 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...
