The impact of my studies

Imagen
 Hello again, do you remember that I am studying biochemistry? Today I will talk about the impact of this on the world. My career is about all kinds of science, so we can make the world a better place in many ways, from culture to necessary experiments and contribute to them so that we can continue to live on this planet. For example, in popular science we can help people to know more about chemistry, I have always heard that chemicals are "bad", but since I am studying biochemistry I learned and realized that they are not, but that the amount of chemical is good or toxic. We can also create ideas that help the environment, such as recycling, we can create new ideas on how to recycle and help us fight pollution in the world and give our planet more years of life.                                                        Examples:      Since I was a child I see myself contributing to all this, doing experiments that help me find cures for diseases, help the planet and help people

 Valentina Parra. Doctor in Biochemistry from the University of Chile. She has additional professional research experience in three laboratories outside the country: at the University of Liverpool, University of Utah and at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. She has won many awards such as the L'Óreal-Unesco Award for Women in Science in 2011, the Oriana Josseau Foundation Award and the Young Talent in Life Sciences Award nomination from GE Healthcare and the Brazilian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SBBQ) in the year 2012. For all these achievements, because she is a young woman and because she is Chilean, I admire her as a biochemist, she is an example to follow for all women who want to dedicate ourselves to science, I met her thanks to the faculty since she is a professor of a branch of my career (biochemistry), I wish I could be a bit like her, be a recognized woman in science, do what I love and win awards for my achievements, I hope
