A country that i would like to visit

Exist too many options every time that I make this question to myself. There is always a different country as answer, and that depends on how much favoritism have for a country at some point, something like controlled by the mood. But in this time, the country that i would prefer to visit is Iceland

The most enjoyable subject thus far...

I think it would be hasty to say which is my favorite subject, until now has been two subjects that have my attention. One of this is "razonamiento y comunicación científica" by teacher Daniela Seelenfreund and Dante Miranda, they are responsible to guide and introduce in the world of scientist and specifically in the labour of biochemistry in the world. To make it possible, in classes have been done various project, consisting of analysis certain papers and here where become insteresting the subject by paper´s content. By the way at the beginning there were speeches of several special guest like doctors and newly qualified students with the purpose of motivating for continue study.
The other subject would be " Técnicas de laboratorio químico" by Aida Ahumada, but support for other teacher like assistant. Here it is given more importance at the practicalities over the theoretical aspects, which it is quite nice for someone who never had experience in laboratories (like me), and although the experiments carried out in classes seems to be easy, does not detract from the importance that will have future.
In summary I would could say easily that my favorite subject is "técnicas de laboratorio químico", but only would be for practical work and I would leaving aside the theoretical level being the basis of the practice.

expert that you admire

Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?


The person that I admire is Albert Hofmann (11 january 1906-29 april 2008). He was a swiss scientist, his main interest was the chemistry of plants and animals, and he later conducted important research on the chemical structure of the common animal substance chitin, but he es better know because for being the first person to synthesize, ingest, and learn of the psychedelic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).

When I say that admire this person, I dont try to sound like a junkie, I just had the possibility of read a book from him, titled "Insight Outlook", this book leads me on an exploration of reality perception, where our newly discovered insights are drawn into intellectual meditation. I understood that the reality is approached as a combination of subjective and objective truths, which must be unified for ultimate awareness. That is what I recover of him, the call to be openmind, not to give importance to what happens superficially, question what happens around us and seek answers.

to finish, I will quote the description of the effect experienced hofmann. "I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors."
