Tylenol, known for their pain and fever relieving tablets faced a crisis in October 1982. An unknown suspect put 65 milligrams of cyanide into some extra-strength tablets (Interactive Media Lab, College of Journalism and Communications, University of Florida, n.d.). As a result, seven people died (Kaplan, n.d.). James Burke, the Johnson & Johnson’s chairman and chief executive officer (CEO), handled the crisis. He recalled 31 million bottles of Tylenol capsules, and offered a replacement product in a safer tablet form, free of charge. The recall cost $100 million (Rehak, 2002). Still, the CEO put the public safety first. Burke also created a seven-member strategy team, aiming to protect the public then the company itself. He also alerted the people through the media not to use any type of Tylenol product (Department of Defense, n.d.). Tylenol re-introduced the product with a triple-seal tamper resistant package. They promoted caplets, which were more resistant to tampering and made it safe again. They motivated the consumers by offering coupons for the product (Interactive Media Lab, College of Journalism and Communications, University of Florida, n.d.). The leadership approach mentioned in this situation is an example of the directing style, a type of the situational approach. The leader uses communication for the goal attainment in such situations (Northouse, 2016, p.94). In a crisis situation, the prime goal should be to resolve the problem with minimal or no injury…

The following is an assessment of Case 3.7, and the mentor/mentee interaction. The graduate advisor Ron Archer is a mentor for a predoctoral student named Gordon Polk. One day, Gordon approached Ron enthusiastically about his transformative findings of a enzyme’s properties. For the sake of credibility, Ron requested that Gordon redo the experiment. Later, Gordon reperformed the experiment, and returned to Ron with the same results. Before going forward with the findings due to their…

method of how to solve for x when x+1=2, and the homework questions were likely to be integral questions. They are totally different! Were I missed something during lecture? I questioned myself, and I paid ten times harder in the lecture afterwards, and the homework and exams still turned out to be some ridiculous or totally unrelated questions. The equation was likely to be Rome, though all roads lead to it, I have to make some turns before I can go straight on it. Maybe I am not smart…

INTRODUCTION TO FORENSIC SCIENCE I AND II (Lab Exercise #7) TO: Mr. Francis Burke, Forensic Science Laboratory FROM: Jason Skidmore, Scot Turner, Matthew Wills, and Martin Maldonado: Team Microsil SUBJECT: Tool Mark Impressions A. Description of Assignment This lab was divided into two separate days. On Tuesday, January, 26tht, 2016 in the Police Academy’s Forensic Lab Room 321 at 12:29 a.m., team Microsil began the first part of their Tool Mark Impressions lab. The first part was…

Procedure: Why it is important: What equipment it is likely to relate to (examples): Knowledge of equipment Knowledge of the equipment in which is in the laboratory is very important, as the equipment in which needs any maintenance is then kept maintained. It is also important so you know the places in which equipment needs to go in and you know where to look for specific things. - Where the glassware is situated as it should all be grouped together to decrease chances of breakages or equipment…

chlorophyll a are at the blue wavelengths of light, 425 nm approximately, and at the red wavelengths of light, 680 nm approximately (Karp 2009). On the other hand, chlorophyll b can also absorb wavelengths of light in the blue region, but specifically around 465 nm, while the red regions of wavelength can absorb closer to 655 nm. Although chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b are able to absorb blue and red wavelengths of light, both are able to absorb a greater intensity of blue wavelengths than red…

Our group observed a computer lab for game design majors on three separate occasions. The reason we chose a game design lab is that there are numerous interactions that tend to occur simultaneously. While the lab is a place designed for productivity, students use the space for other a range of activities, such as working on school assignments, socializing, or engaging in recreation. We expect to observe behaviors like these in this setting. The computer lab is a large room, comprised of curved…

This research lab was done in order to determine the environment roly poly’s prefer best, moist or dry. Prior to conducting the lab on how moisture affects roly poly behavior, information had been collected from multiple sources that suppose and support the conclusion. roly poly’s tend to be attracted to moist environments. From surveying other experiments and reports on roly poly behavior, a hypothesis was developed that stated roly polys will migrate to moist surroundings because it will…

Introduction: This Laboratory experiment mainly focused on the fundamental concepts of basic Chromatography. We had a goal of learning about the properties of color additives, studying their molecular structures, and their rates of solubility when added to a strip of paper and temporarily placed into a beaker of solution. When actually performing the experiment, it is relatively easy and straightforward to do as long as you do not increase the concentration of the dye or leave the wrong side of…

research there is years of work and collaboration with other labs to get a publication out to the science community. The life style of bench work was not a glamourous job, but rather a dedicated and challenging job. A publication on the signaling of one pathway into cancer signaling does not necessarily mean a leap to finding a cure for cancer. Researchers devote decades into studying a single pathway in the complex world within a cell to before truly having a break thorough research that can be…
