person I admire

-



One expert in the field that I admire is a Chilean biochemist, his name is Gabriel Leon (his last name is a coincidence, he is not related to me). 

He studied at the Catholic University of Chile and graduated as a biochemist, a doctor in cellular and molecular biology.

He is currently an academic and researcher at the Andres Bello University. 

I chose him to talk about him because when I was younger my mother gave me a book of his, called "La ciencia del pop", this is a science book that talks about different topics that can be curious for a child or a person who has doubts about things that happen, the best thing about this book is that it is written so that everyone can understand it, maybe some things are more specific but for someone with an interest in science is an initial way to understand some things.

Gabriel besides having a research in science, is one of the main exponents in the popularization of science, as the book I mentioned before has many more, and other publications to inform the public of scientific issues without the need to study something related.

    Hi isa, I love your way of describing this author, the truth is that I'm not very good at reading, I don't like it much, but the way you describe the book and the author, I'm really interested in reading it. Also, if you say it's for someone who is just starting their interest in science, I think it must be a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing it hahahaha.

    Hello Isa, I find the person you describe very entertaining and even more so his books, the truth is that I had not heard of him and I really liked the books to present them to curious children haha

    Hello Isadora, I really like your strategy to create interest in people and to be able to inform them of their topics of interest

    I love his work as a science communicator, especially the turn he has taken with this whole pandemic where he has sought to inform different aspects of the coronavirus.

How can my studies make the world a better place?

 I study biochemistry, even though it is a small and not very well-known career, I find it very important. It is a relatively new career but many of the discoveries of people who studied it were very important and marked the world of medicine. some of the studies that can be done are to find a solution to several diseases that so far have not found a cure or a treatment.  I see myself finding something that helps people, more specifically I like the area of genetics, and to find a cure for a genetic disease such as Down syndrome or Parkinson, would be the greatest achievement in my career, I know it is ambitious, but to see that these people can have a better quality of life, makes me strive at every moment to be closer to achieving it.

my career

I started out wanting to be a ballerina since my mother always told me that she called me Isadora the ballet dancer, then I wanted to be a lawyer but eventually, I realized that reading so much and history was not my thing, although I must admit that with the papers I ended up reading a lot anyway.  When I was already in my fourth year I realized that the scientific side was where I wanted to focus, but at the beginning where I looked, it told me that I had to study medicine to be able to work in research, since my focus was genetics, until in a career fair of this university I found biochemistry, at the time of applying I hesitated a lot between the one I am and engineering in biotechnology, but as the laboratory work was what I wanted, I decided for this one. my experience in this university has not been so good, since due to the pandemic, nobody has been able to live the "university life" as I imagined it. I was lucky that I was in a university before and I knew how it was

my favorite food

My favorite food is usually eaten in winter and has a sweet taste. My best memory is of my grandmother making the dough on her way home from school on a cold day.  They are not very difficult to prepare, they have normal ingredients like flour, egg, a little water, butter and can also include some special touches depending on who is cooking them.  I don't think they are very healthy because you have to fry them and they also have a sweet powder on top. I'm not good at cooking, but this recipe is pretty easy, although it does get tiring having to put the dough together. now we make the recipe with my mom, they are not very similar to my grandmother's, but we try. If you still don't know what it is, I can tell you that it is Chilean food :)
