The Scientific Revolution led to the birth of modern day science. Scientists started by observing the world around them. By observing the world, scientists began to identify facts about it. Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, studied many things but his greatest contribution to science was the idea that people should observe the…

it is to this that I now turn. HISTORICAL CONTEXT The nineteenth century saw many changes to daily American life with an increase in population, improved methods of transportation, developments in technology, and the rise in the importance of science. These events impacted all aspects of nineteenth century American life, most significantly those involved in slavery and the Civil War, but a large part of American life was affected, a part that is quite often taken for granted: the life of…

research. It to some extends can lead ethical issue and fatal damage, especially in the medical research. The responsibility to conduct a research in a right way is fundamental to the quality of science in our discipline.

As children gain knowledge, change and grow through years of experience, so too has the scientific process involving animal testing. From the first baby steps when scientists knew limited information about this particular aspect of scientific experimentation, to today where new ideas abound on substitutes for animals tested in laboratories, the field has evolved into a mature segment of the scientific world. However, similar to a child’s growing pains, the use of animals for testing possible…

nanocomposites. The logistics of the seminar that was most enjoyable was when the speaker focused on the matter of Nanocelluloses. She provided a lot of information on this topic and I understand how it related to her topics in her research. However, the only part that I did not like about the speaker’s presentation was that there was not enough information on polypropylene nanocomposites. Without the background of the polypropylene provided, I could not comprehend exactly how this material was…

first planned out to treat sepsis. In the future, I would love to work in the medical world and reading the article gave me a new perspective of how fast science is moving. Maybe in the future, I won’t need to prescribe my patients to antibiotics, I would just perform the biospleen blood cleanse! The article made me question a lot of the information provided especially with how the biospleen had magnets to pull the viruses out of the blood. How did the bioengineers manage to find a method where…

During a discussion on whether scientific finds and research should be based on practicality and dictated by ethical concerns, simple scientific curiosity, or a mixture of both, one would believe that one of the greatest minds of a generation would side with practicality. However, in Einstein’s own words, “This question cannot be decided on a logical basis” (Whitfield, Donald, Hicks). He then goes on to elaborate on his ponderings, and then specifies that although this question depends solely on…

Science used to be a cause of wonder and curiosity from discovering what is beyond our planet to understanding the intricacies of nature. However, in recent years science has become a topic of dread for people. For some people, it is because they don’t understand the language that scientists use other times people believe that the research doesn’t affect them and are oblivious to how much science directly impacts their lives. There are still people who are genuinely curious about science and…
