My experience making the herbarium

Hi, guys!! I hope your weekend has been incredible!

Today to talk about how my experience was making the Herbarium.  

The truth the Herbarium did it the year 2012, long long time ago in that moment the teacher asked us to deliver a herbarium with 15 exotic species 15 native species but it asked certain requirements such as: it could not collect samples from the campus" Antumapu"seams of samples should also be very orderly, species collected in spring were with flowers and if any had fruit, with its respective fruit.

I really didn't know where out species so we gather a group of friends and went to the cerro San Cristobal there we collect the most species but the bad thing was that even we didn't recognize the species.

To be able to recognize them please help our oldest fellow of the University, and some professors of the faculty. We much delay to complete, approximately 3 months, since after collecting the species you have to make a special drying where the species must be wrapped in newspaper and also put in a pressing machine  so that in the future not be you loss, when already they are dry.

I proceeded to recognize the species and then the last step is to boil the species in a carton and glue a sheet indicating the name of the place where it was collected, the species name and the person who collected it.

Actually for me was not a very pleasant experience, since it is much time dedicated to present each species in good condition and hate sew plant by plant, but must rescue the good and that you helped me lot to learn to recognize species both native as exotic  that exist in our country I hope not having bored.

Postgraduate Studies.

Hi, guys! It's Friday! I hope you had a good week.  

Today talk them about graduate University that I would like to study in the future.  First I will say that I have no intentions to live in Santiago after the end of my career, my intentions are to go to Brazil to live and study something related to the vegetation present in the Amazon, basically to studying something that has relationship with the conservation of the native forests of the country since it is being threatened by mining, ranching and the construction of hydroelectric power plants and transportation routes.

I'd like to have a schedule that is flexible with the application you are working, because my idea is to go to live alone and "try your luck", and another thing that I would love would be that the University is close to the place where you live. Studying a postgraduate course can be very expensive, so I want to apply for a scholarship you subsidize my studies either the workplace I facilitate and provide me the opportunity to continue studying.

The purpose of studying a master's degree is to develop more as a professional, as well as improve myself on the subject, know the differences in species of trees that exist on that side of the world in addition to competition, allowing me to work and earn enough money to settle in the country. The only thing that would prevent me or would be a limiting factor is the risk which means to study in another country, and more Brazil which is a vast country with a culture and a different language.

My future job

Hi everyone:

I think that all the things that we do in the present are essential for our future. So in this post I will talk about the expectation that I have about my future. 

I have taken at the university the ecology major. I chosen this major because I think that it’s important understand the functioning of the ecosystem and then we will be able manage and save our ecosystem, that as we know, have be under threat because of the humans. 

So for this, in the future I would like have a job related with the conservation and the management of the nature. 

For example in a forest corporation like CONAF or making studies about different topics like the impacts of the humans in the ecosystem, the characterization of some ecosystem or helping to prevent the extinction of some endangered species. 

Choosing a work I would consider different aspect like the atmosphere in the work, the kind of persons with I will work and the importance of the work that I will make. 

In this work I hope to travel around Chile, knowing the different forests of Chile, I don't care much money which could win but the experience which means to learn more about the ecology of our country.

Bye Bye!
