The Fermi Paradox and Goldilocks zone are two great reasons for life on other plants, however, the Fermi Paradox could fall either way. It could fall for or against life on other planets because of this there are many scientists working through to find what's true. While people may choose their side and think that there is or isn’t life on other planets. There are thousands of conspiracy theories about alien life being real. If so, why haven’t they contacted us? Are they just not as…

I remember before the trip we all got matching t-shirts. On the shirt, it had the map on it. I remember looking at the map and the track was only six inches long, and thinking this won’t be hard it’s not that long of a track; but boy was I wrong. I’ve never really been camping or even hiking before this. Everyone thought I was crazy for doing this trip but I wanted to do it. I wanted the adventure and the story that would come out of this. I never imagined how much this would change me.…

The Fox and Rabbit Game: Predator – Prey Simulation By: Erick Chung Lab Partners: Bryan Oh, Justin Jang, Wilmer Roca 6/6/17 Introduction Objective: The objective of this lab is to discover and understand how predator-prey interactions affect population size. Hypothesis: If were to model the predator-prey relationship for 35 generations, then we would see that the relationship is inverse. Results Predator-Prey Simulation Data Qualitative Observations: The fox…

It is a common misconception that science and literature are opposed. The common belief held is that the two cannot coexist because scientists are too focused on science and authors are too focused on the humanities. However, there is much blending between the two, with many scientists becoming authors and many authors taking an appreciation to science. As evidence, Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen is a perfect example as to how the two can cohabitate the same plane of knowledge and work together in…

Nature Vs. Nurture The Nature Vs. Nurture situation is a prominent issue that has created debates for decades now. Throughout history, a phenomenal amount of tragedies have occurred that have made psychologist and the general people question if it is a person's genetics that make them do evil things or because of how they were raised (McLeod). When addressing this question of Nature Vs. Nurture, you have to study a person's behavior and prove why they are the way they are. The childhoods of John…

In a similar fashion, Will Rodman contradicts nature by perfecting the drug ALZ-112 which fixes Alzheimer's by attacking the genes of host cells with a retrovirus. However, the study of Alzheimer's has more potential for good than reanimating life does (because curing Alzheimer's displays more realistic potential and a higher likelihood to help a large audience of people). But, Rodman still crosses the fine line that determines science does too much when he starts to treat his specimens like…

DNA is our genetic code, it is permanent and unchangeable. Epigenetics are the mechanisms that influence DNA, it is the device that inhibits or increases our gene expression. Epigenetics can be influenced by many factors, for example nutrition and stress. Although the actual makeup of our genetic code isn’t changed by these factors, the extent to which the genes are expressed can be (Rettner, 2013). Epigeneticist Moshe Szyf highlighted the ways in which different behaviors can influence…

We live in a world of unceasing technological and scientific advances that have led to the advancement in cloning. Over the past few decades, the moral and ethical issues of cloning have surfaced, remaining in the spotlight ever since. Many different and opposite opinions are present, whether among the members of certain scientific field or among people discussing everyday topics. Cloning, the result of a genetic copy of parent organism is not a novelty. In fact, it has been present for many…

The nature versus nurture debate has continued for many years. This debate consists of whether children’s genetics or their environment primarily cause the way they behave. Nature focuses on the genetic factors; whereas, nurture emphasizes the environmental factors and experience of the child. People have debated on whether the nature or the nurture factor has the biggest effect on the behavior of children. This sparks my main question: are children’s personalities shaped more heavily by…

Growing potatoes on mars? Yes, It could be a real possibility for the future for not just to see if they can survive the harsh conditions but, maybe even adapt to them. In the passage “Spuds or duds? Movie magic may become a reality for astronauts”I think the overall branch of science was life science or “a branch of science (such as biology, medicine, and sometimes anthropology or sociology) that deals with living organisms and life processes” "Life Science.
