Paracelso, a pioneer for his time

Hello everyone! It was not easy to choose a topic to talk about, but finally I decided to talk about Paracelso, a very famous character in the field of chemistry and pharmacy, because he was a pioneer for his time. He was born in Switzerland in 1493, and was an alchemist, doctor and astrologer, and he is known how the father of chemistry and pharmacy.
When Paracelso was alive, he was a pioneer in the field of the homeopathy, a practice that says that a substance that in high concentration in our organism can be so dangerous, and that the same substance in low concentration can be used to treat a pathologuies. The homeopathy nowadays is a very big field in chemistry and pharmacy, although so many people say that homeopathy is not a safe method for the cure of diseases. 
Although Paracelso was a pioneer, he did some bad things, like to treat the people with syphilis with mercury; and they died for intoxication finally; I don’t admire Paracelso because things like that obviously, but I think that he was a so important character for all his contributions in the field of medicine on his time.

My favorite picture  Hello everyone! It was not easy to choose my favorite picture, because there are so many pictures that are so important for me. The picture is a selfie with my best friend Katherinne, was taken by her in 2016, when I went to visit her. When the picture was taken me and  my friend were in a little park, and we used to got together, but now it´s so difficult to have time to talk in person with her, because like me she is of the VI region, and since the last year we just go out together in vacations. Since I move to Santiago to study in the university, I have no time to go out with my old friends, but is so nice to know that I'm still having their support and friendship like the old times, for that reason this picture is so important for me, moreover the picture was taken in the country, and I love the serenity and beauty of that place.

Hello everyone! This year I’m coursing the third semester of my career, chemistry and pharmacy. This semester has been so difficult for me, because obviously, the degree of difficulty is increasing semester to semester. I think that 2018 has gone by very fast, practically in just four months the year will finished! Incredible. This year I confirmed that chemistry and pharmacy is the career that I love. Sometimes, I miss my friends and family when I’m stay in Santiago for the university (I’m from the sixth region), but now I´m so happy because I will be able to meet with my friends and family. Cellular physiology has been a so difficult topic for me, but I managed to pass that course. My achievements this year? I don’t know if I made great achievements this year, but I think learning so many interesting things this semester was an achievement for me. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to study this wonderful career, also I’m so grateful to had been met new friends in the universi...
