Grow through what you go through ✨

I'm back! You're going to be reading a whole lot more from me. Starting with the news that I am a plant nursery owner! 💁🏻‍♀️ Follow me on insta @manosdetierrra if you wanna see some cool pics & tricks on how to take care of plants🌵🤎

That time when I needed to study for a test that was about my complete science degree (it's a test that's taken nationally) and I started studying less than a week before. 😳 Not a fun time, but I got a really good grade. I'm allowed to brag sometimes, don't judge me 😂

That time when I synthesized acetylsalicylic acid crystals in the lab. 🤯💁🏻‍♀️👩🏻‍🔬🧡

You guys, check out my blog theemworld.wordpress.com I talk about girls in #STEM and I gave out a recipe for brownies (explaining the science behind it of course).

You guys, guess what? I created a blog 🤯 I'm no expert or anything, but I'll be writing my thoughts and experiences down there if you wanna check that out.

Of course it's related to science and feminism and all that good stuff. 🙌🏼

The M World.

Welcome to the M world. First time blogger, full-time scientist, avid feminist, amateur baker & semi-pro bellydancer. About me... Hi, if the

Analytical chemistry, baby.

I don't know if you've ever had one of those subjects that you just don't get but you can't identify why... Well, for me it was this right here, I honestly wanted to love it but I couldn't until I realized it was because of the Dr imparting it.. Let me say, that woman made me cry a lot, once even in the classroom. I guess that's why I have love-hate relationship with analytical chem.

Aminoacid metabolism.

Ooh baby, biochem is my favorite thing ever. 🖤 This class showed me what I really wanna do and where I wanna go.

Some of the gorgeousness I’ve seen this semester. 💚💙💛❤️

These are some oldies from my pharmacognosy lab. Pharmacognosy is the branch of pharmacy that studies plants as a possible source for drugs.

You get to do many many chemical tests on your plants and identify if they got alkaloids, flavones, tannins, saponins, etc. These here are from valerian root (Valeriana officinalis), which can help with insomnia and anxiety, as it is a sedative, but beware, the smell is too strong. We were actually almost banned from the lab bc of how smelly this thing was 😂

Its exact mechanism of action remains unknown, but it's possible that it increases the amount of GABA avaliable in the synaptic cleft. In addition, valeneric acid inhibits an enzyme that destroys GABA.

shit i’ve heard chemistry majors say

- *student in a lab coat, cutting in the cafeteria line* YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND I DON’T HAVE A LOT OF TIME MY EXPERIMENT IS GOING TO CATCH FIREEEE

- *loud pop*    student, in very calm voice: well that was painful

- lab assistant, seeing me frantically pulling on gloves: oh no. what did you do now

- professor: come on guys, don’t hate on social sciences majors… it’s not their fault they were born this way

- so i was grading your tests last night. i wanted to kill someone.

- you have five minutes until the end of class to finish the test. but i want to go outside for a smoke, so three

- *section of lab report titled “applications of compound”* i heard that a drug cartel used it to dissolve bodies, should i list that?

- “i’m synthesizing this compound in my next lab class, what kind of stuff effects the success rate and yield?” “dunno man, it depends on your karma”

- based on my recent lab assignments, i have come to the conclusion that the professor wants me to get killed

- dude, Fehling’s solution contains glucose, what if it tastes like lemonade?   *proceeds to dip finger in and lick it*   well that was a disappointment. the potassium hydroxide makes it kinda bitter.

- professor: you’ll understand this concept in your fifth year   student: sir, this is a four-year program   professor: oh, then never

Been there, done that. Never gets old, tho. 😂

Them zebrafish cuties. (Danio rerio) 🦓🐟

Did you know, these kids are model organisms in research because of how fast they breed, the fact that they're transparent and you can easily see changes in their anatomy and because they share 70% of genes with humans, also, we share lots of diseases. 🙌🏼
