Changes to my study program

I have a lot of changes to do in my carrier, I am study chemistry at university of Chile and some curses need to change, for example introduction to Chemistry, because the workload is very low, I think the teachers need to do the course more practical, with more professional outings. The facilities is another thing I would like to change, because if we have a lot of classrooms, it is not so very good, and in some courses it is very full, for example general chemistry. And in that courses the communication with the professor is very difficult, because is more than one hundred people there. But the principal change i would like to do is agree more environmental curses, because nowadays the important things are not just purity and performance, in the industry a new topic is environmental pollution and how can I as a chemistry reduce that contamination. So if I can agree some course, I prefer atmospheric chemistry, soil chemistry and water chemistry, and of course the contaminatio

Marie Skłodowska Curie (7 th november 1867- 4 th july 1934) was a polish and naturalized-French Physicist and chemist  who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity Her achievements included the development of the theory of  radioactivity  (a term that she coined), techniques for isolating radioactive isotopes , and the discovery of two elements, polonium and radium. In December 1903, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences  awarded Pierre Curie, Marie Curie, and Henri Becquerel the Novel prize in Physics , "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation  phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel." Skłodowska had begun her scientific career in Paris with an investigation of the magnetic properties of various steels  and the  same year Pierre Curie  entered  her life; it was their mutual interest in natural sciences that drew them together I´m admire her because she was the first wo
