I never thought that I would be pursuing a career as a nurse or anything in the health and science category. Ever since I was a little kid I’d always dreamed of being a fashion designer. I’d have my future laid out right in front of me. As I grew older I had realized that I had a passion for helping people. I knew I didn’t want to be a policeman or a firefighter, then while I was thinking what I wanted to be I realized nursing was an excellent choice! “Why not a doctor and just a nurse?”, people…
Introduction Fed batch and perfusion batch have been used broadly in both biopharmaceuticals for years, manufacturing many different products. The choice of using one process over the other has largely boiled down to what suits a company more in terms of what is suitable to them or their preference of one process over the other. Thus when choosing these systems it is the companies long term future that is considered rather than their short term. Fed batch and perfusion batch are the 2 most…
Michael Brooks 4/4/17 ENG 102 International Whaling Argument International whaling has a long history of being dangerous to ocean life. Many people do not realize that it is still a modern issue and has not slowed down. Certain countries like Japan and Norway have a bad reputation for the significant slaughter of whales. Factors such as low numbers and very slow reproduction rate play huge role also. This is causing an uproar in most places of…
Genetic engineering is a promising new field of science that was created in the 1970s. It involves transferring the genes of one species into another, and is mostly used for purposes such as creating proteins which can be used for medical practices. It can also create organisms that have characteristics that do not belong to their species, and the manipulation of DNA has made it a controversial topic. Many people believe that genetic engineering should not continue as we could create organisms…
Abstract: The controversy in medicinal marijuana is investigated. The research question that drives this paper is the effects of medicinal marijuana on patients, where personal view or opinion do not take part in. Both sides of the controversy were considered with most discussed topics supported by two scientific experiments for each claim. Two experiments that strengthened the claim were: an experiment on a specific tumor cell (glioma) incubated with cannabinoids, and another experiment where…
BACKGROUND We, Elizabeth, Jessica and Raina are studying Biotechnology- Forensics Advance in Fleming College. This report was prepared as an assignment for Technical Communications, as a Group Presentation Report. The report looks at the status of Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS) in Canada. Being a contemporary medical, ethical and legal issue, we found it to be an apt report topic. SCOPE This report includes the history of legalization, the current stance and the ethical perspectives…
This results in the production of a GMO. Although GMOs can technically arise from both methods, the mainstream media often regards GMOs as the product of modern biotechnology. Nevertheless, both methods present an opportunity to reach areas where supplementation and conventional fortification are difficult to implement and/or limited (World Health Organization, 2010). This seemingly cancels out the inequitable distribution…
I am a strong believer that life is a gift and it is the greatest teacher to oneself and nothing can be a better way to use it productively than the path of science. My journey started from all the way from undergraduate has been a mixture of learning from various interdisciplinary fields. The skills of experimenting and practice are the two elements of my faith which built the foundations of what I still cherish are the long hours in the laboratory of my mentor Professor P Rajeswara Rao. The…
voluntary labeling of non-GMO productsIn mid-January, the US Food and Drug Administration announced new regulations requiring biotechnology companies to consult with the FDA at least 120 days before marketing GM foods” (FDA's New Regulations Won't Allow Non-GMO, GMO-free Label). Before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration made this law, consultations were voluntary. “While biotechnology and food industry representatives praised the new regulations, consumers and environmental groups criticized…
Phase 2 – Agarose Gel Electrophoresis 1. Obtain our four H, E, L, and P labeled micro tubes and place them on ice. 2. Set the micro pipet to 2.0 ul. 3. Transfer 2.0 ul blue dye to each of the four H, E, L, and P micro tubes. 4. Mix the four micro tubes by using this two-step method: * Place each tube briefly on the vortex to get the components to collect at the bottom of the micro tubes * Pulse spin the four micro tubes in the centrifuge to mix all of the components completely. 5.…
