As this time of experiments prevailed, “Virtually every advance in medical science in the 20th century, from antibiotics and vaccines to antidepressant drugs and organ transplants, has been achieved either directly or indirectly through the use of animals in laboratory experiments” (the American Medical Association). To this day…

After researching the topic of the Loch Ness Monster, I do not believe in this legend based off scientific studies and using common logic. First off connecting the details of the lake it could not support an animal of that caliber for this long. After all the extensive hours of research and looking for this animal, plus the money put into this, not one monster has been found. Humans have an incredible use of the brain called pareidola. Last, this monster is still a legend for the main reason of…

introduction to Chapter 1 of the book Beginnings of Western Science. It concerns the term “science” and, therefore, the debate over whether or not science existed before 1450 A.D. The controversy according to the author, David Lindberg, arises out of the many different definitions for “science.” He said, “. . .we have no choice but to accept a diverse set of meanings as legitimate and do our best to determine from the context of usage what the term ‘science’ means on a specific occasion”…

The world is continually bombarded with snippets of new technological advancements. These gadgets play an enormous role in the daily lives of many people universally. There is no doubt that society has become engulfed in the phenomenon known as the smartphone. Actions such as surfing the web, texting family and friends, tweeting, posting, sharing, liking, and many more have become a habitual routine for most. The impulse to check for an anticipated incoming message is almost unbearable. In most…

information. Not only monks and the commoners, but also monarchs like Louis XIV showed appreciation for the sciences. A drawing illustrated during 1671 captured Louis XIV’s visit to the French Royal Academy, which showed a room filled with observers around scientific equipment like a skeletons, a map, and a globe, (Doc 7). The illustration implied that Louis XIV supported the study of sciences by visiting one of the academies. With assistance from powerful and wealthy monarchs, scientists were…

Have you ever read where they test the products you use everyday? You may be surprised with what you find and may even stop using the product entirely. For the a modern world we live in we should try a new way to test products we use. Modern day society we as people became more aware of the environment and try to save what’s in it, so when animal testing will become more aware to the us, we will make sure to find a ways to change that. Today’ society we go to the store see what we like and…

most important information on what the research itself is about and who did the research. In the article it informs the reader that the most important person leading the research would be listed first and also in footnotes. For research in the non-science field, a lot of times is done by one or two people. In contrast, it is important to take note of who needs…

While it is not often true that magazine and mass media writers get the essence of a scientific study correct in their entertainment based interpretations, Alice Park of TIME magazine did just that in her article “Feeling Alone Together: How Loneliness Spreads” when interpreting and portraying the research done by John T. Cacioppo et al in their research “Alone in the Crowd: The Structure and Spread of Loneliness in a Large Social Network.” The overall flow of Park’s article is consistent with…

For me, the comparison of these two important eras in literature is most profound in their treatment and the reflection through science and nature. The authors of the former were influenced by the industrial revolution and the great prosperity of the time. People were often related to nature. The latter was forced to wrestle with greater social conflict and, what was at the time, the war to end all wars. There lacked the volume in examples of nature as a theme but it did exist. Alfred, Lord…
