A expert in my field that I admire


 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 I can continue learning about her and how important she is for science.

She has several important researches on mitochondria, these researches attract a lot of attention to investigate since it is an important organelle in cells.

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

Summer holidays.

Today I will talk about my vacations, normally I always work in the summers, I live in Villarrica in the summers and we all work because tourists arrive and it is the best time to work and raise money, January is one of the best months, the city fills up and there are many customers buying. I usually work at a fair where I sell jams, I work from 6:00 pm to 00:00, I like this schedule since in the morning I can go to the beach, eat out, sleep late and get ready to go to work I like it because also at that time the sun is not so strong and it is not very hot. If one day they visit Villarrica in January, I will be there to serve them hahahah. February is different, since it is the only whole month of vacation for my mother, so I only work sometimes, and I take time to go out and be with her, we are adventurous and until winter we go to the beach, to the snow what Hahahah, but the months of February are clearly for the family and the preparations for then in March to return to Santiago and

My opinion about english

Imagen
 The truth is that English has never been my favorite subject, but I have always wanted to learn because it is a very important language in my career and in life, but, actually, I don't know why it has always been so difficult for me. Since I was a little girl, I have fought with all my English teachers, because they did not know how to teach to those who cost us the most. Sometimes I learn but if I stop practicing for two weeks I forget all of it, hahaha, I don't know what happens to me with English because it doesn't fit in my head. But it has always been one of my dreams can speak it well, to be able to travel and communicate with people who only speak that language.
