Information science

Technology and Social media has become an important part of our daily life so it makes it hard for people to live without it. Social media and technology gives us infinite access to information and lets the world become more connected unlike ever before. However, this infinite amount of access and connection also comes with a cost. Transparency brought by social media blurred the line between public self and private self . Thus, makes it hard for people to balance it. In “Electric Funeral”,…

How can some live in a society with access to a wealth of information accessible in less than a second still believe the earth is flat? This question is easily answerable in one word: misinformation. Unsurprisingly, the answer to this question invariably raises other questions. However, rather than focusing on questions surrounding the qualifications of misinformation, perhaps a question that deals directly with misinformation’s nature should take center stage: “How is misinformation spread?”…

The suffering, pain and death that animals are subject to during scientific research isn’t worth the benefits. The information gathered from an animal experiment would not result in the same outcome if it was performed on a human. There are too many variables, such as age, weight, gender that would essentially render the information invalid (Greek 56). Scientist know this however these experiments are completed. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Federal…

prediction capabilities and develop related models via acknowledging variations inherent in the spatial and geographic realm (Cutter et al. 2002). Effectively communicating the science related to geographic skill and technology with the public is critical (Church 2009; Scheufele 2013; Baram-Tsabari and Osborne…

Dr. Hudspeth grew up in the rural outskirts of Houston, Texas where he has said that his interest in science and nature flourished. He was a passionate collector of rocks, fossils, and shells along with a variety of animals. Hudspeth started his first research job at the age of 13 working with Dr. Peter Kellaway, who was a neurophysiologist at the Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Hudspeth’s passion for hearing was sparked while pursuing a Ph.D at Harvard. He states that the his interest was…

communicate ideas with team members in person, online or via reports Team player -- work with a team to observe the ocean and conduct research Detail-Oriented -- oceanographers work with a lot of data and need to be able to pick out the right information. Also when conducting research, have to be sure they are getting all their research well and of good quality. Work environment(s) Work on/with surface ships, satellites, aircrafts, underwater crafts and many other types of scientific…

The subject of science has always been an interest of mine, more specifically biology. My love for this subject began to develop during my sophomore year of high school and ever since, the human body has intrigued me. Anatomy has always been a strong point throughout my education, as it came so easily to me. It is extremely fascinating that humans are so similarly structured, being that each and every human contains the same outline. Although humans are internally similar, externally we are able…

revolutionised countless areas of scientific research and has become an icon of science itself. From Anton van Leeuwenhoek discovering micro-organisms in the 1670’s to the highly powerful atomic microscopes used today, microscopy has furthered scientific knowledge in many, many ways [1]. It has practical applications in very many areas of research such as biotechnology, materials science, microbiology, environmental science etc. Its wide array of uses is reflected by the many different types of…

technology could be the weather sattelite planes. While it may seem like this would not be helpful, it does assist with predicting future weather reports. The LIDAR does not tell researchers of the future, it provides a 3D view of the ground surface and information of the past. For instance, the…

Maitrey Patel IS 350-003 10/25/16 IS 350 Midterm Current Event Topic: Brain to Brain Interface Statement: Technology is growing worldwide. If it keeps on growing this way our generation’s technology will be nothing compared to the upcoming generation. Technology is improving from time to time such as: we went from keypad phones to touch-screen phones also we went from regular time telling watches to smart watches. The technology which interests me the most is the brain to brain interfaces. Brain…
