Wendy Chung, a human geneticist utilizes the rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos to better explain what autism is. Chung is a certified clinical geneticist who has a PhD in molecular genetics. She graduated with an MD from Cornell University and a PhD from The Rockefeller University. On March of the year 2014 Chung spoke in a Ted Talk conference over autism, Autism- what we know (and what we don’t know yet). Chung and her team of expertise lecture the audience concerning this order.…

The True Value of Food and Its Implications Introduction In the recent years, scientific research has led to gigantic strides in the production of food from animals. The scientific selection of breeding animals, a better understanding of nutrition provided to animals and the control of diseases has revolutionized the production of food from animals. People across the world have been able to consume a more nutritious diet than ever before. In virtually every country, scientific knowledge about…

both nature and nurture. This is because we get our characteristic through our parents, like hair and skin color, height and psyche. Even intelligence and socializing abilities come through our parents. These all our passed from our parents to us via DNA (genes) in the nucleus of the cell but these abilities only groom if we work on them. For example: A child’s parents are very good in mathematics but the child may not be as good because the child did not work to groom his skill or he/she did…

Our Actions and Their Consequences Have you ever wanted to change yourself? You may want to rethink that. During the short story “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes, Charlie undergoes a experimental surgery to increase his intelligence. The story is a collection of all of Charlie’s progress reports from before to after his surgery. He continually writes better and with more intellect, and then he begins to decline. He gets amnesia and other terrible symptoms, such as depression, and…

In the excerpt from Ed Yong’s book I Contain Multitudes, he artistically argues the importance of studying microbiomes, in relation to other scientific disciplines. To craft his argument, he uses analogies to show the likeness between the Earth’s ecosystems and human internal body functions, personifies small organisms to evoke compassion from the reader, and utilizes the personal pronoun “we” to create a sense of social cohesion. The study of microbes is often neglected due to the apparent…

Human life is the best creation of evolution and it has two aspects: the biological and the socio-cultural. Biological aspect is found in plant and animal life. But the socio-cultural aspect is the rare division of human life alone. Our life in the complex world is governed not only by the biological process, but also by a social process. Though the performance of the organism is the biological heredity, education is our social heredity. With biological heredity alone, we would be nothing better…

About GMOs: Persuasive Essay The discussion of genetically modified organisms (or GMOs) can cause quite a heated debate. GMOs are created by a process called genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification. During this laboratory process, the DNA of one species is removed and then added to the genetic makeup of another species (Smith, GMO Education). GMOs can supposedly increase yield, produce herbicide/insecticide tolerant crops, and in some instances they have benefited third world…

refers to external modifications to DNA that turn genes “on” and “off”. Although modifications don’t change the sequence per se, it changes the way the cells “read” genes. Essentially, this is what differentiates genetics from epigenetics. Going further into detail, genetics conceptually deal with gene and gene function. This focuses on how DNA sequences make changes in the cell. However, epigenetics refers to gene regulation. Instead, it focuses on the way DNA is regulated to attain those…

TED Talk: Ethics of Designer Babies Review The field of science is an ever-growing entity, melding our futures with every breakthrough. One field is that of genetic modification. Gene modification usually brings the thought of produce into mind, but this also applies to human genomes. I viewed a TED Talk led by speaker Paul Knoepfler that delves into concerns of these modifications, particularly that of designer babies. Chosen out of a plethora of videos, the subject matter of genetic…
