The most amazing organ...

For me, the most amazing organ of the human body is the brain, because he commands all the others organs and allows to the coordinate functioning of them. Also he is responsible of our feelings and emotions that are relationship with the preserve of our existence.

But first, the brain its located inside of our skull, has a calculated size (volume) of 1100 cm3, weighs around 1.4 kg and has approximately 80 million of neurons, but it is not his size the most important but its complexity of connection  between different parts of encephalon.

In red, our brain.

Although the brain it is protect with bonds and a blood brain barrier the brain its very soft and its nature make it very susceptible to illness because a traumatism in the head, a vascular brain accident or an intoxication. The human brain also its susceptible of suffer degenerative illness like Parkinson, epilepsy, Alzheimer. One series of psychiatric disorders are caused because a dysfunction of the brain like schizophrenia, neurosis or depression but the nature of this illness is in investigation yet.

Protection of the brain

We can help in the correct functioning of our brain eating healthy making physical and mental exercises  and sharing with people.

The most enjoyable subject...

Actually, my most enjoyable subject is organic chemistry laboratory because we do and put to the test the reactions that we study in the aula. We synthesize a lot of compounds, many of them important, like aspirin, a very use medicine. I also like that subject because is practical and theoretical and I like because in the laboratory generates an environment of companionship and exchange of opinions.

I like the subject too because have the correctly number of members, approximately thirty, and if this not be like that, the subject have been catastrophic because it would form a chaos and we work with dangerous reactive. The teacher people are very important too, I have the fortune of have a very nice teacher and two kind assistants, and that makes the subject enjoyable. However, the subject it is challenging, because I have to be very focused on what I am doing, and I like that because it requires all my concentration.  

Finally, I like the subject because work in a laboratory is what I will do in the future, so the subject also it is very useful for ambience and learn how a laboratory works.

About love, pets and friendship

I’ve only had two pets in my life, both cats and theirs names was María José and Pelusa. I didn't have them at the same time, first I have María José when I was 3 or 4 years approximately, so I didn't remember her, but I remember Pelusa, I put that name because, I liked the cat with this name that appears in the movie stuart little, it's funny because my cat was not like that.
My cat was very important to me because I learn about responsability and take care of others. My cat was mother of three kittens, and thats was beautifull, but the story ends sad for me, because my family and I wents to vacations and we leave them in someone's care but when we came back they were not. I just hope that nothing bad happened to them.

So, since that day, i’ve never had another pet. But recently I was know the dogs (before I afraid them) and I liked them, they are so nice, I liked cuy too, I would like to have one of the two or the two.

Pitbull Terrier is my favorite breed of dogs

My Favorite Film or Book

I don’t have a favorite fill, but I can tell us about my favorite books. Mainly my favorite books are those adventures.

The last book that I really enjoy was “The Signature of All Things” by Elizabeth Gilbert, an adventure story, and I like it because, it is extraordinary, and it is the best book that I have read. It tells the life story of a scientific woman, that dedicated his life to the botanic and studies the evolution, but she knows a man that conduce her to the opposite direction, the spiritual path.

The second book of adventures that I enjoyed was “The Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown, it is a very entertaining book, with so much historic tips.  Tells the story about the Holy Grail that used Jesus in the last supper, and the objective of the protagonists its find it. They made a movie about the story but I prefer the book.

My favourite piece of technology

Like that was my radio 

When I think about my childhood the first memories that appear are I listening music and singing all the songs of the radio of my house, I still remember that radio, it was big and it played cassettes, the other artifact that I enjoyed was the TV because, I could watch cartoons. I remember that I liked too much The Cosmic Cat.

But now in the present, I think that my favorite piece of technology is my cellphone, because it have everything, music, movies, videos, maps, all the information that I can imagine, but just with internet, but the thing that I really value is that is it laptop.

I can´t imagine that another more useful thing can be invented in the future without going beyond the fantastic way, for example, I would like that were possible to teleport because it will be fantastic, and I will never being late in any place.

Why did you choose your career?

When I was a child I thought of becoming a doctor, because I found that very beautifull work, and I admired their ability to heal people , but when I grow up and meet another professions, I learned about scientists, beings capable of discovering new things that can help us to live better and taking care of our planet, so I decide to becoming in a scientist. But there are many kinds of scientists that studys different areas, and in high school I dedicated to investigate about it. I felt a strong interest in astronomy, but I realized that this did not help much in the progress of solutions to current problems, so I decided that could be a hobby and not what I would really study. I also realized that I wanted a career that would give me the freedom to work in the area that interested me when it interested me, that's why I choose biochemistry. And my experience until now at university has been good, I like that every day I learn something new and I am always getting to know people who have the same goal as mine, to build a better world.
