I was assigned to read How Our Brains Make Memories by Greg Miller. The question that I found relevant for this paper is, “can memory be changed over time?” The article cites Karim Nader a neuroscientist McGill University in Montreal, Canada. As reported in this article according to Nader the very act of recalling a memory can actually change the memory. Memories of major events, known as flash bulb memories are more likely to change since people replay them over and over in their minds.…

Activists have argued that these tests are painful and distressful to the animals and using them is wrong and selfish. We need to look objectively to see whether animal experimentation is essential or whether there are some equally effective options. We need to show people their…

Is honey safe for dogs? The answer: it depends. While honey has been proven to have medicinal properties -- with reports of some owners using honey to treat their dog’s allergies and as topical solution to burns, with success -- it’s not for every dog. According to the American Kennel Club, giving raw honey to dogs can be dangerous to their health, especially dogs with compromised immune systems and puppies, which can be at risk of botulism.

As a young Hispanic female, it is difficult to strive in STEM fields when other minorities aren’t acknowledged or the budget prevents one from pursuing an education. For example, in the veterinary medicine field, there is a low representation among Hispanics. In 2010, Texas had at least 2% of their veterinarians as Hispanic.

A park in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, has a huge boulder field of musical rocks. Visitors to the park bring hammers, sticks, railroad spikes, and other odd things, to “play” the musical rocks. When tapped with a hammer, another rock, or other things, about one-third of the rocks in the field make a high-pitched melody that seems impossible to be ringing from a rock. At first, scientists thought it was strange that they never saw any wild animals in the boulder field. Then, they realized that all…
