Introduction
Hello, my name is Stephanie
Rosario Garrido. I am student of Natural Sciences with major in Chemistry at
the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey. I created this blog as part of an
assignment in my English class. Basically, I have to share information about
the field that I am studying. So, I am very happy to share information about
what is chemistry, why is important have knowledge about chemistry, latest news
and others.
Chemistry Around Us is the title of
this blog and I named like that because I am member of the American Chemistry
Society and as members we say: “Chemistry
is not limited to beakers and laboratories. It is all around us, and the better
we know chemistry, the better we know our world.”-ACS
I want to add to the quote
that chemistry is not only about the elements or the periodic table. Everything
around us including ourselves involves chemistry. Even our five senses that are
to hear, see, taste, and touch all involve a series of chemical reactions into
our bodies. For that reason it is essential to know about chemistry and with
this way we can understand how works our body and the world around us. My
purpose with this blog is not only share information that you cannot understand
or you do not like it or bores you. I want to catch your attention even the
chemistry does not like or if you like it I want you to reflect about the news and
share it with your social cycle. At the end, you will able to understand better
all that the chemistry implies and as I said before if you know about
chemistry, then the better you know about the world in where you live.
Now, I invite you to see the
video or go to the web page in the section references. If you have information
to share or questions, let me know!! To me is important be in contact and share
knowledge to maintain the world informed.
Thank you very much, see you next week!!
-Stephanie Rosario Garrido
