Processes and interactions of vegetative formations:

In this term, the subject I liked the most was Processes and Interactions of Plant Formations. The main teacher was Alvaro Promis. Classes were quite dense and I had to stay focused while the teacher was explaining the topics to keep in time.
What I loved of it was that this course has the aim for us to identify and analyze the processes and mechanisms (biotic and abiotic) that determine the composition, structure, ecology, distribution, diversity and dynamics of plants, mainly in forest formations. Accordingly, we will understand about ecology topics, development and productivity of plant formations, and populations and interactions in plant communities.
This was the subject that I have liked the most of all the rest because it is the only that is more oriented in work field than them. I can easily identify the topics learned by just looking any type of vegetation.
This year, we had a field trip planned by mid-september at Cerro el Roble, but for administrative reasons we could not enter, so the trip was cancelled.

Forestry Engineering

Since 2017, I’m studying Forestry Engineering at the University of Chile in the Faculty of Forestry Sciences and Nature Conservation. I was always into the biology and nature theme. I passed from wanting to be a nurse to a biology licensed with an environment mention, but never knew about this engineering. On 2015, my score on the PSU wasn’t as good as to be selected to the biology degree, so I preferred not to postulate to any career to study the next year and level up my score. But my mom, just after the online postulations were closed, made me read all the careers this university has because I needed to have more options in case I couldn’t enter the next year. While I was reading the list, I knew about the Forestry Engineering, I liked it instantly but as the online postulations were closed a few moments ago, I couldn’t enter and had to wait a year to do it. I think that as a forestry student, we have a lot of benefits, such as all the fieldwork we do since we start, and ...

Opinions

Immigration Immigration, to me, it is one of the most natural things since the living beings exists. We are always looking for better conditions to live. A place to live, get food, safety from predators, and it is pretty much the same nowadays. I think there are a lot of people that has a lot of prejudices based on misinformation and political opinions. I totally agree with immigration, but I do recognize that there’s a lack of political laws to regulate it. Chilean education I am in totally disagree with the structure, quality and how unequal the Chilean education is. Of course there are exceptions, but I think that most of the primary and secondary institutes are not giving the kids an holistic vision of the world. We are much more formed to function than to think. Legalizing marijuana and other drugs I think that to talk about drugs, we must distinguish what is a drug. A drug is considered any substance that alters the nervous system and it could be natural ...

Post-Graduate course

For a Post-Graduate course, I’d do a Master in Forest and Nature Conservation with a specialization in Ecology. If I had the chance, I’d study abroad, especially in Netherlands because it’s a country that has been doing amazing projects about protecting and conservation of its nature and animals, and it would be a part-time course to work while I study. But if I couldn’t study abroad, I’d do a Master in Wild Areas and Nature Conservation at University of Chile. I’d do one of these courses because it’d allow me to work in state and private forestry and nature conservation services, and environmental assessment agencies. I think that the high development in forestry and farming, mining and industrial has demonstrated that there’s a lack of specialists in wild areas, nature conservation and ecosystemic services since the corporations has been in trouble with the communities for extracting resources and ignoring them, while it should be the very opposite, because they use the res...
