On October 31, 2017, at 4:00 pm, I attended the Department of Biology Seminar Series hosted by Dr. Richard Gomer that helped in the Biological Sciences Building East, Room 115. The lecturer was Dr. Carolyn Cannon from the Department of Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunology at the College of Medicine TAMHSC. What intrigued me to go to this lecture was the title, “Wolves in Sheep's Clothing: Killing Bacterial Pathogens with Innocuous Compounds. Surprisingly the title did match the content that Dr. Cannon was conveying to her audience.
As I entered the lecture room, it was quite hilarious to see the presenter, Dr. Cannon, in a wolf costume. The costume went well with the lecture and the fact that it was Halloween then. She began with talking

    Dire Wolf Research Paper

    The dire wolf, or Canis dirus, is a wolf that lived during the Pleistocene Epoch (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago) and became extinct between 10,000 to 16,000 years ago during the ice age. It was native to North America and thousands of Dire Wolf skeletons were found and stored in La Brea tar pits in southern California, where it is believed to be the most common mammal in the area. Remains of the Dire wolf have also been found across a broad range of habitats in North America, which include the plains, grasslands, and some mountain areas in North America, and the savannah of South America. The average height in elevation is 7,400 feet above sea level (The Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica). In the United States, dire wolf fossils have been…

    American Biological Warfare In 1763

    How American Biological Warfare Began in 1763 Biological warfare might appear as a notion straight out of fiction novels such as, “Project Blue” from Stephen King’s The Stand, or the plague, “Pale Mare” from George R. R. Martin’s A Dance With Dragons, but in America, it is a concept that has been utilized since the denouement of The French and Indian War. Although, in American history, the year 1763 is often associated with the conclusion of the Seven Years’ War and the conception of Pontiac’s Rebellion, it also marked America’s first ever recorded use of germ warfare, which went on to change how war was conducted in America forever. Despite the end of the French and Indian War on February 10th, 1763 with the Treaty of Paris, four months later,…

    Megan Hoffman The truth and importance of Gray Wolves Even under protective laws, Gray Wolves are still being killed! Although people tend to look down on wolves in general, it does not mean it's for good reason or acceptable. There is more to any creature then meets the eye, and for Wolves it is especially so. Gray Wolves are of a greater benefit then what we give them credit for and are often mistreated or otherwise viewed as something unwanted, unneeded, and ill-received. The Gray Wolf species has long been damned and slaughtered for minuscule infractions and illusions of identity despite how they are unlike their fabled counterparts, are viewed as "Spiritual brothers" by some Native Americans (Swinburne 10), and are beneficial to their…

    Research Paper On The Gray Wolf

    In the 1930's, The gray wolf (Canis lupus) was eliminated from Yellowstone National Park. Nearly 50 years later, the gray wolf was listed as an endangered species.

Although Wind-Wolf is educated in areas concerning his heritage, the skills he needs to be on the same level as his classmates are not there.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Biological Warfare

    Biological warfare, despite it’s modern sounding name, has been the world’s cheapest and most effective method of widespread killing for centuries, and reports of countries utilizing disease as a weapon date all the way back to the 1100s (and perhaps even beyond written record). Although ancient in origin, that does not mean the threat of widespread, virus-induced destruction is no longer a threat for the United States-- and the world as a whole. Treaties have been signed by all the major players in the game of biochemical weapons, including the U.S., Russia, and Japan. However, while the majority of the world frowns upon the use of pathogens as weapons, this negative attitude has done nothing to slow the progression or the amount of research…

    T2 Bacteriophage

    In the 1920s and 1930s, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union began to utilize phages to treat bacterial infections, realizing that they had the potential to kill harmful viruses. Though the use of bacteriophages to treat infections has diminished since the creation of antibiotics, antibiotic resistant illnesses are causing scientists to begin reexamining the potential medical applications for phages. In addition to their usefulness in the healthcare industry, bacteriophages are also known for their ability to kill pathogens on foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Finally, phages may also assist in ending the threat of bioterrorism in the world, as scientists have begun to discover some which destroy harmful strains of anthrax (Black & Black, 2015). Overall, bacteriophages are highly useful, and their many applications should be studied in greater detail in order to increase their effectiveness in the world…
