My passion for learning is relentless; there are many topics I have yet to explore, discover, and master. As an employee of California State University, Monterey Bay my objective is to engage the students in a way that stems success in their chosen fields. Today’s job market is rigorous and many graduates are often left unemployed or underemployed. My desire to pursue the Instructional Science and Technology master 's program will help me create a stronger work environment for any students who…

Introduction: It is estimated that around 706 million gallons(2.6 Billion liters) of oil is polluted into the ocean each year(4). Majority of the oil pollution oil comes from ashore from waste disposal, land drainage and improper disposal of used motor oil(4). In recent times it has been discovered that a possible solution for oil pollution is the “Oleo Sponge”(as seen in figure 1(11)), an oleophilic and hydrophobic sponge that collects oil and rejects water housing up to ninety times its own…

Introduction Salmon are a very important fish species that contribute to the economy and play a very critical part in the food chain as they are the primary source of food for many animals and a food source for humans. Their annual migration is a miracle of nature that provides an insight into the yearly population and the abundance of their species (OLWQS 2014). However, the salmon population has decreased in the past few decades due to the effects of global warming causing changes within the…

number one choice. Bitch has been around for hundreds of years. Changing within the years of its usage, it’s become an insult. Though the word bitch is normally associated with negativity, but the word’s definition is “a female dog, fox, wolf, or otter.” Though the first definition isn’t necessarily associated with a negative use, the word bitch is typically used negatively. Between my home, school, and the media, I’ve heard this word hundreds of times in my life and I have always known it as a…

Europeans. One of the main victims of the fur trade was the beaver. The beaver became severely endangered by the 1670’s. “Pynchons son John managed between 1652 and 1658 to procure from Indians nearly 9000 beaver pelts, in addition to hundreds of moose, otter, muskrat, fox, raccoon, mink, marten, and lynx skins.” (Cronon 99). The Indians had fallen into another one of the Europeans traps, which only worsened the impact of the Europeans on New England. By the 1800’s, the Indians had limited…

The Leonardo and the Aquarium are both great museums, but there are many differences, while there are also many things in common. Today I will be comparing and contrasting the Leonardo and the Aquarium. These two museums are full of many fun things to do, Let's start with The Leonardo. The Leonardo is a large museum up in Salt Lake City. The exterior of this building looks very interesting. It has large flat pillar like structures panning around the building, some with interesting designs and…

case of domoic acid toxicosis in marine mammals. According to the Center’s Veterinary Science program, under the direction of Dr. Frances Gulland, Senior Scientist at The Marine Mammal Center, the acid accumulates in shellfish that the seals and sea otters eat.The acid collects because of the giant algae blooms during El Niño times. The shellfish eat the toxic algae then the animals eat them. He stated, “Exposure to the biotoxin affects the brain, causing them to become lethargic, disoriented,…

The holocaust was one of the worst genocides taken place in history. Eleven million innocents lives were taken by a mass murder, Adolf Hitler. He deliberately killed millions of people just because they were Jewish. With today’s society, it will be impossible for something like that to reoccur. Today’s massive access to the internet and social media will make it impossible to hide and not take action on what was occurring, we also no longer have a dictatorship like they had back in the day, and…

Global warming and pollution has increased rapidly throughout the past couple years. Some of it has to do with air pollutants such as fossil fuels, and others has to do with disposing waste and other substances in lakes, rivers, ponds, etc. There are many factors that can cause global warming and pollution but who causes it all? I believe that everybody contributes to pollution and we should be the ones to blame. But we should also blame the major corporations and other industries that do this…
