That may be how Japanese citizens felt when the United States threatened to use such deadly force against them. A special set of U.S. scientist assembled a petition to warn the President of the catastrophic effects that nuclear warfare could have on the United States if they used it against Japan. This group of individuals were not just any scientist, but scientist that specialized in the field of atomic power. They knew if the path of atomic warfare was pursued, there was going to be horrible…

unbelievable discovery; Richard had extreme scoliosis. Scoliosis is a disease that damages the curvature of the spine leading to other health complications. Richard’s form of this disease was much worse than scientists had seen in years, his spine was bent almost 80 degrees. These scientists then went onto research how a man of this stature can become one of the greatest warriors and leaders in history. For over 500 years the body of Richard the Third was lost to the world until a group of…

fertilized egg that can become an organism (Boston Children’s Hospital, 2015). Over the years, stem cells were studied thoroughly and helped scientists understand how human diseases, like diabetes and cancer, develop. Of course over the time span of 1868 to the present, stem cells have been changed and updated due to the advancement of technology. For example, scientist have found a safer method with their iPS cells and can now remove genes necessary to reprogram adult cells into a stem cell…

glow-in-the-dark animals or spider-goats is possible? Well, thanks to today science, animals can have extraordinary traits they wouldn’t normally show. Scientist have manipulated around with an organism’s genes for a while, this is known as genetic engineering (GE), and they can now transfer genes from one animal species to another. With GE animals, scientist can advance human health, food production, and other needs of people. These GE animals bring up a lot of concern among people about the…

present such content to the public on mass medium scales. Furthermore, she argues these powerful medias are shaping the opinion of the public sphere, causing more Americans to question climate change. The connection between major oil companies, the scientists supporting climate denial, and the individuals who spread such beliefs, is discussed and it shows to be prominent in all the cases…

I remember watching the forensic scientist in the lab doing autopsies and examinations to help solve the crime and catch the bad guy, and I found myself wondering how neat it would be to be able to help someone like that. That is why I am interested in becoming a Forensic Science Technician due to the overall good outlook, the decent salary and for the memories that are…

and stars and learning to think like a scientist. Then, referring back the third learning target I asked the students to think about what they know about scientists and what they thought scientists did. I had them think, pair share about this, Then pairs shared their ideas with the class. I felt like I learned a lot from the think pair share the students did. I heard about student’s parents who had science related jobs, I heard about why students saw scientists as mostly good and helpful and I…

Television has produced numerous shows that do not paint a clear or accurate picture of what a Forensic Scientist job entails. Criminal shows exaggerate the techniques and fail to note the importance of the abilities of Forensic Scientist and Crime Scene Investigators. A reported 100 million people watch criminal television shows weekly, who form a perception often skewed and fictional in regarding the real world of Forensics. Sorenson Forensics Executive Director Tim Kupferschmid…

variety of beliefs pertaining to climate change is largely due to the fact that many people do not truly understand the research conducted by scientists who specialize in studying climate change; these authors argue that climate change…

1. Background The National Institutes of Health created a number of programs to increase diversity in research workforce (Ginther, 2011). The creation of these programs allowed for minority scientists to receive additional mentoring support to become competitive for NIH R01 funding. Yet, NIH failed to determine the effectiveness of these programs, impacting the priority scores of these grant applications and the awarding of grants to the scientific teams lead by Black researchers (Ginther,…
