My blogging experience


What you think about the experience in general?
-Well, I think that this class (English III) was very enjoyable, it was nice to write about myself and science stuff. Every class was fun and I have no stress doing the posts of this blog, for example, one of my favorite class was when we have to do a post about our pets, and I love the animals so, in a nutshell the words flow like a river. Is very nice that the class weren't stressful, they were a grateful experience.

How much you feel your writing skills have developed?
-I think that I have learned so much along these lessons, my vocabulary was enriched every class with new forms of expressions that I have no idea that they would exist, and that's all thanks to English III.

What you would like to include in the future?
- I have no more ideas to include to this class, is a very creative class, the post themes in my opinion gave an incentive to the students to doing the post, so, in my opinion the way in which English III was made is just wonderful to me.

What else you would like to write about?
-I think that all the themes that I would like to write were used, except for one theme: ''how much do I know about (biology, chemistry, physics, etc)?'' and you would write about a theme that you like, for example: I will write about biology, more specific, about the immunologic system.

From the invisible to the visible world and back...

Copper Nanoparticles

1)What they are used for?
-Efficient catalyst.
-Conductive paste (electrical purposes).
-Sintering additive (example: reduce the temperature in the production of ceramic and diamond tools)
-medicinal and antibacterial purposes.
-lubricant additive (the copper nanoparticles mixed with lubricant decrease the friction surface and repair microdefects in the friction surface).

2)What importance they have in your career?
-The copper nanoparticles are important in the biochemistry because they have medical and antibacterial purposes (the copper nanoparticles don't harm the human body and show antibacterial and antifungal activity).

3)Why you chose them?
-Because in Chile, the copper is one of the most abundant resource, so, I think that the more uses we found with copper, the more benefits Chile will get.

4)What future use they may have?
In my point of view I see an only future to the copper nanoparticles, and this will be the Medicinal, antibacterial and antifungal treatments in the human body.

5)When you learned about them?
-When I was 17 years old, I read an article in internet that show me how the Chilean copper could be more useful if we sell it in nanoparticles instead of copper sheets, because we obtain a short amount of money.

6)What impact they may have in human welfare?
-the copper nanoparticles will do a lot of more benefits in the human welfare (examples in the answer 1) but we must do more research about this nanoparticle and the secrets that hide.

7)What advantages/disadvantages they may have?
-Advantages: The raw material is very common and cheap(In Chile), has various purposes.
-Disadvantages: It doesn't have the recognition that deserve

The most enjoyable subject thus far...

My favorite subject this term was chemical laboratory techniques because, the class is very simple, The teacher tell us what to do and we do it, I find it very enriching and enjoyable because, in the rest of the career we must need that knowledge, for example, we must wash the flasks 3 times before and after we use them, be careful with our instruments, because if we break, we pay, and this flask are expensives (example: burette= 50000 chilean pesos=75 usd)

Most of the class are practicals, but we start the class with a short introduction of what are we gonna do in the laboratory. Every class we have makes me more interested in the laboratory and what I be able to do the next week, And that's why I considered chemical laboratory techniques. Now I will try to explain how the class is organized.
Every class we have are supervised by 4 teachers, every teacher takes care about 20 students and only 2 teachers for 1 laboratory. The class have approximately 80 students, and every week we use materials that the 2 auxiliaries make (1 for laboratory).

Person or Expert you admire


She is Daniela Seelenfreund Hirsch, born in 24/12/1954, most of his studies were in the Swiss school in ñuñoa. she studies the career of biochemistry in the university of chile in the year 1974. now she is working in the faculty of  Chemistry and Pharmacy of universidad de chile, in the department of biochemistry and molecular biology, more specifically in the laboratory of molecular biology.
actually she is working in a investigation line related with the genetic analysis of paper mulberry (broussonetia papyrifera) and how this paper could be the key to understand the colonization of easter island.
Well, the reason of why I admire Daniela is that she use her time very well. I think that the most of the biochemical's doesn't have enough time to stay with the family or friends, but she is the exeption to that thought because she manage to use her time to make a family and be a good mother at the same time she was working, and that's why  I admire her.
