Blog 1: Italy!

Imagen
 Hi! My name is Catalina and I have always wanted to visit Italy (it is one of my biggest dreams!). Italy is located in southern Europe and is a boot-shaped country (First image), which I find very nice. What I like the most about this country is its gastronomy and its beautiful landscapes, I also think that the language is very special and beautiful. The first thing I would do would be to eat some pasta and go to see the Roman Colosseum in Rome, then I would go to Venice to travel by boat and see the city, and finally I would stay a few days in Portofino to admire all its elegance and beauty. To get to Rome I need to take a plane from the Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, until I arrive at the Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Italy. The trip lasts approximately 13 hours and generally, with a stopover in Brazil. A 10-day trip with hotel and airfare would cost approximately $5,000 dollars , and I think it's totally worth it.

Blog 4: Time travel to the past!

 Hi! Personally, I would like to take a trip to the exact moment where and how life began on the planet. Since I was a child, I was very interested in science, but I was always captivated by how the universe had formed and how life on Earth began. Currently, I still don't know (I don't think I will ever know), however, I would feel very excited if I could travel back in time and see the first animals and plants and how they evolved. I would like to be able to travel and see everything in a movie, so I wouldn't have to stay in one place, I could go forward or backward. Honestly, I wish I could take a time machine right now and go traveling through time all my life. Company for a trip like this? I don't know, maybe I would like to see it in silence and solitude and be a spectator of history itself until we reach the present day. On this entire trip I would like to meet Lucy, the first Australopithecus female on record. She was a key piece in reaffirming evolution and that...

Blog 3: My dream job in the lab!

Imagen
Hi! My dream job is working in a fossil wood laboratory! I´m currently in my fourth year of Forestry Engineering at the University of Chile. It all started with the opportunity of professor assistant Magda Orrell at university. She is a wood anatomist and taught me a lot about anatomy. Then, I met Professor Teresa Torres, a Chilean paleobotanist recognized worldwide for her work with fossil woods in Chile. (Fossil wood of the Antarctica)  (Antomist and geologists in the Antarctica collecting fossil samples)  As I already knew that I liked this topic very much, I asked Professor Teresa if I could do my memory project with her and she happily answered yes. For the reason, my dream job is to follow this path little explored in the country and be part of the Chilean Antarctic Institute, which is a great promoter of fossil research. I know it's far from Santiago and my family, but it would be a dream come true. I would love to have my own laboratory with my own samples and...
