The History of our World in 18 minutes by David Christian is a fascinating talk to anyone out there. I was looking for something with relevance to science and I came across this video on Youtube. It is an interesting topic that many with religious views could just pass because of their beliefs. Although many people believe that the world was created in a religious way, I believe that this TED talk could be important and that The Big History will show you the complexity of our planet.

Cost of playing God and the blinding faith in science With the escalation of scientific and technological advancement, there exists a parallel rise of concern over whether or not people will try to play God with such advancements and what will it eventually lead to. Recombinant DNA technology, genetic engineering, body modifications, cloning, and endless other research fields in biological technology are all instances of areas that are achieving significant advancements…

Today, we thrive at the dawn of a new scientific era that few generations in the history of humanity have been fortune enough to witness. The exponential discoveries and advancements in health science have revolutionized the boundary of possibility and transformed the lives of millions of people around the world. Unfortunately, despite the unifying force of scientific curiosity and knowledge, many countries are still segregated by physical, economic and social barriers. While the developed…

“If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” This age-old philosophical riddle may have a parallel in sheep research and production. “If a sheep research project is conducted and no producers hear (or read about) it, does it have an impact on the industry?” Of course, the answer depends on whom you ask. If you asked a group of uninformed lamb-eating or wool-wearing consumers, they might respond by saying they were not aware of any impacts that research…

work are a huge part of the curriculum. I also like knowing how things are made and I like knowing how things work. I have always liked technology, and have always wanted to be a part of making and developing it. Since I like doing these things, the Science and Engineering Learning Center is where I would like to spend the next four years of my life. For this challenging program, persistence is key. Things don’t always work out as planned, but that doesn’t mean I give up in trying to make a…

com>. Howard Aiken was born on March 8th, 1900 in Hoboken, New Jersey. He moved to Indiana and graduated from Arsenal Technical High School. After graduating from high school, Howard attended the University of Wisconsin and received a Bachelors in Science (B.S.) in electrical engineering. Then, later joined Harvard and got his PhD and M.A. in Physics, and became an associate professor while there. Howard was inspired mostly by the century-old literatures of Charles…

The Impact of Isaac Newton on Modern Science Historical Context Isaac Newton was born into a place and time that situated him in what was the beginning of the age of enlightenment. The mid to late 1600’s were the beginning of a movement that emphasized individualism and reason rather than tradition. Isaac Newton benefitted greatly by being born in this period in time rather than 50 years earlier where the same opportunities he had would not be available and the amount of information available…

When I was a child my parents would always take me to the Science Museum near my home once a week. Going to the science museum and always seeing the different exhibits such as the planetarium and the environmental park peaked my interest in science as a kid. I also remember early in elementary school making a whirlpool by taking two 2 liter bottles and filling one of them with food colored water and then taping them together to show the whirlpool. That childish fascination has not left me but…

With one foot in Seoul and the other in Kalamazoo, I have been juggling two homes for seven years. Until I was twelve, home was where I was born and raised—the comfortable Seoul neighborhood in a cozy apartment with Mom and Dad. Since my arrival in Michigan, my aunt and uncle have become substitute parents, and my two little cousins are now adopted siblings. Four years ago when I first arrived at Hackett, I remember how scared I was and had no idea what I would get in return. However,…

In my high school experience, I have been blessed with many great teachers and advisors who have helped me develop academically. However, I learned at COSMOS, a science summer program at UC Davis, that learning goes beyond lectures in a classroom. At Davis, I experienced a college learning environment vastly different from high school. Every lecture day, I had a lab after lecture that applied concepts to real life. In the corresponding labs for Organic Chemistry, for instance, I made biofuel…
