Health science

It may be hard to imagine, but there once was a time when science as we know it today did not exist. During the Roman empire, when Christianity itself was getting started, medicine was a basic, if not crude, practice; mathematics was used chiefly for business and surveying; and astronomy was closely associated with astrology. There were no readily identifiable forms of chemistry, physics, or biology, although the civil engineering of roads, buildings and aqueducts had developed through…

community ranging from plants, animals, as science advances. Even though this technique has been used for years, recent concerns about the health of humans has stirred up and has created a major controversial issue. Multiple tests have been ran to ensure the safety of these organisms, however, there still seem to be some doubts and reasons for wanting the stop their usage. Although GMOs bring some benefits, it also presents itself with threats to human health when it comes to consumption.…

benefit this nation’s education system, businesses, and health care, but different elements of this tool have transformed into a hindrance. With minimal restrictions on usage information, social media, and breaking news are constantly pouring into our atmosphere. No matter the economical class, race, or social status there are plenty of types of technology for anybody in our revolutionary country. Apprehending the potential influence of applied science is essential in order to interpret the…

Animal Experimentation Should not be Allowed Anymore Why should a rabbit have to experimented on and suffered pain just for a lipstick to be consider safe to apply? Scientist have been using animals for tests, researches, and experiments for years. The experimentation on animals can be traced back all the way to the Second Century A.D. when the Greek physician, Galen, study the anatomy of animals by dissecting them while still being alive (“Animal Testing”). Centuries later scientists are still…

In her article, “Science Isn’t Broken,” Christie Aschwanden- a science and health journalist and recipient of a Santa Fe Institute Journalism Fellowship in Complexity Science- discusses the consequences resulting from the recent lack of peer-review, the portrayal of the scientific community due to these effects, and the true nature of research. According to Aschwanden (2015), one of the prominent contributors to the public’s lack of confidence in science is statistical manipulation and biases.…

on average one researcher dies every other year (CSB, 2010). These accidents have led to a general increase in safety awareness resulting in an interest in improving the culture of safety in the research laboratory (B). “He who does not ruin his health by his studies, will not…

The National Institute of Health (NIH) doubled their funding in just 5 few years, starting in the late 1990’s, until this exponential increase in funds came to an abrupt halt. The document “A Broken Pipeline,” put together by a number of concerned scientists, addresses the issue of the hostile environment that developed under the severe financial pressure academic research institutions are facing as a result of losing funds. Nonetheless, halting thousands of innovative research projects with…

nearly every medical procedure, be it a life-saving operation or a simple diagnosis. Biology isn’t the only form of science that has benefited though. Astronomy is another branch of science that has improved with the advancement of technology. Astronomers have the ability to not only see farther into the universe, but can even develop a theory as to how it was created. Other areas of science that…

name of science.” However, a lot of these experiments are conducted under terrible conditions, and the results cannot even be applied to human medicine and health. Also, with all of the advancements in technology we have made in recent years, we have plenty of alternative testing methods that we could use instead of animal experimenting. In experiments, animals are treated as just test subjects…

In the 1896 science fiction novel The Island of Doctor Moreau, H.G. Wells depicts the island home of an insane doctor, who creates human-like beings from animals. Moreau’s goal was to engineer a human being by only using animals for his experiments and then replicate the process. Which is crazy because then would have totally weird cat videos, oh and animal rights and all that stuff. At the time the novel was written, gene splicing was considered science fiction. However, for the past…
