EVALUATION OF YOUR BLOGGING EXPERIENCE


Hello everyone, finally it's time to write the last blog of the semester. Well, the experience of writing these blogs was a little different than what I'm used to. I think I started by hating them a little bit, but as the semester progressed, writing about the proposed topics was easier and I liked it. I guess the latter is because I started to improve my writing skills. I think my vocabulary also improved a bit.


The proposed topics seemed good to me in general, some were a little harder to write than others, but it is not that they were a torture. Particularly the topics that I liked the most were “Favourite movie”, “Career-related website” and “Favourite picture”.


In the future it would seem good to me that there was a correction of the writings week by week during the semester. In this way one could correct their mistakes and not commit them again in the next blog. I also think it's a good idea to allow that one or two blogs have a free choice topic.


Although for many it is tedious to write these blogs (or at least heard many warnings about the famous blogs of English III), my experience was not bad at all, on the contrary I think it is a good activity of the subject.

Holidays

Hello again, today I will tell you about my last trip. I do not think it was my best holidays, but I'm too lazy to write about another trip. Playa Chica beach, El Yeco So, this not so memorable trip was at the beginning of June this year, when five friends of the university and I planned a quiet week of winter holidays in El Yeco, Algarrobo. During the first days it was mostly sunny, so we went to the beach and stayed as long as possible because we knew rainy days would come. It was just as we planned, we were absolutely alone, the whole beach just for us and it was really relaxing to disconnect from all the hustle and bustle of Santiago. The following days we enjoyed touring the pine forests and spent time relaxing in the small cabin where we were staying, cooking delicious food (really), listening to music, drinking a good wine and smoking some weed.  The best thing of all was that we got to know each other better between friends and we also had time to clear ou

MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

Image
I should start by saying that I am not one of those technology fans. However, in these times it is difficult to think about living without a cell phone, and this is my favorite piece of technology or at least the technological piece that most influences my life. Because now you can do practically everything with a cell phone, communicate from different platforms, take photos and videos, access the internet and from there all the possibilities of the world in the palm of your hand. I had my first cell phone at approximately 12 years old and I remember that it was not so much what you could do with one of them ... well in addition to important functions like calling or sending text messages, you could share songs by infrared or something like that (ID to the shit). Luckily they evolved and now you have apps for everything. I still use it mainly to communicate with my friends and family, but I also listened to music on Spotify, I travel on Uber, I share content on Instagram, I mak

CAREER-RELATED WEBSITE

Image
Hi everyone, today I would write about a website related to my career… well, related with any scientific career I guess. Because if there is something that all biochemists and related careers hate, it is paying to read a paper. SCI-HUB...to remove all barriers in the way of science. SCI-HUB is a website with millions of academic papers and articles available for direct and free download. The amazing thing here is that this website bypasses the publisher paywalls  allowing the access for anyone. This project was founded by Kazakhstani graduate student Alexandra Elbakyan in 2011,  as a reaction to the high cost of research papers . I remember that a couple of years ago different academic publishers filed a legal complaint and a lawsuit against SCI-HUB by copyright infringement, and the website died for a while. But keep calm because it just change the web domain and works like always. I use this website very often, about three times a week when I have a researc
