Post 10: Blogging experience

This wasn't the first time I wrote a blog, the first time was 3 years ago when I created a blog to write about my trips, then in ecology we also had to write a blog, but these two were in Spanish, I think that this experience helped me develop my written English, now I can think faster in English and write more fluently. This experience I liked a lot and it was very enriching, the topics we covered were very varied, in each post I could talk a bit about how I felt, the posts I liked the most were "A photograph you like", "My Autobiography" and free -themed posts. I think that writing a blog is a good learning tool that complements the theoretical classes efficiently, from my point of view this modality should be used in all subjects of the university because it's a way of integrating the content of subjects to knowledge . Also nowadays when someone postulates a job, the employers "gloogle" you and thanks to Blogs, they can see that we do not use the internet to publish little relevant things in social networks like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter only , we also use the Blogger platform to write academic topics or topics in other languages.

Paulina Aldunce




Paulina Aldunce is an agronomist at the Universidad de Chile and Ph.D. in Philosophy in Social Sciences and Natural Resource Management (University of Melbourne, Australia). She is a teacher at the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences of the Universidad de Chile (Department of Environmental Sciences and Renewable Natural Resources) and associate researcher of the Human Dimension line of the Center for Climate Science and Resilience (CR2) of the University of Chile.

In 2015, Paulina was present at the UN Conference on Climate Change, COP21 in Paris, where 195 countries signed an agreement (called the Paris agreement) to address climate change and develop actions to reduce carbon emissions in a resilient and sustainable way (I can’t understand how Ossandon was not aware of it).

Paulina Aldunce, participated in the working meeting of the Citizens Table on Climate Change to present the Final Evaluation of the National Action Plan for Climate Change (PANCC) 2008-2012 and the proposals for the PANCC 2016-2021.

This year she was invited as an international expert to define the contents to be included in the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This report is published every 4 years and summarizes the advances made in science from all disciplines in the field of climate change.
That's why I admire her.
