And now...my favourite subject is...

Hi again! Today I'm going to write about my favourite subject. This is Conduct. Maybe some people will think "what?" hahaha.
Conduct is every change of form, posicion or activity in an organism, as a transicion over time.
The classes of this subject are very interesting. Our teacher usually use wonderful examples to explain these changes. I really enjoy the classes about neurobiology of conduct. At the end of the classes, Mr Solis show us some paper related with the main topic, and sometimes he compares animals with humans.
I apreciate how he give us his opinion about the experiments.
Since i was a child, i was very interested on experiments related with behavior. I like this area because is important to predict some situations to improve other aspects. Besides i think that if we can understand the conduct of animals, maybe we will be able to understan them and a part of us.
It's more easy learn numbers and biological concepts, than predict the conduct of any organism. Memorize is more easy than think by ourselves.
That is something that a lot of my classmates have to understand to respect this subject. 
See you!

Humberto Maturana...

It is difficult to me choose one person, because i admire a lot of people. However i think that this time i can mention one of my favorites scientists. This person is Humberto Maturana. He is a very important biologist in Chile. Besides, he worked as an epistemologist to. In my view, his work was very relevant, not just for the biology area, but also provides insight into a type of reasoning that explain what is life. This think is awesome, because just a few scientists do this reasoning. Try to explain what is life and what is the difference between something death and something alive it is a hard work considerating that a lot of scientists just do experiments at the laboratory without a real objetive. In his work, he began to use the concept of autopoyesis. The autopoyetics things are capable to be alive for its own count by closed systems of autoproduction.

I really like how he write about biology of learning. Sometimes i think that he is a kind of philosopher that wants to know the answer of the main things in the life. If we know why we are alive, maybe we will know how to improve in a better way our lives.

I hope that some day the actual current scientists begining their works, question why they are doing the experiment and what is the real porpouse...maybe a philosopher in biology could bring to us  the answer that we need to live better.

By the way, i didn't want to put a biography about Maturana, because i admire him not for his age or the school were he studied. I try to say why his work inspires me.
I admire him just for his reasoning.

Why i'm here...?

Hello again!! Today i will tell you why i'm here, in this university and specifically, this career. When i was 17, i had to take a very important decision about my future. I remember that i really want to study something relation to medicine, and then i began to study midwifery at University of Valparaiso. I was two years there, and then i left it. I was very confused about my future, 'cause i understood that i didn't like human medicine. So, i gave the PSU test again. Until that day, i tried to think in options. I loved medicine for all its subjects, cirugy and investigation.
It was the day. The day of my decision i decided to study veterinary medicine. Some people said that i was crazy! hahaha i still remember the opinions of them.
I had to move from Viña del Mar to Santiago. A very different city!!!! Besides...living alone. When i began to know about my teachers and everything at University of Chile, i began to fell very exciting. I always loved animals, but it wasn't that the real reason that i choose this career. I decided to study veterinary because i knew that in the future i would to dedicate my life to investigate diseases and how to treat them. The investigation it's something that i want to do all my life...and i know that i have to study a lot.  I dream with the idea of ecosistemic medicine, just one heatlh to all. Maybe i will be a kind of crazy scientific  haha.
Today at the university everything is good. I have new friends and i feel good and... i go to viña every weekend  :D

About myself

And...here i am, writing my new blog! My name is Yanara and i'm 20 years, but not for longer. I study veterinary medicine,  but before, i had been 2 years in midwifery. I'm really happy now, i think that i took the right way.What else can i say about me? I'm violinist since i was 12, and for me is something very special. I think that the music is one of the most important things in the world becuse when you are listening,  is like everything inside you were feeling, more than your ears or your brain. Is very exciting when your skin begin looks like chicken's skin...

I hope write very soon :).
