Logos, What the World Needs More of Science is based in logos. Research and experiments are attempts to establish facts, and to draw correct conclusions based on those facts.

Before an institutional review board-approved (IRB) project can begin, researchers and evaluators are required to openly communicate with potential subjects about the benefits and possible risks of their participation and to establish their voluntary willingness to participate.1 When a proposed project involves…

Institutional Review Boards (IRB) are set in place to help regulate anthropological research as a way to protect the cultures and lives of the people that are the subjects. The intentions of these boards are set in place for a great reason.

What stood out to me the most from Chapter seven of the readings is that from the start Cormier et al. (2008) and her colleagues state that there has been “little research on the effects of interview procedures, has been conducted”. (p. 231) After reading this introduction of the chapter, I was drawn to Inner Circle strategy illustration on p. 233; I could see the benefits of using this method in a counseling session, but not in an academic setting.

Once I know the jurisdiction, I know which laws apply to the legal problem at issue. This means I must determine if the problem involves a federal issue or a state issue. If the legal problem involves a federal issue, then I must use federal laws and cases from federal courts to resolve the issue. Conversely, if the problem involves a state issue, then I must determine in…

The purpose of this experiment was to explore the vast applications of eggs. Eggs are used as foams, binders, thickeners, and emulsifiers. The multiple uses enable eggs to be made into custards, souffles, and hard cooked or soft boiled eggs. One experiment conducted was comparing the effects of the cooking time for hard boiled eggs. Another experiment conducted was seeing the effects of cooking scrambled eggs in hot and cold oil, a double broiler, and the microwave. The result of this experiment…
