My Blogging Experience

My blog looks this semester 
This blog was created because my English teacher evaluates our writing through this.
At the beginning, it was really difficult, and I didn't know how to explain my ideas about a common topic that was chosen by the class. I was nervous about my typing and I used to think a lot before write.
But, as days go by, I started to feel more comfortable with writing my ideas and emotions. I stopped thinking about the mark that my teacher would put to me for the blogs and I started to enjoy them.

Writing it's something that I love to do. But always I had written just in Spanish. Now I have learned that languages are not a limit to express myself, and it's just a thing of confidence and relax.
Also, you can increase your English (or any type of language) level, while you write.

Mine, for example, has improved, but more important than that it's the fact that I learned to let myself go at writing, thing that helps me to feel English as my original language and also improved the way to get the words out of my mind.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   This site will be probably better if we could add some optional posts extra after the class, because sometimes when I go back to home I continue reading about the topic chosen in class, and find things more interesting than I had written in the blog, and will be probably interesting to complement our posts and add some new information.

In the future, I would like to write about me, like if the blog were a diary and we could spell out all of our feelings, and while we learn English we also clear our minds of the evaluations. It will be really interesting to read my classmates' blogs about their feelings and experiences of the week.

It's really sad but this is the last blog, but this is not a goodbye it is just a see you later <3 Hope that you have enjoyed as me this experience, and see you next semester! Best wishes for you :)

Ps: here a link to funniest cats of the world, enjoy!

Silver Nanoparticles

Silver Nanoparticles

Silver Nanoparticles are incorporated in apparel, footwear, paints, wound dressings, appliances, cosmetics, and plastics for their antibacterial properties. This has been really succesfull and helpfull.
One of the things that you can do on my career it's about investigate new forms to help people to have a better life or find a solution to several desseases.
As you can see nanoparticles can be the solution as antibacterial on our common day. But also this ones can help on cancer or other desseases, but silver ones aren't the only ones finded to help people, gold and cupper nanoparticles are on prove now as well.
I chose this ones because they have been involve on breast cancer treatment and ha have a lot of success.

There's some new investigations that involve Silver Nanoparticles on Breast Cancer. This ones in the future can decrease the proliferation of cancer cells. Soon as a sphere that releases control keys silver in the middle, which are those that have the action, the proliferation start to stop.
This could be complementary to the treatments that already exist (radiations and chemotherapies), to diminish the side effects in the patients.
The results are encouraging, as the treatment with silver nanoparticles has achieved up to 80% of the cancer cells disappear.
Two years ago I learned about gold nanoparticles on a biology homework, and I got so interested that I started to look about all the nanoparticles involve on cancer treatments. That was the first time that I heard about Silver Nanoparticles.
As I had mentionated they will help to increase welfare of mans and womans hoose suffer breast cancer, making they treatment short and more succesful.
One of the advantages of using this type of nanoparticles lies in the low cost and high results. So far the tests have only been done in vitro (without living organisms) and have not yet been tested in animals. But the disadventages of using silver nanoparticles resides in the possible toxicidade of the acumulation of it, anywhere has been prove that the number of nanoparticules acumulated its little and can't damage people.
The future it's on micro and nano technology, and the future it's now. 

The Most Enjoyable Subject

One of the things that I enjoy the most it's being on the lab. This term we course the subject: " Chemical Laboratory Techniques" but I can't say this one it's my favorite subject because my favorite it's probably Molecular Genetic.

But for now, Chemical Laboratory Techniques it's going right and I like it a lot.
On this subject we learn about some basic techniques and experiments that will help us in the future to feel more confortable on the lab.

Drop by Drop we learn the precision necesary on the lab.
On the week we have lessons just one day, in my case all the thursdays. The class has a duration of 4 hours and it is divided on 2 parts. The first one it's a theory class ant it has a duration of 1 hour. The the other 3 hours are on the lab and it is a practical lesson.
Being so close to the reality of my future profession it's the reason why I like this subject so much, and the complications that can have some process that you see so short and easy makes interesting this subject, because you learn that nothing it's so fast and easy on an investigation.
The teacher in charge of the course it's Inés Ahumada, but lessons and practicals had a lot of teachers because they turn the contents and the groups to teach. 
If no one teach us it´s impossible to us know the correct way to take the instruments or the exactly precition of an experiment. Chemestry it's an exact science, so if we fail just in one drop it can be letal. We need teachers to soport and guide us to learn the correct manage of the laboratory stuff.
Biochemestry it's a career that works on the laboratory, so this subject were implicit on my desition to study a cientific investigtion career.
All students of first year has to take this subject. We are approximately 300 students, divided on groups of day and lab table.
On this term we have learn about safety rules, extraction methods,titration and about 10 contents more.
This subject it's really amazing.
