Post 7: An expert / person in your field that you admire

Hello, well today I will talk about Griselda Hinojosa. She was a woman who deserves the admiration of people and more if she is a pharmaceutical chemist. Because she was part of the first generation of women who graduated in chemistry and pharmacy also from the Universidad de Chile.

This means a big change in Chile in terms of the position of women within Chilean society.

Because during these years there was a very conservative society. She was a pioneer in representing feminism. She was born in Copiapó in 1875, the daughter of Pablo Hinojosa and Mercedes Flores.


She studied in “Escuela Particular de Niñas Rafael Valdés” and the “Liceo de Niñas de Copiapó”. She then entered to study chemistry and pharmacy at the Universidad de Chile. He graduated on December 1899 with the thesis Contribution to the study of Solanum Tomatillo.


Also as I mentioned she was part of the first group of women to receive a university degree in Chile, after the issuance of the Amunátegui decree in 1877, among whom were the physicians Eloísa Díaz (1886) and Ernestina Pérez (1887) and the lawyers Matilde Throup (1892) and Matilde Brandau (1898). He practiced his profession in the “Botica y Droguería Copiapó” until 1909, and in the Manuel Antonio Matta Pharmacy, located on the homonymous avenue in Santiago

Sadly she passed away in 1959.

Post 6: How can your mayor make the world a better place?

 

Hello, Well I think my specialty can affect the world in various ways since chemistry and pharmacy is a career with many areas. 

They can help by researching to create medicines or other substances like vaccines that are currently having a big impact globally due to covid. Another area is also healthcare where they can directly help patients in a hospital. I see myself in the future being part of one of these areas, and in the same way, making a great impact to help society.

 Although I imagine more in an area of research relative to my career, I would like to help in research to find solutions to diseases that do not yet possess a cure. 

It has contributed in a great way with vaccines for covid since it has been a terrible virus that has brought great consequences and thanks to the important role of pharmaceutical chemists have reached a possible cure for the end of this period of covid.

Thanks for reading. 

Post 5: A photo and its story

 

Hi, Well I chose this photo because it shows how we and everyone have problems but not all people show these problems, also it shows how sometimes we want to scream at ourselves to release. This makes me think that everyone has their own internal fights and the rest of the people ignore this.

So it is very important that don´t forget that everyone has problems,.. because this is impossible, and If someone shows that everything is perfect sorry but we need to accept that life has good things and bad things.

I am interested in this because I can feel the emotion that he has, this photo transmits true emotions.

The story behind the photo is that he is an artist specifically it is a “singer” his name is “Lytos” and he sings about  very intense themes for example problems in the world, personal problems that he wants to share with people, and other things. The “song” “Lo siento” is the song that makes me think a lot.

 

 Thanks for reading, and I invite you to listen to this artist.
