructure, my faculty is very small, before joining the university, I thought that because it was the University of Chile, it would have very good facilities and would have large spaces, such as recreation, study areas, CLASSROOMS, and the reality was different, hopefully we have a mini building with classrooms, the rest are laboratories occupied mainly by teachers and a litlle by studen...

Blog Session 5: Personal Opinions

  My opinion about animal testing it`s against because I think that we as humans have no right to interfere with the life of another living being just for personal benefits as a species, each living being is the owner of its life just like us. I think we have enough intelligence to create new models of study, either cell culture, bioinformatics, which do not involve the suffering of animals. My opinion about recycling is that it has already become a form of survival, because the world is so contaminated with elements that are "single-use" or that take a long time to degrade that, we need a break and allow us to continue living on the planet. But we cannot remain alone with the idea that recycling fixes the issue of pollution, we must reach a state of our development in which no waste is produced, and that is called circular economy. The current economic system is diametrically opposed to the life cycle of nature and conflicts with sustainable development, which is foc...

Blog Session 4: Postgraduate studies

Hello, I have always had the idea that in the future I will study something abroad like a specialization or relevant technique important to my career. I want to follow the way of environmental care and I think that abroad they are more developed than in Chile. I would like to get new tools for then return to Chile and aplicated that I learn in thats countries. Spain have always had in my mind like a county that I want t go to study, but I dont investigate so much about their speciality, but that country it`s ubicated in Europe and here are many universities relatively close in other countries taht I would to go and learn. The only thing that I now is that the developed countries have the knowledge and the latest technology for the care of the environment. I would like to study techniques about bioremediation, forms to reutilize and degrade the waste we produce day by day and many others. I would like to study in situ, because I think that it`s the best form to learn something new, ...

My Future Job

  The career that I am studying is Biochemistry and it is very versatile, because I can work in many areas, like in medical clinic, quality control in biological companies, work in PDI, like a forensic, and so on, my career it is about understand the biology through the chemistry. I would like to work protecting the natural resources, environment and recover places biologically damages by humans, like mining tailings, enviromental sacrifice zone, places where there was some type of serius alteration to the ecosystem, and I think biochemistry gives me some tools to do it.  Lock "El Mauro" of Los Pelambres mining Ideally, I would like work outdoor directly in the area that I want to preserve, observing and connecting with the place, since yes or yes my work is in the laboratory analyzing samples, conducting experiments and devising solutions. Other thing that I would to do its work in a residual water treatment plant, because I like the idea of clean and purifying some...
