Your blogging experience

Well my blogging experience has been great, i feel comfortable with the result of the blogs, and also i have to say that the topics are very interesting! i mean, it's nice to do the blogs because, in my opinion, you keep entertained while you're doing them, some topics are more interesting than others, but that's something subjective.

I feel that my writing skills are more advanced now, because the fact that you have to write a blog once a week makes your English skills to increase. That's all about to be constant, so in my opinion, it has been a nice experience to work this way, if i had to recommend this method to learn English, i would definitely do that.

In the future, i'd like to work more with spoken English; i think the best way to learn a language is speaking it, with my classmates or Britain/American people, in that case, after learning English, they could teach us they slang and stuff, i think that would be interesting. But also I have to say that the teacher's activities should stay, they are very useful and make you learn new things, at least in my case.

Honestly, I’d like to write about conspiracies, futurism, music and stuff, I find interesting to write/talk about that topics , they have so many ideas to express, you can spend hours and hours talking/writing about that… 

From the invisible to the visible world and back...

I think the science it's something hard to understand, but when you get it, you realize that are so many things that you can do with it, even things we think  are impossible.

One of the relevant topics to talk about, it's the most resistant material in the world, i'm talking about Graphene.

Graphene it's a structure composed by pure carbon, a disposed in a hexagonal form, atomically speaking. It's about 200 times stronger than the steel. It' an allotrope of carbon.

This Allotrope it's used in bio medicine and electronic principally (it has another uses too). In bio medicine, it's used like an anti-carcinogenic agent, but in electronic, it's used to create circuits, that's because the Graphene it's an excellent electric conductor.

I think the Graphene it's going to be a very good friend during the career, because it has a lot of uses, and we don't know how many more uses it has. It could help us to create new substances, or other materials; honestly, i can't imagine in this moment how many uses it could has.

I choose it because in my opinion, it's very important to know about the material that will change the future, it's the more resistant material discovered ever, and it could pass a long time before we discover another material better than this.

Probably in the future the Graphene it's going to be used to create military technology i think, like bulletproof vest, military weapons like knife's , gun's , and stuff. I hope they use it with good purposes, i mean, in the scientific area.

I learned about this material when i was watching the news, i just remembered the name of it, so i decided to investigate more because i think it was amazing.

Few people know about this, i don't really know if it's going to be accepted or not, but I’m sure it's going to facilitate people's life in many ways, at work, a home...

The more disturbing thing is that it could be used with bad purposes, like , end human life's, destroy the environment, and things like that, but in my opinion, it has more advantages than disadvantages.

The most enjoyable subject...

When you start the academic year, there are some things to considerate about the career, like, if you like the subjects, teachers, academic environment, and other important stuff.

In my case, my favorite subject at the moment is chemistry. I think it has many interesting things, the reactions, understand how they happen, and other things related to it. (I’m not passionate or anything like that, i just like and that's all)

In classes, I’m focus on the teacher and what he/she says, because i think the teacher's comments are more relevant than copy the content without paying attention, but obviously i copy the content when i have to do it, but honestly, i hate to copy the content from a PowerPoint presentation, because my eyes get tired rapidly, that's because i wear glasses i think.

I like the subject because i think it's dynamic, easy (depending of the specific content), and interesting. I think it's important to know this basic chemistry, because it's the base of what are going to study years later.

In my opinion, my teachers aren't so good pedagogically speaking, that's why sometimes i have to study from YouTube or from chemistry books, depending on the case, and sometimes, i ask a mate to teach me something, they have good will, but they are a problem too, because there are too many of them in the classroom, so I have to sit at the end of the classroom when I’m late.

My two teachers, Parada and Atria, have a different way to teach each other. Parada it's more theoretical in his classes, and Atria teach all things solving exercises in front of all. In my opinion, the classes should be imparted with more exercises than theory, but well, at least i have been in both extremes.

Person/Expert you admire

The universe it's something endlessly, we know just a few things about them, there are many things that have't been discovered yet, so we are learning everyday new stuff about the universe.

One of the guys who made important contributions to science it's Carl Sagan (1934-1996), he was an american astronomer,  astrophysicist, astrobiologist and other things related to the outer space research. He contributed with investigations about extraterrestrial life, and one of the most important, was about the production of amino acid from basic chemicals by radiation. In my personal opinion, he is one of the most relevants and complete scientifics of the "new era" 

He was  a pioneer in exobiology, a science that studies the presence of life in the outer space, but it's just based on theorys by now, because there isn´t enough evidence to demonstrate the existence of life in the outer space.

And he also helped to discover the high temperatures of Venus, he basically studied the radio waves irradiated by Venus, and with other relevant information, he determined that the Temperature of Venus it's approximately 380 °C.

I admire him because he dedicated his life to study the biology in the outer space, and he also was one of the creators of the exobiology, it's important to recall that the exobiology it's a mix of astrophysics, biology and geology, so that make it a hard science to study and understand. There is something i forgot to say before, he also has a book and a documentary, both with the same name "Cosmos". I saw the documentary and i have to say that it's very interesting and the most important, it's inspiring.
