My blogging experience

The truth is that I've never done a blog entrance or published things like I do on this class, because I'm not much a social person, not on the network or social webs and also not much on the face to face. I preffer talk about myself in a personal way, but I do this not cause of fear at the publics or fear to the people, I think is just quite better keep somethings about me just for me.

By the way on this class I had the opportunity of share my thinking way with people that I never know previously, talking about differents things in a friendly form. I think this type of comunication and information share cannot be if were not using this web plataform to do this. Then this class and the blogging experience was so funny and interesting, but also sometimes I was bored cause the inspiration to writte not come to me. 

Now I can see that my writting skills have increased from the baseline of this class, I can read and write much better than how I can do it at beggining, at the same time it's more simple for me to share my personal vision about things in public or private, so, I have to thank to this class for giving that social skills or increased that social skills.
I would like to include at this blogging job more variated themes to write, we write about personal experiences, science but I think also we could write about our prefferences in different things.

In the future... I'm think about how I will write, and think about if I still write blogs entrances or social publications on this type of plataforms. But in the possibility that I have to write in the future I think I will be writting about music, my favorites bands and songs, or about funny anecdotes, I also think that always is interesting write about the sadness or problems that happened in our lives, but this is problematic because other people have problems too and is not fair share my problems with the, I guess. So, I think I could write about videogames, music, literature, whatever, it doesn't matter if I can feel happy or relaxed doing this.

From the invisible to the visible world and back

In the microbiology the air tightness is  a fundamental parameter, be cause the microrganisms in a sample are too much delicate, and an exposition to the common ambient can be dangerous, cause of this reason is neccesary in a microbiology lab, have an Autoclave.

The autoclave is a device that we can use to close hermetically a sample with a bacteria colony for an example. The use of this device is so important in a investigation and it is very rare not have one.

There are physical, chemical, and biological indicators that can be used to ensure that an autoclave reaches the correct temperature for the correct amount of time. If a non-treated or improperly treated item can be confused for a treated item, then there is the risk that they will become mixed up, which, in some areas such as surgery, is critical.

Chemical indicators on medical packaging and autoclave tape change color once the correct conditions have been met, indicating that the object inside the package, or under the tape, has been appropriately processed. Autoclave tape is only a marker that steam and heat have activated the dye. The marker on the tape does not indicate complete sterility. A more difficult challenge device, named the Bowie-Dick device after its inventors, is also used to verify a full cycle. This contains a full sheet of chemical indicator placed in the center of a stack of paper. It is designed specifically to prove that the process achieved full temperature and time required for a normal minimum cycle of 134 °C for 3.5–4 minutes.

 To prove sterility, biological indicators are used. Biological indicators contain spores of a heat-resistant bacterium, Geobacillus stearothermophilus. If the autoclave does not reach the right temperature, the spores will germinate when incubated and their metabolism will change the color of a pH-sensitive chemical. Some physical indicators consist of an alloy designed to melt only after being subjected to a given temperature for the relevant holding time. If the alloy melts, the change will be visible.

So the autoclave is an amazing instrument that sometimes the people forget, or don't know nothing about it, if we keep in mind we may have other uses and applications for it. I like to think about the instruments that have a normal use but in the bottom of that instrument we can found a lot of things that we never could imagine, so keep in mind on this day and every day!.

The most enjoyable subject this far...

At this moment the most enjoyable subject in the career is chemical laboratory techniques, a practical subject in that we learn what their name says, chemical laboratory techniques. In this subject we have a theoretical class and late a practical laboratory about the class of that day. So, in this subject we learned different techniques that help us in the chemical laboratory job.
Commonly used techniques like destilation, fitration, reduced pressure filtration, volume and density measurements are just a few of the things that we do in this subject. To do this things we have to use different materials like different volumetric, erlemeyer and kitasato's flask, beakers, refrigerants, Bunsen burner, analytical and precission balances. All of these things can be done under the tutelage of our teachers. I like this subject because I can do a practical lab job, is the most similar subjet to the real laboratory subject, and also contains fundamental and basic concepts that we have to use for the rest of our life (if we have to job after our jubilation). So, I think this subject is too much interesting and important in our scientific formation.

Person or Expert you admire

Think about a person that I admire sometimes is very difficult for me, I admire my father and my grandmother, for the efforts that they do for me, but this blog isn't about my family, is about a person or expert that I admire in the field of my career, and this person is Francisco Varela.
Francisco Varela was a Chilean biologist who investigate the neuroscientific and cognitive sciences, bringing them the dialog between the sciences and buddhism.
Varela was born in 1946 in Santiago in Chile, he completed the secundary school at the Liceo Aleman del Verbo Divino in Santiago. After this he studied medicine at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, but for no longer, after that he graduate in Biology at the University of Chile and later he obtained a Ph.D in biology at  Harvard University. While the dictatorial government of Augusto Pinochet he was exiled with his family for 7 years. During this time he was on United States, later he return to become a professor of Biology.
While the 70s Varela became in a Tibetan Buddhist at the point that he studied with Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche a Nepalese master of meditation and higher tantras.
In 1986 he settled in France where he at first taught cognitive science and epistemology at the École Polytechnique, and neuroscience at University of Paris. He founded the Mind and Life Institute with Adam Engle in 1987. And from 1988 until his dead in 2001 he lead de CNRS (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique).
Varela's strong philosophical influences still remaining with his teacher and fellow Humberto Maturana. Both of this Biologyst studied on this University, both of this scientifics are experts to admire, in many fields. The autopoiesis theory, the cognitive science work, the Mind and Life Insitute and the harmony between Buddhism and Biology, all those things have my entire admiration.
Varela died in 2001 in Paris of Hepatitis C, his professor, Humberto Maturana still

researching and giving oral presentations about his biologyc philosophy.

About pets, love and friendship

Well, I have now two pets, a dog and a cat, but I always love cats, a cat is a pet that can't trust in you if you're have a bad presence with them, but if you love it and take care of them, they always love you. 

Four years ago, my father gave me a little cat, who had grey fur and white paws. I still remember the first day when this small hairball hides in my bedroom, under my bed, afraid of the new house far away from his mother and brother, with a new family, my family. And this small thing was called Ñaño, and Ñaño was my pet for four years, we loved him, he was the most humble and courageous cat that I never seen. A great cat, a great friend, a member of the family, I remember every day his face and his meows, hungry for food, he was always hungry, for food or love. I always think if I was a good friend for him, and also I think if he understood when we said him the too much love that we keep on him. Now I'm crying while writting, since a month ago aprox. Ñaño don't return to my house, no more, I miss him, my father too, and we hope to see our friend one last time. I want to know what happened to him, but I know that's impossible now and it's very sad for me.

The only thing that I can do is think and remember him with a big smile in my mouth and a tear in my cheek.

See you soon, my dear dear friend.
