My Blogging experience

Write a blog it is not easy for people like me, because I never share my thoughts or my personal likes. I do have some political or philosophical point of view for many situations. However I sometime think that somebody wants to use this information against you.

In fact, today, in digital modern era, where everybody share secrets moments with "selfies", we can look or read caution notes about dangerous people that explores internet to damage someone in some way. So, we always have to care about what we say or write in attention to not share key information that can put you and the ones that you love in danger.

I think that the problem of information is in fact that not all that you read or see in internet is useful. Probably the most part of internet is made from who we call “trolls”. So, you have a problem to solve with that: “How to efficiently search for specific information on the web?”

And the first answer to that question that appears in my mind is the “Language”. Internet is full of searcher machine that can offer you hundreds or thousands of web sites that contains the key word. But if you want get over that, you must to learn English. It is almost the main solution for the problem. That means not just learn a few words. It means learn to think in different way that you make all the time in spanish.

The problem of language is bigger than that. There is not just one kind of english. There are many. So, to exercite on the web it look like a good beginning to communicate to the world!!

The amazing brain!

There is something special with human brain.

It´s not just about feelings. It´s about create knowledge as a model for understanding the reality.

In this way, it´s amazing how far the human kind can get. If we just stop to think about the ancient civilizations, the inventions and the tech developing in our times, we just can realize the great ability thanks to our brain. But if we think about all the abstract thought and concepts that we can imagine, in this moment you can realize about the real capacity of the human brain.

I remember when I learned about molecules. In spite of human inability to see the smallest things, we can create a model that represents the reality in a very close exactitude. It was in the XIX century when August Kekulé proposed a model for a molecule called benzene. He couldn´t see the molecule, just by the results of experiments and he´s thought, he arrived to the better structure that represents benzene. We used that structure until our days, but just a couple of years we could got a real image of structures that contains this benzene rings. Guess what: It is just like Kekulé thought! It´s amazing!

So, if we can just stop and think, and imagine about even the things that we can´t see, we will see it!

There is many things and concepts that we still use it, created by philosophers and scientists, even when are passed thousands years. Our ability to communicate each other through a precise language is just a simple example of that.

The human brain still have the ability to surprise us positively, and create and imagine for a better world!

The most enjoyable subject...: ARS SINE SCIENTIA NIHIL EST

I began to think about science when I was very Young and received my first lab kit in my birthday. 

The experiments were very basic but they look like magical tricks. And I began to think about what happened at the molecular level that could explain that magic.

When I was growing up, I learned about the discovering of the atom, and how a Greek philosopher called Democritus thought about the smallest thing in universe. It was when he realized that the smallest thing must be indivisible, which is the meaning of the word “atom”.

Thinking about this, I wonder if the different kind of interactions between the atoms and molecules can cause different kind of weather, colors in nature, even diseases in humans. And I began focussing my attention in learning how any scientist or physician study human diseases at molecular level.

At the pharmacy school I realized that my way of thinking is not far from reality. And it is very important to learn basic subjects like mathematics, physics, general chemistry, molecular biology, etc., to be able to learn more sophisticated subjects, such as pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and many others. The basic subjects are equally important for lab techniques and all lab work. That´s because I think we keep the basic principle of “ARS SINE SCIENTIA NIHIL EST”, that is: Art without knowledge is nothing.

So, I always think about the world of possibilities that we can develop with what we are learning! We just need drive and imagination.
