Honor means great respect for what you have done especially big accomplishments. Honor is when someone respects you for your accomplishments. Scientist Ernest Rutherford was born on August 30, 1871, in Spring Grove New Zealand. A pioneer of nuclear physics and the first to split the atom in half he was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his theory of atomic structure. His father James had little education and struggled to support the large family of 14 but his mother Martha worked…

Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are a very active couple in their mid-thirties. Mr. Anderson is a carpenter and enjoys building wood furniture by hand for designers, and Mrs. Anderson is a field hockey player coach at a local college as well as a player. Both Mr. and Mrs. Anderson want to have their own child, but have not had any luck over the course of a year. They decided it was best to talk to a reproductive endocrinologist, and after months of testing, they couple still had no luck. The couple’s…

The setting of Underground Scientist Save the Day contributes to the plot greatly. In the beginning of the story we learn that a boy named Jim and his family are stuck in their house because of the trash problem being so bad that the cant even leave their house. I learned this because in the text it states, "Jim Chang had been cooped up in his family's house forced inside by piles of garbage that now blocked ever single street of his town." This piece of text proves the struggle Jim and his…

Fred Brooks is the first recipient of ACM Allen Newel Award. This award is presented as a token of honour to the individuals for their contributions in bridging Computer Science with other disciplines. In the article “The Computer Scientist as Toolsmith – II”, Brooks has given the opinion that Computer Science is probably not the best name that is coined for the discipline of computers which deals with solving problems for the users. Explaining the core difference between Science and Engineering…

Though not having met Jacque Fresco in person, he has had a huge impact in my life. For most of my life, I wanted to be a doctor due to the monetary and social benefits. This dream of mine was from the tender age of two. At that point in time, I was fascinated by my pediatricians. This continued till around the late 8th grade. It was during the 8th grade where I developed a fascination with physics and wanted to be a physicist. However, when I moved to the United States in the summer of 2014, I…

Scientist Leon Kass is another doomsayer to the transhumanist movement, and he believes that our human nature is the way it is for a reason, and there is not a reason to tamper with it as it may detract from our humanity. In addition, political scientist Francis Fukuyama claims that there is a “dignity…unique to human beings,” that might be lost in a transition from our purely biological existence (Bostrom; Downes and Machery, 578). However, history is full of naysayers whose woes and sentiments…

Christina DeFiori The chapter Psychics and Scientists begins with a very thoughtful example to explain precognition. We have all had an instance when we thought about a person and then the phone buzzes and it magically appears to be that person. Of course this coincidence seems like a big deal and might even make people say the line, “I must be psychic.” What this chapter points out is a very important argument: You might have been right that one time, but what about the hundreds of times you…

During the time of WWT many scientists were helping to make atomic weapons. Some of the scientist who helped created the atomic weapons were not happy about the way they were used for various reasons. Other scientists were angry at America for deploying these weapons against Japan. They felt like it was unnecessary to drop atomic bombs. This is why many scientist spoke up when they heard how the bomb was being used and who it was being used against. In the being American first intended to…

Gregor Mendel was a scientist from Moravia who became famous for founding the science of genetics. He worked with cross breeding pea plants, focusing on several different characteristics. When he found that breeding a green and yellow pea plant, always turned out with yellow colored offspring, he ended up making the terms "dominant" and "recessive". Sadly, Mendel's work wasn't found important until decades later in the 20th century, but the things he discovered are still important to us today.…

about skin color, body build, and facial traits) were the only source of information available to scholars interested in tracing human evolutionary history. 4. Today, however, researchers have a wealth of genetic data, including molecular data Why Scientists Study Human Genetic Variation? • Two research approaches were historically important in helping investigators understand the biological basis of heredity. The first of these approaches, transmission genetics, involved crossing organisms and…
