  The youtube channel of "putomikel" is that of a Spanish archaeologist who is mainly dedicated to the dissemination of history with a touch of humour which gives the channel a very unique identity. Another characteristic of the channel is its gender perspective, in which it speaks as it often does due to the traditional viewpoint that we often overlook. Another section that also draws attention was when he began the quarantine made a series of videos in which he addressed the issue of ancient pandemics that have occurred in the world. Within his videos we can also find a section in which he often debunks myths about certain societies, groups or cultures of the past. I visit his channel every time he uploads a new video, which is usually about twice a month.

My favourite piece of technology

I have had it for about a year and it was a Christmas present from my boyfriend. I usually use it to sleep or to relax when I have stress by hugging it.

I really like this object since it is big and very fluffy, besides having a very adorable cat shape. Although in my life it would not be extremely necessary, it is very nice to have it as it reminds me of my partner and it is also very helpful during the pandemic or the beginning of this complex university process.

Why did you choose this career?

 Hi! I am María Paz Chebi Saavedra and as a child I wanted to work as a ballet dancer or violinist, but then I left it for other hobbies.   When I grew up I began to think about other possibilities, I always knew that I was a "humanist" I thought about studying psychology, pedagogy in history, journalism, etc. I ended up deciding archeology, so I took a career in anthropology and then specialized.   So far the university has brought me a lot of varied experiences from both teachers and peers. I haven't met anyone I can call my friend, but there is no one I have a bad relationship with.   I would like to work helping with the preservation of our heritage, helping to teach the importance of the diverse cultures that lived in Chile, this would be preferable for me rather than staying in an academic environment.
