To be truly happy it is important to surround yourself with others who truly love you and to most importantly love yourself. I believe in always…

testing has been used for years to improve our lives, but many people believe it is cruel and inhumane. These people are commonly known as animal rights activists, but they’ve also been called antivivisectionists. Vivisection literally means “the dissection or cutting of a live animal”.

Weekly Self S.O.A.P - A. S- Discuss your SUBJECTIVE feelings for this week. This week I was assigned to be in the ICU. To say that I expected to be busy is an understatement.

The fragile state in which these patients find themselves was hard for me to see, it was actually a bit overwhelming the first day. The second day was slightly easier, at first.…

Background and need: During embryo development many factors can determine the future outcome and growth of developing embryo. These factors, whether genetic or environmental, will influence the cells within the embryo and could result in a lasting developmental abnormality, such as unwanted apoptosis. Ethanol, a known teratogen, is one such unorthodox environmental factor that if present will have an effect on the embryo’s development; namely defects in the cardiovascular system, structural…

Cancer is a serious cause of death globally. Cancerous cells cannot be distinguished easily from the normal cells. Rapid development of cancerous cells depends on the process of Angiogenesis. Inhibition of the angiogenesis is a novel strategy in cancer treatment. Currently, herbal medicines are also being used, along with chemotherapy to reduce the side effects. For the present study, Neem was selected as it is a versatile tree in India. From the ancient times it has been considered as a mighty…

It presented a careful examination of the individual organs and general structure of the human body. Vesalius’s discovered Galen’s errors about the human body. Vesalius discovered that the great blood vessels originated from heat instead of the…

reflective sheets, we purchased for only $0.35 per sheet, increased our reflectivity by .2. For our team dynamics we wished we would have built and tested our oven earlier, so we could have made more adjustments. We also wished we could have complete the dissection of our ovens, so we could have noticed our mistake of going over 1000 cm3 for the volume of our inside chamber and seen other effective strategies that other teams did to incorporate in our solar…

Standardized testing has been a common practice in all classrooms across America and many overseas. It’s a process all too familiar with students and teachers. But what are these challenging tests out to prove? Some say that standardized tests are a proper evaluation of the students’ knowledge and the teachers’ ability; however, studies have shown that these stress filled tests have gone way too far. According to Berliner in his writings of the Cambridge Journal of Education, standardized tests…
