Inglés 4 - Valentina Ortiz

Some time ago I was interested in learning about women scientists from the past and in getting to know some of the present. I am interested in this because the natural sciences are an area where there is a lot of machismo and in school when they talked about science they only showed us male references. Hard sciences such as mathematics is one of the areas most often linked to men and it is for this reason that today I will talk about Ada Lovelace , the first woman programmer in history.  Ada was born in 1815 in England and since she was a girl she studied mathematics, driven by her mother. When he grew up he studied at the University of England and met Charles Babbage who designed an analytical machine that worked with the same principles that computers later worked on. Ada collaborated with him and invented the first alogaritmo to be processed. Thus it became the first that created a language for programming.  Ada was not only dedicated to mathem...

I'm still not really sure of the graduate studies I'd like to pursue because I've been worried about finishing my career. Although I think it's a topic that should start worrying me.  The problem is that I like many areas of journalism and that is why it is difficult for me to decide what I would like to specialize in. But in the last time I have thought about studying Data Journalism.  It is a type of journalism in which large amounts of data are analyzed (Big Data) and statistical methods are used to draw conclusions to create news.  To learn data journalism it is necessary to learn programming, mathematics and statistics.  Although it is a very difficult area, I really like it a lot. Data journalism is a very rigorous journalism and serves to find out things like political corruption or the crisis of the church.  For example in the film Spotlight use this method for journalistic investigation.  In Chile this area is not developed but I ...

I would like to work as a journalist in a written medium such as a newspaper or a magazine. I would love to write about culture or science, that although it seem very different topics are the things that interest me. The chilean media that interests me are those that are linked to the Copesa company, namely the newspaper La Tercera, the magazine Qué Pasa or the magazine Paula. It really does not bother me to be in an office writing, in fact it's something that I like. Although of course I would like to go out and report to cultural spaces or scientific conferences. Regarding salary, I do not expect to earn a lot of money, since the journalists do not usually earn high salaries. It's something I knew since I started studying this career and it does not really worry me that much. I mean, I do not want to be a millionaire, I just want to have enough money to survive. In addition, journalism really impassions me so my work would make me happy. I would like perhaps to study a speci...
