I really love what I do. But my story is just beginning. In fact, it fits in a small measuring flask:
I started my undergraduate studies
in Environmental
Chemistry in 2009,
and since 2011 I’m
convinced to devote
myself to scientific
research. That year
I discovered my love
for Physical Chemistry
and now I know how to
mix it with Environmental Sciences,
Chaotic systems, Uncerntainty and Philosophy
of
Theories, Models and Representations in Sciences
(yes, it may sound strange at first, but they are intimately
connected). In addition, my experiences in the “Universidad
Metropolitana de Ciencias de la Educación” gave me new visions
about the great
job of teachers, and how to transmit my knowledge
to the next generations of
scientists.
The work of Environmental Chemists involve outdoor work (e.g.
sampling under field conditions, participation in conferences) and
indoor work
(e.g. theoretical and experimental procedures), so I
will travel a lot in and
out of Chile.
I don’t think about salary, because I think if I love
my job, I will do it well and I will motivate other
people to work in the same,
with their own
approaches and interests.
At present, I’m a Master of Chemical Sciences, and I’m studying
a PhD in Chemistry. In the future, I hope to use my knowledge to improve the social conditions
of people in vulnerability situations, maybe focused on environmental racism and contributions to local knowledge and interest (e.g. Chemistry in prehispanic civilizations)
Congratulations for what you have achieved! And the most imortant part is your contribution to society and the integration of different fields of knowledge.
ResponderEliminarAngelo, I think your vision about science is very deep. Among all your description I would highlight the concept of "environmental racism". I hadn't heard abuout it. Thanks for your reflections.
