success. John Craig Venter is one of those people. He is a Vietnam veteran that became a biotechnology icon (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2003). His works have contributed enormously to biotechnology. His contributions include: Celera’s Human Genome Project, the creation of the first synthetic genome, and Synthetic Genomics, by which he proves that biotechnological breakthroughs can be accomplished in the private sector of research. Not only did his own work…

learn more physics in order to get a better understanding of how and why the world works the way it does. The property owner related many concepts of horseback riding and ranch work with physics-related ideas so that I could relate them to a science-based mindset. He showed me how using leverage would give me more control over horses that are much stronger than me. We laid down thousands of feet of PVC pipe for water lines to run throughout the property, which included a slope so that we…

The world of art instills creativity. The world of science — methods. Combining the two provides an opportunity for ingenuity. However, at Queen’s, the combination is rare. Queen’s is among only a handful of Ontario universities that don’t require undergraduate students to take a mandatory cross-disciplinary credit. The absence of a required course persists, despite a recommendation made in favour of such a requirement nearly 16 years ago. However, while taking a course outside of a…

become such an engineer is to gain as much hands on research experience as I possibly can. The ASPIRES internship program is a perfect program for me to be able to do exactly that and much more. Participating in the program and working on a research project will allow me to explore subjects of electrical engineering that I would have never been able to explore on my own. Additional, through the program I will also be able to sharpen my fundamentals and solidifying my foundation in electrical…

and other geological wonders such as the Tibetan Plateau and the Door to Hell in Turkmenistan. My career path as a budding geoscientist had begun. After this vacation, I enrolled myself in more Earth Science classes, read geology textbooks in my spare time, and volunteered at the local science museum to assist with general exhibits as well as ongoing geology summer camps for young children. During various trips to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., I found myself captivated by…

The career I have chosen for this project is a biologist. The role of a biologist can consist of multiple different studies, but primarily focuses on living things. Some biologists study things as small as the molecules that form organisms, how they work, and how they combine to create a working living thing. Others take a look at the ecosystems that contain living things. Biology can include experiments in a lab, or hands-on field studies. Any physical activity, however, is quite mild compared…

with rich protein and fermented components, especially since researchers are discovering various anticancer agents from nature produce or common food sources. Thanks to my current advisor, professor Savizky, I was able to develop such idea into a project. Among various anticancer agents, the research primarily aims to utilize farnesol, a 15-carbon organic compound that is known to have chemopreventive and anticancer effects. The goal of the research was to optimize the farnesol extraction…

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…

Descartes would be inspired to establish a new process of scientific inquiry. Descartes would then start to design a blueprint for such processes but would quickly lose interest. By the year 1628 he would give up on this project and move on to several mores scientifically oriented projects. He would pursue the field of optics in which he may have discovered the Law of refraction, a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light…

many people do not blink an eye at the amount of deforestation that occurs for furniture or construction use. Many people overlook the fact that without trees, humans cannot survive. Although this is not the same as taking apart dead bodies for a project, Latour’s interpretation that humans take away the power of nature that they should be respecting is correct. Next, Latour is correct about how crucial it is to take action and responsibility for something, especially if it is one’s fault.…
