The best holidays

 The best vacations of my life were three years ago, in the summer of 2019. It was a spontaneous trip, we did not have a defined place or an established panorama, we only traveled by car to the south of Chile and we found a small town located between Villarrica and Pucón where we settled. The house where we stayed did not have drinking water, it was far from the city and I had to share a room with my sister, but the place was beautiful, there was a lot of vegetation everywhere, the place was quiet and the man who rented the house to us he gave away fruit, vegetables and eggs

During the day we went out to visit the nearby towns, we went to bathe in lakes and rivers, and even one day we went to Chiloé. In the afternoons we would go for a walk with our dog around the house, and at night we would go out to buy crafts, or else we would stay at home and take a blanket out to the garden to look at the stars. We were only on vacation for a week, but it was one of the best weeks of my life because I was with the people I love the most: my mom, my dad, my sister and my dog Bobby

We didn't know it at the time, but that was Bobby's last vacation

A country I would like to visit

Imagen
One of the countries that I have always wanted to visit is Italy. I love all the typical food of that country: lasagna, ravioli, gnocchi, etc. I also consider that their language is very beautiful or at least phonetically it sounds more “stylized”, in addition, as it is very similar to Spanish, it is easier for Spanish-speaking people to understand. From what I know, Italy was the cradle of Roman culture, so its cities are full of monuments, stories and architectural styles I would like to be able to go one day to the Torre di Pisa or the Colosseum, toss a coin in the Fontana di Trevi and return to Rome in the future, or take a boat ride through Venice. Eat pizza on the shores of the Mediterranean and even go see car races I would like to live in Italy for a time, maybe 2 or 3 years to be able to visit well all its monuments and get to know all its corners, but it is something that I would like to do more in the future, perhaps when I am 50 or 60 years old, as it seems to be a country ...

Time Travel to the future

With everything we see on a daily basis about global warming and how humans have been destroying planet Earth, I don't think there is a hopeful future for humanity, but if I had that time travel to the future I would like to believe that at some point in history we became aware of our actions and managed to reverse global warming. I imagine traveling close to 100 years in the future. I would like to see what has happened to Chile in all this time, and if it is possible and it still exists, I would like to visit the place where I was born. I hope that in all this time it has grown and goes from being a town to a small city, with good schools, hospitals and even cinemas and commercial stores that today it is impossible to think that they are installed in such a small town. If that were the case, I would like to go through it all, walk along the avenue in the light of the sunset sun and walk to the house where I grew up, perhaps knowing what happened to me and my family, to know if my...

Salvia hispanica L.

This time I am going to talk to you about the topic of my thesis. For this, we must first know that plants have different secondary chemical compounds that can be used by humans to make medicines according to the characteristic properties of these compounds. Chia is a seed that is known to have high nutritional value for humans, but the properties of the plant from which the seeds are extracted have not yet been scientifically studied. The objective of my thesis is to study the antiparasitic and anticancer capacity of certain chemical compounds that can be found in the Salvia hispanica L., which corresponds to the chia plant, for this first the HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) technique is used to identify and quantify the chemical compounds of the plant HPLC consists of equipment that sucks a liquid solution through pumps and passes it through a column that has a chemical compound that retains the different molecules contained in the sample. Each of the molecules comes o...
