semi-strangers...you’re only as strong as your weakest link, but this link is dainty. Gladwell interestingly points out that people on social media just want easy praise and recognition from these mass associates. While speaking of simple activism that doesn’t require real thought, action, or danger, he states, “...it’s the kind of commitment that will bring only social acknowledgement and praise.” His point, of which I share, is that in this present time, people are only fighting for the “right” causes that will bring them praise for the smallest thing. An example of this easy activism is the Ice bucket challenge. All anyone did was post a video of themselves and tag their friends. People were more likely to care about who they tagged or if they were tagged in someone else’s than the cause they were supporting. Most didn’t even know what ALS stood for. In addition, I totally agree with the idea that real action requires a singular leader. An example of this would be the Natzis, who would have never had such a sprawling effect without Adolf Hitler. In reverse of this is the NAACP and Martin Luther…

There can be many days in someone’s life, were one day can change their lives. Sometimes these days are tragic, like a horrific car accident or they can be a positive change, like being at the right place at the right time, and meeting your soulmate. This for me is one of those days that positively changed my life. My Brother and I were waiting for our Dad to pick us up for his weekend with us in our usual meeting spot. “Tag, your it,” as I tagged my brother. “Children stop running around,” My…

If you want to be in a boy's head, just land straight on it. The summer of 2008 had just stared. You could find me in the park playing soccer with my mates 24/7. I was an 11year old girl who was in love with playing soccer and upon this day I still am. Strangely enough the day of the incident I was not playing soccer, I was playing tag. My friends and I decided to climb on the top of a slide so it would be very hard to get tagged. Unfortunately the tagger didn’t think that way and ran to the…

Walking towards the spot where we meet to pick the tagger, Maddie and I stood silently, while we waited for the other players. It was a breezy, winter day. Everyone was dressed in sweatpants or leggings. Although I was wearing jeans. When everyone showed up we chose the tagger by putting our feet in the middle, and a person would go around saying a rhyme, and whoever it landed on was ¨it¨. ¨Okay, Katharineś it. Katharine count to forty before you come tag us.” By then I had already started…

Chromatography is a process used to separate molecules on the basis of chemical or physical properties, such as molecular mass, charge, or hydrophobicity. (Ninfa 121) There are many types of chromatography processes that can be used in different experiments and scenarios. These chromatography processes on include Gel filtration, ion exchange, and high pressure liquid chromatography. However, in this laboratory session the process of affinity chromatography is utilized to purify a His-tagged…

Review: Green Fluorescent Protein and Histidine Tagged Proteins Histidine and green fluorescent protein (GFP) tagging are important in molecular biology because they allow for purification, tracking, and quantification of target proteins (Ferrari et al., 2004; Cho et al., 2011; Deponte, 2012). Histidine tagging provides a method for isolating and increasing the amount of target protein recovered from a biological organism or mixed sample of proteins (Masek et al., 2011; Singh and Jain, 2013).…

translation in a well defined circuitry that undergo learning and store LTM. These studies will substantially advance our understanding of transcriptomic bases of neural circuit function and memory storage. 2- Isolation of tagged polyribosomes from pre and postsynaptic neurons. Exploring the advantages of tagged polysomes and sensory (SN) and motor (MN) neurons of the well-defined neural circuitry of gill withdrawal reflex (GWR) of marine snail Aplysia, we propose to identify molecular…

Shark Research Paper Do you take the time to research sharks? If you did you would learn some interesting things about these creatures. Ocearch tagged many sharks, like Crystal, so society could learn about different sharks. If people knew that a shark could benefit them, they would probably help protect them. Sharks such as Tiger sharks, are amazing creatures, and have many interesting features. For example, tiger sharks eat a variety of foods. For instance, they are like garbage…

An experiment was performed to analyze the effects of heat shock in yeast called Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to assess the hypothesis that yeast extracts up-regulate gene expression during heat shock the same way bacteria cells up-regulate gene expression during heat shock. In bacteria cells, heat shock causes the bacteria to up-regulate gene expression and produce more proteins. Similarly, gene expression and protein production increases in yeast during heat shock. Therefore, the experiment was…

People have a better chance of being struck by lightning then being bit by a shark. Sharks are interesting creatures and are being tagged to protect them. Mako sharks are a very interesting species of shark. In the meantime, Makos eat lots of meat such as birds to fish. They swallow their prey whole and are known as apex hunters. Also they live in both warm and cold water they also like to surface on top in open ocean. Makos like to leap out of the water into the air. They are are the fastest…
