The Person I admire...

It may sound strange, that everyone writte about leading exponents of psycologhy, (probably see in a few blog's names like Freud or Darwin) but if someone ask me who Iadmire in the field of psychology, I have to say that is to Marcial Beltrami.

His name isn't know as a recognized exponent, but definitely made me see the Ethology from another point of view. I never had a great relationship with Biology or Natural sciences, in fact I'm hundred percent humanist, so it was a nice surprise.




He teaches the course of psychobiology in the first year in the career of psychology at the Universidad de Chile. Is an expert in ethology and Zoology, with its simple style to explain the similarities between primates and humans, captivates theirstudents and makes it very easy to understand.



Most of his studies are about primative behavior, and in the classroom relates to human behavior.  One of his studies that I like most, is one about the increase of aggressiveness in children in spring and summer.  I leave you a study about drosophila evolutive biology:  http://www.uc.cl/sw_educ/educacion/grecia/plano/html/pdfs/linea_investigacion/Otros_IOT/IOT_081.pdf

Who is Carla?

My name is Carla, I’m 19 years old, but next month I will be 20. I’m from Rancagua, and I study psychology.
Last year, I left my parents house and moved to Santiago alone, so I’m still trying to get used to live without my family.



I love music, but my biggest hobbies are movies and concerts.


I hope that this blog allows me to meet my classmates and exchange experiences and interests
