Fields of science

Working at the science department at Eastern Florida was unlike any other experience I ever had. Traditionally, I had done mediocre office work for my previous volunteer positions. But I had never been inclined to volunteer in a science field before and I would had never looked that way as I want to major in communications. I had come across this volunteering position when my old professor at the time asked me if I had wanted to consider volunteering at the science lab for part of my service-learning as a part of his class. In a conscious great effort to get on my professors' good side, I decided to volunteer at the science department. I will be the first to admit, volunteering there was slow at first but gradually with time, I got a chance…

Introduction Science always fascinated people regardless young or old, male or female. From the beginning of human development, hundreds of cultures tried their luck with new inventions and scientific explanations. Every development was founded on the drive to explain the surrounding world in an easy way and try to understand every part of it. Often it was luck or the product of hard work over years and months of calculation and experiments. Looking back into history, every culture had its own…

Science is one of the few disciplines that continues to develop in our society, whether it is through technology or new discoveries. When considering my own relationship to the world of science, I often consider the past science classes I’ve taken. Thinking back to learning about the scientific method in elementary school to constructing science fair projects for six consecutive years had me realize how far I had come without really questioning science. The year I had made it past the first…

Out of the many prominent Islamic contributors to society, two of the most important are Ibn Al Haytham and Al Zahrawi. Both men lived in separate parts of the world during 900 and 1000 and were leaders in mathematics, anatomy, and other branches of science. Al Haytham developed the first scientific method, which is used by nearly all scientists today, as well as conducted numerous studies on light, the human eye, and astronomy. In contrast, Al Zahrawi was a pioneer in surgery, inventing the…

Humans are on the constant pursuit of knowledge, and there are many ways by which this knowledge can be attained. Two such ways may be through the arts and natural sciences. However, as humanity begins to think deeper to know more, more and more ethical concerns arise. The arts, for example, contribute to society by adding to the cultural symbols that make up a community. Sometimes, there may be artwork considered too vulgar or immoral for the public. In terms of natural sciences, researchers…

Computer science is becoming an increasingly essential field in today’s world. With an ever accelerating reliance on technology, there is a demand for people with expertise to do the things necessary to maintain and innovate on said technology. However, computer science has a bit of a problem in the United States and much of the western world, there is a seeming lack of women choosing CS as their major or pursing a career in CS. This is a very big problem, because more women in the field means…

I have recently become a part of the Honors Program at UNL, which will help push me and provide opportunities for leadership roles within my program. After graduating…

with both good and bad science. One example of bad science from the movie is a bunch of people with pacemakers dieing due to the disruption of the electromagnetic field. Even though a electromagnet disruption could stop a pacemaker from working according to futurity.org the earths magnetic field will never completely shut down. One example of both good and bad science is when a bunch of birds crash into a bunch of stuff also due to the disruption of earth's magnetic field. It is good science…
