I had heard it dozens of times, “Anxiety is normal, you’ll get over it.” That was not my case. Anxiety was not something that I could just “get over.” It was consuming. My every thought set me on edge. Was it normal to shake and panic at the lunch table when no one had said anything to me? Was it normal to be terrified to leave my house because I was afraid that I could not control my anxiety? It was not normal, but I had no idea. By the time I was 15, I had been struggling with anxiety for…

studying and saw herself as a “good student” (CBB par.8). She wanted to pursue a career in chemistry, even though it was difficult for women to achieve this in the 1940’s. Daly continued her education in biochemistry even further when she attended Columbia University to earn her doctorate in biochemistry in 1948 while still tutoring at Queens College. This is when Daly made history. She was the first African American woman to earn a doctorate in…

Many people long believed that eating disorders were old news, that no one currently had an eating disorder. They were wrong. Research showed that thirty million people in the United States alone suffer from eating disorders (National Association for Anorexia Nervosa And Associated Disorders [NAANAD]). Understanding the causes and treatments is vital to understanding eating disorders and how to assist a person who suffers from an eating disorder. Understanding the causes and treatment are key…

my interests. Using molecular biology and chemical processes, assisting in determining what mechanism is used to how phosphorylated PA phosphatase would allow me to learn both new lab techniques and new concepts in the fields of microbiology and biochemistry. My interests in food science have always been with either food microbiology or food chemistry with some interest in sensory science. I hope to explore all of these fields of food science during my time here at Rutgers to aid me in finding…

The Blooding The Blooding, written in 1989 by Joseph Wambaugh, relates the story of a two English girls brutally raped and strangled three years apart in the 1980’s. The novel follows the investigation of the Narborough murder and how the discovery of a new forensic technique was vital to solving the case and finding the killer. This discovery of genetic fingerprinting by Alec Jeffreys during the time of this investigation revolutionized the world of forensic science. The novel begins by…

The biological model suggests that mental illnesses have a physical cause, for example, an illness which could have been caused by an infection, genes, brain biochemistry or neuroanatomy (Cardwell and Flanagan, 2005). Bacterial and viral infections can damage the brain, resulting in a malfunction. An example of this is general paralysis of the insane, which is a neuropsychiatric disorder caused by a sexually transmitted infection called syphilis. Brown et al., (2000) discovered a link between…

To obtain the best results with these methods they must be continually questioned and debated by new research to validate its effectiveness, efficiency, accessibility and quality 1. Basic research in biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology provides an infinite amount of data and knowledge. Applied research uses that information to understand the pathophysiology of diseases of patients. The research based on animal models to explain different types…

with me before I graduate. Tim Bradford explained to me that the biology electives were “flexible” and that there were lots of options to take for them, which made sense and is partially true. However, he advised me to take medical vocabulary and biochemistry, a total of 6 hours, that he said could be counted towards my biology specific electives under major requirements. He explained to me that many students did this and that he would get it all sorted out for me, especially since I was in the…

Pharmacist is defined as healthcare professional whose job is to prepare and sell the drugs and medicines that a doctor prescribes for patients. Some aspects of pharmacy has been, constant- unchanged over a long time period of time. The first college of pharmacy in the United States was founded in 1821 as the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Many colleges followed after. No information was found about the establishment of the first pharmacy school in Mexico. Currently, there is eleven…

The last biochemistry subject that I took was from 2009 at the university that I was enrolled in. I admit that I am a bit rusty when it comes to these problems, but biochemistry is one of my strongest subjects. It is a challenge, but I love it. During the introduction of chapters one and two, it refreshed my memory, but I notice that some of…
