Martel beautifully uses his gallant statement coupled with the light subtleties within the novel to create a dynamic plot that is sure to please many-religious or…

Having a cytologist and a nuclear surgeon as parents I couldn’t help myself from growing up fascinated by sciences. Every time that I could I’d sneaked in my parents’ working places to see how to use a microscope, individuate bacteria on a slide, how it worked a scintigraphy and the radioactive tracer injected into the patients and so on. I loved to go with them at the hospital to look at the laboratory technicians, or to stop in the X-Ray rooms trying to figure out which part of the body there…

Biology features an array of career opportunities that can benefit anybody's future. A Biology degree offers many courses that fit any interest, or might even spark some new ones. Harvard Summer School writer Pamela Reynolds describes the different careers that can be chosen during one's studies, "Food scientists, science writers, nature conservation officers, medical lab technicians, forensic scientists, and even pharmaceutical sales representatives are all professionals who may have started…

college with a Zoology major option and pre-veterinary track. I also started to research veterinary schools, and what I would need to do in order to better my chances of getting accepted. Right away I knew I had to go to a college that offered specific classes, and I also had to start gaining veterinary experience as soon as possible. Although I was accepted to many schools for undergraduate studies, I decided to attend Humboldt State University for their amazing science department and Zoology…

Marine Biologists can work at colleges, government agencies, research laboratories, environmental organizations, aquariums, or zoos. Most Marine Biologists spend most of their time working in labs, using electron microscopes, computers, and other equipment to study organisms. They also sometimes work in offices or libraries to do research and writing papers or reports. Marine Biologists can also do some fieldwork, which sometimes involves traveling to distant or isolated locations, which can…

Yann Martel’s Life of Pi documents the life of a young man who survives 227 days adrift the vast Pacific Ocean with a tiger on a life boat. Piscine Molitar Patel (Pi for short), was a simple but bright young man who was born to an Indian family.

that he goes on to study zoology, the science that constitutes half his worldview. The other half is religion; hence, he also goes on to get a degree in theology” (Stephens). This dual combination of science and religion that Pi incorporates in his life show how Pi attempts to embrace both aspects of the spectrum. However, while on the boat with the tiger Pi realizes that God alone cannot save him from his situation, and that he must choose to utilize his knowledge in zoology rather than his…

Before doing this project, my plans after High School were to go to a College somewhere in North Carolina, and major in Zoology, Biology or Veterinary Medicine. After doing this project, I got accepted to Mars Hill University in North Carolina & will be doing my studies there in Zoology/Biology with the pre-veterinary program. The city I will most likely live in is Asheville, North Carolina but that may change because I plan on going to a different University after I get my Bachelor’s degree.…

What is referencing? This essay will be discussing about referencing. Referencing is a system usually used in academic assignments. It is essential for students as we are required to indicate the sources of our previous research which has been written in our essays, and this will be further discussed below. In spite of many different referencing systems, the focus will be ‘Harvard Referencing System’. It will be in accordance with the order to discuss the origins, uses and…
