Rosalind Franklin an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer was born on July 25, 1920 in London, England. She was most known for her contributions to the discovery of the DNA structure. She was born into an influential Jewish family and at an early age she excelled in her studies, at the age of fifteen she discovered her love to become a scientist. She later on attended Newnham College in 1938 where she studied chemistry. Upon graduating she worked with Jacques Mering who taught her X-ray…

Whether genetically modifying babies is right or wrong is something that could be debated depending on an individual's religious values. Several people dispute about the pros and cons to each side, however; genetically inserting, deleting, or changing genes should be banned in the United States because it is not fair to create super babies, it costs a significantly large amount of money, and it is not safe to have advanced humans in our society. Genetically modifying babies in the United…

In 1951 he went to the Zoological Station at Naples and met Maurice Wilkins and saw crystalline DNA’s X-rays diffraction pattern for the first time3. That fall he moved his research to the University of Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory2. He met Francis Crick there too who shared his interest in puzzling out the structure of DNA1. Model showed the DNA molecule could duplicate itself3. They published their findings in the British journal Nature in April-May 19532. James D. Watson is famous because…

Is the perfect child one that can be designed exactly to society’s wants or one that is naturally itself and not genetically modified? This is a large debate that has many opinions, both for and against the idea of designing embryos. In reality, there are many positives to genetically modifying embryos, which outweighs the negatives such as moral reasons. One example of a positive to this process is that it prevents a disease within the mitochondria. According to the New York Times, “Roughly…

regains its love for its self (Poetry Explication). It only seems appropriate that Kinnell use St. Francis because he is the saint of animals (St. Francis of Assisi). When he speaks of “the bud” in the beginning of the poem it is almost like he is talking about all things that grow. All things start out small and have to grow up or bloom at some point, with potential of things to come (Saint Francis and the Sow). When he references “loveliness” in line six it is foreshadowing to the end when…

understanding and the best way to do this is traveling. Traveling? Yes, traveling. But not only the normal trips we are accustomed to seeing in National Geographic. No. There are other ways of traveling we are not used to doing. I’m referring to the titanic power that books has. These not only let you travel around the world but through the whole history. Is not this a good way to broad our understanding? Is not this related to writing? I see the process of thinking strongly related to the…

Genetic engineering is an alluring and powerful branch of science and technology. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines genetic engineering as, “the group of applied techniques of genetics and biotechnology used to cut up and join together genetic material...from one or more species of organism and to introduce the result into an organism in order to change one or more of its characteristics”. Genetic engineering has led to some of the most remarkable advancements in agriculture and medicine.…

Food Biotechnology is a process by which foods are created or modified to enhance crop production, nutritional value, safety, and/or taste. These foods are considered genetically engineered (GE), or genetically modified (GM). Genetic engineering modifies the genetic material of living cells to produce new substances or perform new functions. As with most “new” technological advances, genetic engineering has its advantages and disadvantages and is currently a hot topic of debate with regard to…
