My blogging experience

How to start? Well, the blogging experience is something totally new for me. I had never written a blog in my life, so far. Also I think it is a wonderful experience, where I learn to improve my grammar and spelling, and not only that, It is an opportunity to express our thoughts.
Talking about my writing skills, I think  they are much better than at the beginning of course, I learn new words like "mischief", is a fact that writing the blog has done to expand my vocabulary.
What else I would like to write about? I have many ideas I would like to add in the future,  one of this ideas is "talk about the environment", and not only that, can convince people who read the blog that the environment is important, and we must take care. Also I want to write about daily things, with which people feel identified. Other idea is write about places of the world, but places that nobody knows, I think is a very interesting and intriguing idea. This are some ideas.
To sum up, the blogging experience is so fun, cool and refreshing. If you want to start a blog you must know that you need much inspiration, but worth exploiting our head trying to find inspiration.

PD: This is my last entry, but I hope to see you soon. xoxo

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

What do you think when you hear the words nanotechnology or micro-technology? Well, I thought it was something small, but, How small? Let's see it.

• What are they? "Nanotechnology " is used extensively to define the science and techniques applied to the nano scale level , this is extremely small(nano) measures for working and manipulating atoms and their molecular structures. Micro-technology is the technology that enables us to manufacture things on the micron scale . A micron is a millionth of a meter, or to give a clearer idea thousandth of a millimeter.
• Materials: Such as carbon nano-tubes and fullerenes other , and various nanoparticles and nanoroides.
• Instruments: The atomic force microscope, the scanning tunneling microscope, among others. 
• Techniques: X-ray lithography, optical lithography, the electron beam lithography or nanoimprint lithography,etc.
• What they are used for?                     

1. Stockpiling, Production and energy conversion.
2. Weapons and defense systems
3. Agricultural production.
4. Treatment and water remediation
5. Diagnostic and screening of diseases.
6. Drug delivery systems.
7. Food processing.
8. Remediation of air pollution.
9. Construction.
10. Health monitoring.
11. Detection and control of pests.
12. Control of malnutrition in poor places.
13. Computing.
14. Transgenic foods.
15. Molecular thermal changes (Nanotermología).

• What importance they have in your career? I think that the nanotechnology and microtechnology are very important in my career because the biochemistry is a science that need this technology for the investigation.
• What impact they may have in human welfare? This type of technology has a big impact, especially in health.
• Disadvantages: 

1. Are important if changes in the structure of society and the political system.
2. The Power of nanotechnology could be the cause of a new arms race between two competing countries. Production of weapons and spy gadgets could cost much lower than the current being also the smallest, powerful and numerous products.
3. The Inexpensive production and duplication of designs could lead to major changes in the economy.

• Advantages: 

1. The Water scarcity is a serious and growing problem. Most of the consumption of water used in production systems and agriculture, which manufacture products using molecular manufacturing could transform.
2. The Infectious diseases cause problems in many parts of the world. simple products such as pipes, filters and mosquito nets could reduce this problem.
3. Information And communication are useful tools, but in many cases do not even exist. With nanotechnology, computers would be extremely cheap.

Websites you enjoy visiting

Let´s see, I enjoy visiting many websites, but if they are only related to my career I choose two:    

        I) OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man):               

• Link:  http://www.omim.org/ 
• OMIM is a comprehensive, authoritative compendium of human genes and genetic phenotypes that is freely available and updated daily. The full-text, referenced overviews in OMIM contain information on all known mendelian disorders and over 15,000 genes. OMIM focuses on the relationship between phenotype and genotype. It is updated daily, and the entries contain copious links to other genetics resources.   
• Why I like it? Because I think that OMIM is the most incredible website about disorders in the world, and  I really love everything about the mental diseases. I recommended it 100 percent. Currently I visit the website when I have free time, maybe once a  week.

        II) NCBI ( National Center for Biotechnology Information):

• Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
• The NCBI has been charged with creating automated systems for storing and analyzing knowledge about molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics; facilitating the use of such databases and software by the research and medical community; coordinating efforts to gather biotechnology information both nationally and internationally; and performing research into advanced methods of computer-based information processing for analyzing the structure and function of biologically important molecules.   
• I like this website, because if you want about the latest research, something about science, among other, you should enter to this page. How often I visit the site? Well, not ussully, but when I do, I really enjoy surf in the website. 

The most enjoyable subject thus far...

To choose my favorite subject is not too easy, there two subject that I like too much, but I just have to choose one…

Well, my favorite subject is “Chemical laboratory techniques”, which consist in learn to use the instruments of laboratory and also we learn the techniques more basics, like how pull apart two subtances  or how make a titration, amog other things.

Why I like this subject? For the simple reason that I really like use my hands to make some destillation, even though I am very bad and all the time I make a mistake, but I know that I need practice.

I think that it is obvious that this subject is more practical than theoretical, but that doesn’t mean that is not theoretical.

Other information about the subject:

·         There are seventy-six students in the subject

·         The coordinating theacher is Aida Ahumada T.

The importance of the theacher in the lab is very important, because the students need some help, sometimes it can happen an accident. And the importance of the subject in the career is very high because is the base for every subject in the future.
