Marie Curie

"A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales."


Hello to all my classmates and teacher, today I will talk about my favourite scientist: Marie Curie.
Marie Curie was a Polish and naturalized French physicist and chemist (was born on November 7, 1867 and died on July 4,1934 at 66 years) who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person and only woman to win twice, the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences: physics (1903) and chemistry (1911). She was also the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris. Her achievements included the development of the radioactivity theory, radioactive isotope isolation techniques, and the discovery of two elements that today are in the periodic table of elements: polonium (Po) and radium (Ra).
I admire Marie Curie because I think that in her time was too difficult to excel as a woman due to existed a very macho society, the women were considered below mens. Nonetheless she never gave up, exprored, discovered, analyzed and became one of the most important scientists to this day. An exemplary model to follow.
I consider this women is important because she pushed many of others womens to do what they proposed to do in their time.

  5. I'm absolutely sure that she encouraged many women to rise their voices and say what they needed to say, because she never gave up, in the science field and in that era women were undervalued

My favourite piece of "technology"

Well, I do not know if this device is considered technological, but I think that if this instrument was called electroacoustic guitar, should have something of technological, haha. This is a piece of wood that has six strings, personally I think that this contributes in my life in a big quantity, because I'm always stressed and when I play my guitar all the things that were in my mind desappear. I've got this about 6-7 years ago. I remember that the day that my mother bought me the guitar I felt very very happy. I must admit that using this instrument cost me a lot, because I am left-handed and well, I had to acquire enough rhythm in my unskilled hand to get good results. I finally got it, I learned to play guitar alone, watching tutorials on the internet. I usually play this instrument frequently, although now I can not do this all days, the university takes away a lot of time. I think that my life without this, would be boring, there aren't any better than a l...

Personal opinion about some things

Hi everyone, in this blog I'll talk about my opinion to different questions like: What is your opinion about the immigration situation in Chile?; What is your opinion about tatoos?; What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana and other drugs?; What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases? In first place, I think that the inmigration in Chile causes a lot of discomfort in some people because they say "immigrants come to take away from us job opportunities" "immigrants come to increase crime in our country" and many other stupidities. The Chilean people always complain about something, but I think that inmigrants have every right to come to our country to feel better and have a better quality of life.  Also, Chileans are lazy and immigrants do not take "our jobs", most of them come to work in whatever way they can to support their families. In second place, I like tattoos , not big tattoos, but those that are more discreet an...

My route to chemistry

Here I go again. When I was little my dream was to be an actress, because I was good enough to learn scripts and then interpret them. There was also a time when I wanted to study veterinary medicine, I love animals and I always wanted to adopt them all, but my mother never left me, because we have always lived in the apartment and as if it were not enough, I'm allergic. When I was in school, I was very confused because I didn't know what to study, my teachers of chemistry and biology told me many things about the careers that existed. I always wanted something related to chemistry or health. After the results of the PSU I decided to study chemistry and pharmacy but my score didn't reach and I opted for chemistry (my plan was to change later because I didn't know this career). Finally, with the introductory courses the university career managed to win my love and here I am, motivated to continue and take my title. Now, regarding my stay in the university, I feel v...
