 Hello everyone In my case, I would travel to the time when humans met another intelligent species. I don't know exactly how far in the future this will happen, but I would be very happy to see that first contact. It could be twenty or sixty or a hundred years from now, or maybe a few thousand years from now. I love to imagine how the exchange of culture, science and knowledge takes place, I think it would be very similar to what we saw in Carl Sagan's movie "contact", where these beings that evolved over thousands or millions of years, give them a lesson on how small and big we humans are in the universe, being one species joining many more. I would stay in that era, at least a few years, learning all I can, being a curious person, I can't help but dream of the wonders I would understand and know. Of course, considering the great advances in science that would occur thrills me to no end. I feel that both our species and "theirs" would have so much to te...

In the future I would like to be a great researcher in neuroscience and education. I am interested in these two disciplines, since their approach is oriented to improve learning. To achieve this, one of the best tools that our species has been able to create, science, is used.  I envision, in the future, doing a practical intervention in low-income schools, teaching the fundamentals of the scientific method, giving presentations and helping to train the future researchers of tomorrow. To reach my goal, I need to complete undergraduate and graduate degrees. Taking advantage of opportunities to learn to investigate.  I hope that thanks to small changes in the way of teaching and with the opportune time it will be possible to improve teaching in our country, that they learn the scientific method from an early age, that they decide to pursue a career in science and that they are truly prepared for life and all their difficulties. I would love to travel to other countries, meet ot...

Post 4: Free themed topic.  One of the best series I have seen is "bones". Released in 2005 by Fox. The story follows forensic anthropologist Temperance Brenan and her team of scientists, who together with the FBI successfully solve murders.   I really like this series, because it considers the real method of science and is a great way to spread it. I think part of the reason I'm studying social science today is because of this series. I feel sad to know that today we are still denied the possibility of being scientists, that despite the globalization of information, the right to learn what we like is still being taken away from us. Little treasures like this series, manage to awaken the interest of the younger generations. They are gifts for the future, as Carl Sagan said in his book Cosmos: "Curious children are the most important resource that countries have." They will be the scientists of the future. "Cosmos", "bones", "inters...

  My profession is called Psychology, it is extremely entertaining, fun and relevant. It has many areas where you can work, whether in clinical, research or education, so there are possibilities for all tastes.  It is a discipline that allows us to get to know others and ourselves better, to know the causes and reasons for actions, to understand the diseases that are in the person and to be able to solve problems.  I chose this career seeking to understand how do you learn? What makes one person so different from another? How can you help others go this far? How to bring science closer to people? I am very interested in teaching and in the future I would like to contribute to the improvement of Chilean education, to make it similar to the from Finland, where the entire population can use the most of their cognitive capital, where everyone can access a good education, where those who want can be scientists. For this I want to use tools from my discipline. Be a researcher, ...

For me, one of the best vacations was the one I took about 3 years ago. I traveled to a beach called "green lagoon" for a week with my best friend and some friends she knew.     We swim, we talked, we played a lot of board games, and we drank a little.   Although I think it was one of the best trips, it does not exceed by much others on my list that are at the same level, what stands out about this one in particular is that it was a trip only with friends, without family. Besides being one of the first parties I attended in my life, that's why I had a lot of fun. I would very much like to repeat a trip with friends, either to the beach or the lake, especially now that we are finishing the race. Well, this will be until the end of the pandemic and a certain state of normalcy is returned, remembering that it is important to protect our health and that of our family members.

  There are many countries that I would like to visit, but the main one is Finland. Since it is considered a world reference in education. It has included a new teaching methodology, which has made it one of the nations with the best students in the world.   I know it is a beautiful country. That it has many rivers, lakes, that it rains constantly and that it is always in winter. Which makes it a very nice place for me.       I would like to go study and learn all I can about teaching. So that in the future he can be a great researcher and university teacher, who applies his refined and innovative techniques in our country. And that it can help to modify the way we teach in Chile, so that every student has the opportunity to learn what they like.     I know that to achieve my dream, I need to learn English and study as much as possible here in Chile first.
