Interdisciplinary fields

are thinking what they’re thinking and the motivations behind their behavior. The Cognitive Science major in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts will allow me to explore my obsession on a deeper level through providing me with an interdisciplinary education and access to related student organizations so that I can thoroughly explore its aspects, while also participating in hands-on research and community activities. A wide array of courses offered at LSA relate to my interests in…

seek to further my interest in neuroscience through the Biological Basis of Behavior (BBB) program at the University of Pennsylvania’s College of Arts and Sciences, which has the diverse faculty, resources, and research to strongly support this interdisciplinary major. My passion for neuroscience stemmed first from an independent-study research project centered on bioethics, in which I studied brain imaging and the utilization of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging technology in the judicial…

I truly believe in the saying, “You are nothing without your past.” Our experiences affect how we think, feel, and act as well as help shape our morals, attitude, and social behavior. My experiences—both good and bad—molded me into the person I am today, and the person I hope to become tomorrow. The hurdles I faced during childhood developed into a desire to aid others, while my years as an Army officer created a love and desire to lead. Nursing is a profession that symbolizes selflessness…

I want to be able to wake up and want to go to work and the only way I knew this would happen is if I passed nursing school and became a nurse which I am honored to say I have done just that. Now all I need to do is actually begin working in this field to truly make my dreams come true. Nursing is my calling in life not just a career! I want to make miracles in all my patients and families lives for the rest of my life. I should be chosen for this Pediatric Nurse Residency program! I am…

I would often read mysteries, always striving to figure out the “whodunit” as well as about famous researchers and their revolutionary discoveries (now in my free time I enjoy watching true crime). Both of my parents are involved the life sciences field and have encouraged my interests over the years. One of my most enriching experiences was shadowing at my father’s lab over the summer where I was able to learn about the lab techniques and real life research experience which I wasn’t able to get…

The profession of nursing has an array of options for different types of work environments. For example, nurses may work in the hospital environment, clinics, nursing homes, etc. However, at the center of every nursing position there should be a main focus and goal of patient safety and providing quality care (). When anyone decides to search for another job position, they should do their research on the position opening and the organization as a whole. There are many tools that nurses can…

boundaries. That is, the network of people who are influential within a profession may include people from very different specialty, or even a different discipline. For example, Lamont's study of elite academic fellowship competitions focuses on interdisciplinary panels of scholars who award fellowships…

several are still relevant; some of them have also inspired me to take the path I am considering today. In not distant past, I was supposed to study medicine to become a physician; however, I finally decided to change the subjects and specialise in the field of Humanities. But my curiosity for the Natural Sciences has not faded away which is the reason why I have continued studying Biology on Higher Level. Nevertheless, my principal area of interest is Humanities – especially literature,…

overall have come to a common ground that the knowledge that each background should offer is worth more when able to combined the research with other scholars in universities across the world. I do feel that Women Studies is a very powerful interdisciplinary field that has a huge ability of changing the ways the human body interact with people outside of their immediate backgrounds, as well as any discipline that incorporates increasing the knowledge of…

I was keenly aware of the importance of Genetics in health care early in my time studying Medicine and later have gained profound knowledge of it as well as Cell Biology and Molecular Biology through in-depth Biomedical studies. However, it is during my current study on the genetic disorder Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) when my passion for the Laboratory Genetics and Genomics was lighted. My passion for the Laboratory Genetics and Genomics was lighted while I am conducting current studies on…
