Martha Chase

Martha Chase was an American Geneticist who was born in Cleveland, Ohio and was famously known for her and her ally Alfred Day Hershey’s landmark experiment in genetics proving that DNA is genetic material. Her experiment was using radioactive tracers to mark the DNA core and the protein coat of a phage called bacteriophage, or bacterial virus. Her and Alfred placed the material into a blender and turned on the switch which resulted in the scientists discovering that the blender had separated the DNA and the protein, an examination showed that only the DNA had entered the bacteria when infection was occurring. This experiment concluded that the protein played a role in adsorption to the bacteria helped inject the viral DNA into the bacteria cell. Chase and Hershey’s experiments became an example of what Hershey’s friend’s and colleagues called “Hershey Heaven”. Martha Chase as stated before was born in Cleveland, Ohio . Chase earned her bachelors degree from the College of Wooster in 1950. Later on, she got her doctoral degree from the University of Southern California in 1964.

Alfred Hershey & Martha Chase: DNA Discoveries Alfred Hershey was born in Owosso, Michigan. He graduated from Michigan State in 1934 with a Ph.D. After his Ph.D., Hershey accepted a position at the Washington University School of Medicine in the Department of Bacteriology, where he started working on bacteriophage. In 1946, working with Max Delbruck, a fellow scientist, Hershey discovered that phage can recombine when co-infected into a bacterial host, which lead to research a new area of phage…

A Perfect Summer at the Beach How lovely it is to begin the day being woken up by the rays of the sun peering through your window! This is how my day began one perfect summer. Even the birds seemed to have come together outside my bedroom window to offer me a melody. How divine! As my fiancé and our girls lay sound asleep, I began to prepare our breakfast. The menu was bacon, eggs, pancakes, and fresh squeeze orange juice for the girls. As the bacon sizzled in the pan, the aroma of black coffee…

Our film was an adaption of I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. We had three parts in the film, the introduction to the world, Neville meeting Ruth, Neville and Ruth having dinner. My main contribution was through the editing and I also directed the chase sequence. We chose I Am Legend because it was fresh in our minds and we’d seen three adaptions of the book already. We decided that Neville and Ruth’s relationship would be the easiest to portray on screen since we only needed two actors. The…
