their lives to find answers in science and medicine. The biographies in this book display a collection of experiments these scientists performed on themselves. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, scientists Lazzaro Spalanzami, Pierre and Marie Curie, John and Jack Haldane, and others exposed themselves to disease, gas, pressure, heat, and injected probes into their hearts. Because of their efforts and self-experiments, today we have access to information and medicine that otherwise we…

because the women force their religious standards onto her. When the new regime closes the universities down, Marji says she wanted to “be an educated, liberated woman” and study chemistry because “[she] wanted to be like Marie Curie” but then proclaims “at the age that Marie Curie first went to France, [Marji will] probably have ten children” (Satrapi 73). Marji’s reaction towards the new regime demonstrates that she feels forced into traditional female roles and cannot achieve her dreams. This…

During the time period of World War 1 many inventions were created. Most of these inventions helped soldiers when injured or during the fighting. Many were created in different countries, but then shortly became popular throughout the world. According to this website American born inventor and chemist Hudson Maxim once said, “Doubt is often better than overconfidence, for it leads to inquiry, and inquiry leads to invention”(www.quotabl.es.com). Hudson created varies explosives including…

Do magnets have prefered working temperatures? From electronic devices to letters on the refrigerator, magnets exist in almost every room at home, in school, and in the workplace. Some magnets are used as sorters, memory storage, or even just to hang things on the fridge. Yet, how much is even known about these magnets and what they do? Has anyone ever wondered if these magnets have prefered working conditions, like temperature? Or if they work better in hot or cold environments? “In ancient…

doubt were interconnected in the manner that they both can prevent one from attempting something new, even something as important as saving a life. The poem helped me infer that one could be made fun of due to his or her fear. From the quote by Marie Curie,…

Matthew Malin Professor Katie Friedman English 100 25 September 2014 A Curriculum For the Twenty-First Century When I was in high school, I knew a girl named Madeline. Madeline was the essence of a perfect child. Like many of your daughters, Madeline never got into trouble. Madeline was a model student and she even played varsity field hockey. Like many bright young girls, Madeline aimed for the stars. Her dream after high school was to become a forensic pathologist. One afternoon Madeline…

not if deafened. He theorized that bats could hear something we couldn’t. Then Christian Doppler in 1842 created the Doppler Effect, which is when a source of wave motion moves, the wave changes let off apparent frequency. In 1880 Jacque and Pierre Curie used the piezoelectric…

power is not a possession, rather, it is the relationship between entities that determines knowledge and discourse to constitute society and our individual identities. We can direct power and influence it, but we can never take it as solely ours. Curie was able to take the power that was solely available to men and molded it in the direction she wanted it. She discovered…

The primary test showing of an association between naturally visible piezoelectric marvels and crystallographic structure was distributed in 1880 by Pierre and Jacques Curie. Their analysis comprised of a decisive estimation of surface charges showing up on extraordinarily arranged precious stones (tourmaline, quartz, topaz, natural sweetener and Rochelle salt among them) which were subjected to mechanical anxiety. These outcomes were a sound representative for the Curies ' creative ability and…

Looking at information in new ways can pave the way for progress by using new scientific discoveries, different ideas, and learning from the scientists in the past. First we can see information in new ways by using scientific discovery. Marie Curie discovered two new elements by using something called pitchblende which was just created with scientific discovery. She looked at this pitchblende in many new ways before she discovered polonium and radium. She discovered these elements by looking…
