My experience writting blogs

Writting blogs was an interesting experience, I've never do this before, so I wasn't knowing how to start to write, but then, I just relax and write about things (yes, it was that simple). I've tend to never talk about myself (likes, dislikes, etc) so I have to admit I wasn't to comfortable writting this, anyway, not a big deal. Anyway, It was a different experience, and I think this could be an useful tool for a scientist work.

My writting skills have improved a bit, I can now connect sentences better than before and know how to use contextualized words or phrases.

It could be interesting in the future to make a blog about science invastigation to develop new knowledges, after all, everyone have their rights to access to them. This could be an useful tool to develop science to people, blogs are very popular nowadays and we have to use it in our favour: One of the most important responsabilitys of a scientist is to develop knowledges to the mass.

I'm not very interesting to talk anything else in blogs, since I don't like to share my personal life, so I don't think I'm going to write about something but science.

Genetics and DNA manipulations

Genetics
and DNA manipulations have a bright future in the area of science. The majority of diseases might be cured by altering our genetic information, creating new chains with the code for make our immune system stronger, or simply denying chains to prevent diseases.

Biochemists have a lot to do about this, their job is to investigate as much as possible  in this area, because antibiotics are getting too short: bacterias are starting to develop resistance. In fact there's a bacteria who is unaffected by any antibiotics, and that is starting to make problems, big problems in the future. If science do not proceed in another level, antibiotics could make bacterias more dangerous than any time in history.


I really like to aboard this topic, because is very interesting and critical, we're talking about genetics since around 25 years ago, so don't know much about this, there's a lot to investigate, and I could like to help.

Genetics manipulations is a double-edge weapon, It'll solve a lot of problems, cure a lot diseases, but at the same time, It might create another problems, for example, It might provocate another diseases in a person if you over-express a chain in order to deny other.

I've learned about this by books, as I've said in previous posts, I read a lot science books so I was familiarized with this.

If we're careful and consequential, a lot (if not the most) of disease might have a cure and this may increase life expectancy

The most enjoyable subject

My favourite subject in this semester is Chemistry. In class we principally put attention about what the teacher is saying, the class is theoretical, we just view some important concepts and do exercises about imaginary cases.

I like this subject because I like chemistry, this is the most basic subject we're going to have, and it's one of the reasons why I am here. The interesting thing about chemistry is that you can explain why things happens since the most basic structure of matter and why a substance have some behaviours and another substance have others behaviours.

The auxiliary is so good: she explained the contents very well and give us tips to make the study easier and understandable. We have class with her every friday.

As I've said, this subject is very important and teachers understand that too, this subject is a bit hard because have a lot of contents and rules inside itself.

We share the class with chemist students, I think we're about 70 or 80 people in classroom.
Some of the contents we have seen are: Dimensional analysis, Atomic theory, reactions (Redox), stoichiometry and solutions, every one of these are important to our career.

Talking about space science

https://www.nasa.gov/

The site I've provided before was the official site for the NASA, where you can find all information about recently discovers, missions they're on and they've done. They also have links to social media to follow them, information about spatial contents and also NASA TV, where they transmit actual content about the currents missions.

In holidays I was visiting the page about 2 or 3 times per week, but now since I was enter to studying just 1 time per month, the last one in this week, because of the recently publications about Jupiter photos by Juno.

I like this site because it provide a bunch of information about actual investigation of space, it is constantly reporting their missions with graphic material like high definition photos and videos. Actually there is 2 missions I put a lot of interest in: Cassini mission to Saturn and Juno mission to Jupiter. The first one ends in september of the current year that final missions was named "Cassini's Grand Finale" where after 20 years in space (launched in 1997) the spacecraft will enter into saturn and it'll be disintegrated by the atmosphere and high pressures. The second one will end on february of the next year (2018), very closely as the first one. Juno will enter into Jupiter's atmosphere, specifically in the great red spot, then it'll be disintegrated by the atmosphere and pressure conditions.

A photograph I like

This photo is a very meaning photo to me, They're friends I watch a lot.
Their nicknames are from left to right: "Imbécil", "Chicktias", "Cesar" and laying down on there, "Copeters".

We all have known each others in the school, except Cesar, I've Know him because of mutual friends.

I don't remember who took this photo, but I think it was the ex-grilfriend of Copeters.

This photo was taken a while ago, like in may, 2013 in the old house of Copeters.

I like this photo because this one was one of the last moments we were all together, then because of the university we never have much time to meet us again, instead, we keep talking together. Andres is in 5th year of Industrial Engineering, Chicktias is studying financial administration, and also he's working and pay his own studies, Cesar have plans to the future for making his own business and Copeters is studying business and marketing.

I really wish to take back this memories and get all together again.

Music in My Life

I really like progressive rock, psyche rock, progressive metal, black metal and death metal. Mostly immersive music and long play songs.
I really like guitar and bass, the guitar is called "the soul of rock", so that's why is my favourite instrument, and in second place, i like the bass, because you have a lot of different techniques on it that sounds very different.
I can play a bit of guitar and have some friends who can play guitars, drums and bass. My dad loves to play acoustic guitar, he always is playing it on his free-times.
My favourite bands are Porcupine Tree, Aguaturbia, King Crimson, Tool, Opeth. I listen a lot of other bands, but those are my favourites.

Since I was young, I've always listened progressive, my dad have a Pink Floyd casette "The Wall" and "alturas de Machu Picchu" by Los Jaivas, throughout the years I was opening my music horizon including death metal and black metal.

A song I've always remember from a movie is "My heart will go with you" by Celine Dion. I do not like much her music nor the song, but love the emotive flute cover.

My favourite piece of technology

By far my favourite piece of technology is the PC. It is practical, useful, entertainment developer. But I think there is too many information and reviews from many users on the internet, magazines, journals, etc.

Keeping this in mind, I would prefer to talk about turntables as my favourite piece of technology. I've recently bought one in late 2016 and I have to say it: It was one of my best inversion in my life. The sound quality is matchless, the best I've ever heard, maybe it's not that practical as cd's, but, by far has a better quality sound.


But turntable is nothing without vinyls, when I bought my turntable I've bought one vinyl for it: "Recordings" by Porcupine Tree, Until the actual date, I have 3 vinyls (yes, not much, but they´re expensive): "Recordings" and "In Absentia", both by Porcupine Tree and "Still Life" by Opeth.

"In Absentia" by Porcupine Tree












"Still Life" by Opeth
In general terms, what I really like about this format (physical, more than only vinyls), is the fact of immersion with the music, Generate a real connection between the sounds and artwork, It is a thing that digital music won't give.
