PABLO VALENZUELA

Hi guys! How you doing?
Today I wanna talk about a big person. As you know (I write about in another blog) I study Biochemistry. An today, I'm gonna talk about a big biochemical, and Chilean!
His name is Pablo Valenzuela. Doctor Valenzuela studied Biochemstry in Universidad de Chile and is a Doctor in Chemistry in the University of Northwestern (PhD.)
In the year 1974 it received the scholarship of the International Scientific Fellow (NIH) and came back to The United States. In 1981 Chiron Corporation fused the biotechnological company, where it clones and it sequenced the genome of the AIDS virus.
The most importants investigation are the discovery of the hepatitis C, and the creation of the first vaccine for the hepatitis B.
I love the way of Pablo Valenzuela to mix the science and the business. I think his work it's awesome, and is Chilean and study here, in the same University of us! Doctor Pablo is the father of the biotechnology, one of the first man to mix the biology and the chemistry to make medicines; and with that, heal importants diseases of the human being.
What a great guy!

    Wow! Really interesting. It is so nice that he is Chilean and that he studied at this University. Who knows maybe in the future your name will be in a student's blog :)

WHY I STUDY WHAT I STUDY

The science, a big word. That it's all. The science it's, from the beggining, the true behind all we can see. I think that it's the main reason of study biochemistry. But not always was to study Biochemistry. When I was a child, my dream was to be an astronaut; that is so cliche, but I like the idea of explore the universe, know things about our origin. When I was in High School, my dream changed, now I wanted to be a doctor, I like the idea of help the people, study the human body, study the life, the anatomy of the body. In the last year of High School, everything change; I understand the reality of be a doctor; and I don't like it. So, I have a year for find my road. I just know one thing; I like science. What can I study in science? My favourite subject in the high school was biology, second; the chemistry. What I do in that? Suddenly, all was clear. I met biochemistry. At the moment to apply to university, my first option was the Universidad de Chile. I wa...

let's talk about ANIME

 Hi again guys! How are you?... I'm fine, just a little busy with University stuff.  Today we talk about anime, let's go!...the reason; I be honest, it's a homework of my english class.  The first time when I watched Anime, I don't know it. I was a little boy, about 8 years... and in the T.V I find a stranger and funny robot cat, blue and with a really cool pocket; his name? Doraemon. I love every story of Doraemon and his friend/owner Nobita. The story it's about this friendly couple, and how Doraemon help to fix all the problems of a little guy called Nobita; in a point of the story, Nobita and Doraemon was best friend...that at the end; /spoiler/ Doraemon has to gop back to his planet.  I'm not a real fun of the anime...To be honest, I never watched all the chapters of one, I don´t like it because, usually, the stories are or to "cute" or to exaggerated and fantastic (in the bad way). Of course, I'm not a ogre or someone like that, I love th...

MY FAVOURITE PICTURE

This picture was taken in 2016, in the hills of the north of Oregon, in United States. The name is "The Big Frozen" and the author is Nicholas Roemmelt. The picture shows the milky way; I think it's a wonderful pic, because it shows all the majesty of the sky in the night. Shows the stars, and the nebulas that conform the milky way, and, a simple sight; so it's wonderful. When I say "simple sight" I mean it's not something we can see in any night, but it's something we can see behind a camera.  I like the photography because can show things we can't see with our eyes; and that's magic.  All my life, the space and the sky capture my attention. I think it's because it's something so far and, in a way, misterious.  This picture shows the power of the man, the power of the curiosity and mix the science and the art in just a moment...so romantical haahha. For all the last reasons, this picture is my favourite, at the moment.
