FAVOURITE SERIES, MOVIE OR BOOK


Hello everyone, today I will write about a movie that I enjoy a lot, it is not my favorite, but it is an excellent cinematographic piece that I think not many know (but maybe some of you know that a whole chapter of "The Simpsons" is a wink to this movie). I speak of "Run Lola run", German movie of the year 1998 written and directed by Tom Tykwer.

The movie starts with Lola, who receives a desperate phone call from her boyfriend Manni, a criminal who has collected 100,000 deutsche mark in cash from his most recent crime. Lola had agreed to meet Manni and drive him to deliver the money to his boss, Ronnie. However, when Lola fails to arrive on time, Manni loses the bag with the cash in the subway. Manni tells her that unless he raises 100,000 mark to give Ronnie in the next 20 minutes, Ronnie will kill him. Lola implores Manni not to do anything stupid and to wait while she gets the money somehow. The rest of the film is divided into three runs by Lola. Each run starts the same way, but develops differently and has a different outcome.
What I like most about this movie is that each run has brief flashforward sequences that show how the lives of the people that Lola bumps into develop afterward. Also, the way in which the film is made has many elements and cinematographic resources inherited from experimental cinema, which makes it quite attractive visually.

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

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
