  1. Wow! Your academic career is really interesting, but I got a little bit lost: you began studying Psychology, but, now that you are in the faculty of Medicine,what are you studying? What is the oficial name of your Ph.D.?
    Another question: Do you feel or believe that there is a relation between your musical activities and your academic career?, or are completely separated activities?
    If you allow me, I want to make a comment about the structure of your text: Yo do not use period to separate sentences, only comas, so it is difficult to follow the ideas you are expressing.

  2. Yes! I started studying psychology and after I came to the faculty of medicine in order to study the Ph.D in biomedical sciences . I don't think that there is a relation between my activities but I enjoyed doing both things.

    Thanks for the comments :D
