of crew members is not a plan that is fulfilling such a task. Odysseus even questions his own decision later in this book saying, “Pity ran me through at the sight …. Questioning the passing of the strange sea” (830-832). Some would say this was his only choice. That being willing to sacrifice crew members would take courage; however, that is not my view. Odysseus is not the best example when it comes to courage, but today we have Dean Kamen. A living embodiment of courage, he is an inventor, entrepreneur, and advocate for science and technology (Dean 1) With over 440 U.S. and foreign patents (Dean 1), he is one of today’s greatest minds. He founded three companies to market his inventions and ideals: AutoSyringe, DEKA, and FIRST (Dean 1). Both AutoSyringe and DEKA are working to revolutionize medical advancements while FIRST is Kamen’s way to get the next generation involved in science and technology (Dean 1). Being involved in FIRST has given me an idea of this mans impact on modern society. Kamen said that FIRST came into being because this country’s children do not receive the education that they need (Bill 1). In his blog on The Huffington Post after his interview with Kamen, Bill Robinson said, “How intriguing, I thought to myself that this man sees it as his “job” to fix the education system … by himself if necessary” (Bill 1). Kamen wants to better the world (Bill 1), and his plan for the future, to educate the world, is what makes him courageous. His passion to make…

of treating nervous system and brain diseases and creating new ways to understand the brain. Neural Engineering and neuroscience can help advance the Grand Challenge of “Engineering Tools for Scientific Discovery” by enhancing the very thing we use to think and learn with everyday. By technologically advancing our brain we can discover more and more about our world, and all in all be more inventive as a species.

Gregory D: Client shared with the group that he knows Mike S. already and has gotten a job offer at Ametek where he will be machining metal parts starting at 18.00/hour. Ultimately, he would like to get rehired at Deka and mentions that 6/16/18 will be 2 years since he was let go and can then reapply. Beginning with an unclear concept of the difference between Spirituality and Religion, he believes he now understands, but finds spiritual things to be “hokey” and states that perhaps aliens are…

You wake up, pull yourself out of bed, have a bit of breakfast, run for the bus to school and complain about being tired. Now picture waking up at 5:00 am every morning to walk a mile to collect three ten litre cans of water and then trek home again. Sounds dreadful?

He is only 11 years old, and ever since the death of his father 5 years ago, when Howard was just 6 years old he has had to travel miles to…

separated by a cation specific membrane. A membrane is a very thin, flexible, and porous wall that is located around the cytoplasm of a cell which regulates what goes in and out of the cell, and one that is cation specific is one that only lets the positive ions, or protons, through. In the anode compartment, carbon dioxide (CO2), electrons, and protons are all generated through fuel being oxidized by microorganisms. The protons are transferred to the cathode compartment through the cell’s…
