Slug

I spotted the Green frog or can be called “Lithobates clamitans” in the pond during our first lab looking for dragon flies. The scientific name is Rana Clamitans. Also, the frog was classified under Species. The green frog is very common and found all around in North America. The frog looked about full grown and was half in the water and half out the water soaking up the sun. It was a bright green color staying as still as can be, so it was hard to spot. It was a bright and fairly warm day, so…

The sea swallow, scientifically known as Glaucus atlanticus, is one of the oddest creatures the ocean has to offer. Technically a type of sea slug, it floats on the surface upside-down, with its belly (or “foot”) and mouth facing toward the sky. It has the appearance of a tapered cross with six arms instead of two, each arm culminating in a burst of short radiating tentacles, cetera, which give the impression of feathered wings. Most of its body is a bright silvery blue, while a richer navy…

that hard work. The coat she came in with slips off her shoulders as she holds a breath for good news and steps onto the square surface in front of her. The nurse records the number. Gives her a nod. “245. Okay Melissa, follow me.” Disappointment slugs her in the stomach as she walks to the room around the corner. 245? On the verge of tears, the corrosive thoughts bombard her confidence. I haven’t lost a single pound! Why am I such a failure? As she waits for the doctor, Melissa cannot…

We are probably not going to see the NFL accept any ads for the upcoming movie, Concussion, who's slogan is "Nothing hits harder than the truth." This movie is based on a true story about a Nigerian-born forensic neuropathologist, Dr. Bennet Omalu (played by Will Smith), who was the first to discover Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). CTE is a disease that is caused by repetitive brain trauma, especially during contact sports such as football, hockey, boxing, bull riding, water polo, or…

All other sports such as baseball, hockey, football, and soccer are very slug paced. In my opinion, I honestly don’t like to really play slow paced sports. I still play football, baseball, soccer, and hockey at P.E just to learn how to play the sport, not to make it a thing I would love to do over basketball. No other sport…

Preparation for Cell Lysis Obtain the mammalian expression vector for homo sapien ESR2 from Addgene. Assemble the vector to code for the proteins snail, slug and twist. Transfect HEK293 cells with the modified plasmids in petri dishes. Allow the cells to grow for 1-2 days so they will express the proteins. Transfer the culture medium to a centrifuge tube to separate it from the cells. Add 1mL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to the cells and swirl to mix. Separate the PBS from the cells and…

Johnny and Pony were being jumped by Drunk Bob and his friends, Pony was getting drowned, so Johnny had to do…

Some of the biotic factors of the biome are but not limited to: Lichen, moss, ferns, wild flowers, shrubs, maple trees, oak trees, birch trees, spruce trees, pine trees, spiders slugs, frogs, turtles, salamanders, beetles and much more. All of these organisms are absolutely amazing and each and every one of them has an important role to play in the act of furthering the live span of the deciduous forests. Every aspect of what they…

People kill each other every day. We might not see it or know about it until it reaches the news and the truth of it hits our ears and maybe we will never hear about it but it still happens. That is what Eddie Adams most famous photograph, “The Saigon Execution”, is if nothing else. It is a man killing another during the Vietnam war. That is something that happens quite a bit in war so much so that some people very well may think of death and war as someone synonymous. It happens for a variety…
