My experience using blogs

My experience using blogs? because overall it was quite pleasant, it served to be able to express my opinion regarding the different issues, and with it get out a little bit of the routine that today all consumes us because of the pandemic situation, allowed me to investigate more about topics that I like and thus increase knowledge, both in the same english. The truth is, if I felt that I would move a little forward with regard to writing, to be able to develop my ideas in a more orderly way and brief because of a limit of allowed words, on the other hand I take me to learn new words and phrases, as well as remembering others that are being forgotten over time and thus reinforce. In the future? I wouldn't know how to say that it could be included or changed, I find good dynamic, what if I could narrow would be that there was some feedback after each block to be able to know if I'm doing well or not, just that. And finally I would like to be able to talk more about contingency issues, about the same career, but in general the chosen themes were super good.

Pandemic

What's been based in my life these last few months, I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow but probably the same thing that's going to happen today, wanting to get out, breathe fresh air, a different air than my four walls. Sometimes I play guitar and play music so I can hang out but they still don't feel like going on, and I just stare at the ceiling waiting for the online semester to go by alone and time will speed up so I can go out and meet my friends. 

But well you have to keep it that way until it's all over, the contagion rate is decreasing just like the deaths, but still there is a lack of awareness in society, people leave without permission, without the necessary measures, they do not respect the physical distance, then we are not yet prepared to be able to leave this quarantine, time is lengthening and hopes to be able to see the light are dysmunus, but one day everything will end, we will return to the streets, to the Plaza dignidad so that we can continue what we started in October馃敟

A Subject you've enjoyed studying this semester

The university as such in times of pandemic adapting to an online system cannot learn and interact with the subject and that leads us to have an academic deficit, but despite all this there is only one subject that stands out within all online trash, which is the subject of "introduction to programming for Bioinformatic", where I have seen how to handle ourselves in the terminal of the Linux system and Perl as a programming language. What we do class by class is to put each one in the terminal and try the different codes and commands that we learn throughout the class and thereby learn in a more interactive way. Due to the same interaction that one has, I like this subject because it opens up a new world that can help me tomorrow in the world of science by making my own programs to solve research problems.

Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov (1920–1992) was an American biochemist and writer who excelled strongly in the genre of scientific disclosure and mainly in science fiction. He earned his bachelor's degree from Columbia University (1939) and over the years taught biochemistry at Boston University's medical school.
Throughout his life he was always interested in the science fiction and which was quite successful, within what stands out from his work is the book "I, robot" (1950) that in 2004 the film was released, there is also "The Foundation Series", a set of 16 books that outline the history of the future. Also he had good works in the area of disclosure such as "Brief history of chemistry" in 1965 or "The Universe. From the flat Earth to quasars" in 1971.
In itself I like and admire Isaac because science and literature go very well hand in hand and the genre that I like the most is science fiction itself, so his work as a scientific disseminator and writer make him an ideal person to admire.


Free topic related to the career. A reflection on any aspect of it

Biochemistry, a career that many don't know, but few understand the true work of a scientist and the contribution they can make to society.
Unfortunately we´re in a society where knowing science is one more thing that a child should know in his or her school stage, but you are never given the meaning or the reason why this would help you in the morning to discriminate the information that is given to you and from there are born so-called anti-vaccines or the terraplanists.
And therein is the dilemma between a poor education and very automated and on the other hand the work of an unknown biochemist, and in my opinion there has to be a change on both sides, change the education system to a much more didactic one and that scientists leave their comfort zone so they can spread science and not be so locked up in their lab, the important thing after all is to educate a society and that better than start from the little ones, who are mini scientists who are truth seekers.

A photograph. Its story.

Well I present to you my cat, the one that makes me the most beautiful days and I am always happy. He came to my house in April 2018 when he was only 2 months old. I went to pick him up at a vet near the university, he and his two sisters were abandoned , and persistently convinced my dad to be able to bring a cat, since I love them too much and I always wanted one, and well the next day after classes I went to the vet to take him away, he was very small and beautiful, so I loved him from the beginning, and I named it Shrodinger, a name more than anything ironic for a cat. And since then I have not separated from him, the photo is of a trip that I took with my family to Antuco and obviously I had to take it with me so it was a nice journey together with him, we passed through various parts of the south, we even visited my grandmother in Concepcion, place where Shrodinger loves to go, because the house is bigger and is free to run, he likes to go up and down stairs at high speed. And so we traveled this summer through various parts with my cat and we met the nature of the South.

Free Topic : "HTLV-1"

HTLV-1, or human T-cell lymphotropic virus, is a retrovirus which was the first to associate it with oncological diseases in humans. Its genetic material is made up of two single-chain RNA molecules with positive polarity. This virus mainly causes two diseases, a malignant hemopathy called adult T-cell leukemia / lymphoma (ATL), and it also develops a subacute myelopathy called tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP). This retrovirus can be transmitted through fluids that have live cells that contain the virus, since cell-to-cell contact is the most effective for infection, it can be transmitted like HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), for the blood, seminal and vaginal fluids, through lactation and childbirth. The target cells for infection are those of the immune system, being the preferential for HTLV-1 CD4 + T lymphocytes, causing in this a dysregulation of the immune system and thus cause the various diseases associated with this virus.
