I always knew there would be a point in time where I would have to choose a career and I've always had an interest in being something medical so I decided I would research about how to become an anesthesiologist. The reason I choose this topic is actually kind of a dumb reason. I've always was interested in a medical job but what really got me thinking of having a medical job was because of the show Grey's Anatomy. It is a show about surgeons/doctors in a hospital. I always knew I probably…

than three, and be specific.) I take great pride in being acknowledged in a recent Nature scientific journal publication entitled “Epigenetic Editing of Ascl1 gene in Neural Stem Cells by Optogenetics,” which stems from my work as a research intern at the Indiana University School of Medicine. I am also proud to have had the opportunity to present my research work as a semi-finalist at the Armed Forces-sponsored Southern California Junior Sciences and Humanities Symposium. Last but not least, I…

writer, but her interests soon wavered onto Biology. In 1929, she earned her Bachelor’s degree. After earning her degree, she went on to do some work at “Johns Hopkins University,” and later on in 1931 decided to take a job at the, “University of Maryland,” where she ended up teaching for five years. In 1929 to 1936 she taught at Johns Hopkins Summer School and decided to go and pursue the study of Marine Biology at, “the…

A man consumed by the war he fought. That’s the phrase that comes to mind when reflecting upon the genius that was Gil Scott Heron. Often the appellation of “revolutionist and pioneer is is affixed to this man from the Bronx, whose quavering voice brought realization to the minds of masses the plight that they were in. Punctuating the passing years, Scott heroin with scathing releases, denouncing the systems that subjugate and forward the doctrine of the All Mighty Dollar. Transcending…

cancer, the treatment is executed much later than if she had been a white woman. During her first operation to treat the cancer, the surgeon removed two pieces of tissue from her cervix to give to George Gey, the head of tissue research at Johns Hopkins. The story unfolded after Henrietta died months later, and then after a couple decades the family began to discover the truth of her death, and the cells which…

Wolfe’s (2017) The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks For three decades, scientists had been looking for human cells that could be successfully multiplied outside the human body and much of their efforts failed until 1951, when doctors in the Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore collected a cancerous tissue sample from a colored woman, Henrietta Lacks, without her consent. Her tissue sample is significant as it allowed scientists to conduct tests on human cells repeatedly without running out…

Similar to other discoveries, evidence shows that discovery of the DNA structure was marred by controversies. Part of this controversy involved Rosalind Elsie Franklin, an X-ray crystallographer who was working on DNA with Maurice Wilkins at King’s College in London, England, between 1950 and 1953 (Sayre, 1975). She then moved to Birbeck College in London, where she worked on tobacco mosaic and poliovirus until her tragic death from cancer in 1958 at the age of thirty-seven. Following the…

question for this project was How does music helps expand our interaction in society by being taught in our school system? The first thing I looked at in doing my research was Johns Hopkins School of Education website. The title of their article was “Music and Learning: Integrating Music in the Classroom” (John Hopkins University School of Educatio). The author of the article was Chris Boyd Brewer. The article starts with a quote from Ludwig van Beethoven “Music…

At a young age, children are exposed to different environments which can ultimately affect their character. Where and who they live with might determine how one grows up. For example, Amy Tan was embarrassed of the lack of English her mother knew because of how people treated her. She faced discrimination since everyone taught she should’ve majored in Math and not in English or creative writing. Ben Carson encountered racism and self-doubt. When he was young he felt stupid compared to other…

one of the founders of biogerontology, studying the aging process of drosophila to offset her financial difficulties. Carson lost interest in the lab very quickly but was lucky enough to be offered a summer fellowship in marine biology through John Hopkins University’s Master’s Program. During her time at JHU, she began focusing on the conservation of marine life. This focus soon became her career upon graduation when she took a job with the Bureau of Fisheries and Wildlife (Mahoney 2007).…
