post 6 - two topics (sofia infante)

 The person I admire the most is Marie Curie. She was a polish physicist and chemist married with Pierre Curie that lived her whole life in Paris. She studied clandestinely in the University of Varsovia and started her scientific background in said city. I admire her because she was the first person in receive two Nobel prizes in different specialties (Physics and chemistry), but beyond her achievements I admire her for being one of the first female pioneers in chemistry, that fought for recognition of her discoveries and also for winning her place in a field of knowledge occupied mainly by men since at that time in which she lived women didn't have rights, and much less a woman could study. The contribution of this scientist was the discovery of the radioactivity of some elements in the periodic table and the elements Radium and Polonium, which remain in the periodic table to this day.

Post 5 "How can your major make the world a better place" - SOFIA INFANTE

  I study Chemistry at the University of Chile, when I decided to choose this major, in addition to make me happy and being what I´d like to work for when I reach an adult life, I found that with this career I could contribute to science in my country and on the world. As is well known, in Chile careers related to specific sciences, such as biology, physics or chemistry itself, found a new challenge where I was able to discover that with my knowledge I can contribute with new inventions to the world of chemistry, also to be able to work in pharmacies, with new ideas and desire to make a better world in which the current generations live and the new ones that are to come, that is why with my career I want to contribute to the field of medicine, the field of research, among other fields of knowledge little recognized by most people.
