A place to visit in Santiago

Hi everyone, today's theme is a place to visit in Santiago. Even though the latter is a capital where a lot of people live and it is a rather polluted city, there places in it and around it that is worth knowing. Although for my taste I prefer natural green landscapes, this time I chose a place that is located in the commune of Quinta normal in Santiago, this is the Museum of Natural History. It´s funny because I was born in Santiago, that museum is very old, and I still don´t know it, although this city is big and there's a lot to know.

Since I was a little girl, I have been struck by this museum, because it contains and shows the history of nature in different aspects, native peoples, very old fossils, among other things. I think as people it's very important to know and understand about our history, what we are and what exists around us because that way we become more aware.

Well, so I found out the entrance for Chileans and foreigners is free and in terms of schedules, open from Monday to Saturday from 10:00-17:30, Sundays and holidays from 10:00-17:30.

I hope to be able to visit it soon and be able to live this interesting experience!

A subject I like

Well, as in every semester there are difficult bouquets and easy bouquets. This semester I am studying Diagnostic Pathology, Toxicology, Pre-Intermediate English, Diagnostic Bases, Reproductive biotechnology and Animal Behaviour. Each of them gives me knowledge and tools for the development of my degree in different areas. However, it has always caught my attention to animal ethogyology or Animal Behavior. From a long time ago, I am always observing the behavior of animals, that is, of something as everyday as the pigeon´s courtship, the whole sequence of the male towards the female up the way ants work or worm-hunting by the birds, which are typical things that can be observed in a city environment.

The field of animal ethology encompasses different species and their behaviors. Within ethology, the behaviors that animals have within their environment, whether domestic or wild, are described. I like this topic, as it is a way of understanding animals, of empathizing with them and knowing them in profunity, generating a better well-being in situations where animals are not in their natural habitat.
Animal ethology is of vital importance in Veterinary Medicine, because thanks to this we can generate best practices when we care for our patients.

What do you want to major in?


A tough question. To tell you the truth, is still have no decision that I am going to specialize, however I have concrete ideas of the things that I like and that I would like to develop later. I have always liked the area of exotic and wild animals, even as I have named in previous blogs, I have done work in wildlife rehabilitation centers, where I have been able to know, learn and integrate into the great work of this area, because it is not only the care of the animal, but the care of it´s conservation in the environment, and in this way it´s role in the ecosystem.


The area of medicine where the surgery is located has always caught my attention. I like to be able to understand why things, their origin and that way be able to generate treatment or in other cases perform surgeries. Within the specializations of medicine, you find neurology, I think it´s something that fascinates me. Understand how the brain works and develops. While in animals it is different, because thay do not function the same as humans, that is, you cannot talk about morality or ethics when it comes to animals, there are many functions of the brain that operate in the same way in animals and humans.

Gradually I will go to my way within the race, developing all those things in which I want to be good and that make me happy.

Career-related website!

If I had to choose from many of the websites that exist on the internet related to the degree, to choose Scielo. The latter is an electronic scientific library, which has many areas of knowledge. It is a scientific library that has only provided me with information not only in areas of my career, but in many other scientific areas. This virtual library is free and is available in many countries through the internet, as scientists from different areas publish their studies. So too, there is valuable information about diseases, pathogenic agents, animals, public health, among many other things related to my career.

 I believe that since I started my trolley in Veterinary Medicine, I have internalized with this website, and the information it contains is reliable, it is an official scientific page, which is part of CONICYT´s policies to promote research and disseminate results. The latter generates security when searching for information it from this website, as it is reliable by the above mentioned. Another of the characteristics that this page has is that it occupies technicalities in the language, however, the understanding of the same is easy, that's one of the things that I like the most about the page, besides that it´s free, since many times you have to have a license or pay to access scientific pages or scientific papers.

It´s a fully recommended page if you need information on any scientific them.
