I am writing to inform you of my interest in the Doctor of Public Health program in Epidemiology at Georgia Southern University Jiann‑Ping Hsu College of Public Health. Aldous Huxley says “Experience is not what happens to a man: it is what a man does with what happens to him”. Being a victim of typhoid fever outbreak while I was a senior in high school in Nigeria, West Africa; the death of my favorite uncle from the co-infection of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C, tailored my career towards…

Do you supersize? Do read the labels on all of your grocery items to find out what exactly is in them? Most Americans would like to say that they do, or at the very least try to be conscious of what they are consuming. In this paper I will be discussing the lack of consciousness of the food we are ingesting the effects it has on our bodies, as well as the role the government plays in regards to American obesity and disease. In a survey done by the FDA in 2008 in every state including The…

GENE SILIENCING Gene silencing is something that most people do not know about. It is part of molecular biology which is things to with the natural body and life but to a minute size. Gene silencing was developed and still developing by the RNAi team at CSIRO in Australia which was led by a British-Australian virologist and geneticist named Peter Waterhouse. This team of a few also had significant contributions from Ming-Bo Wang who helped Peter Waterhouse develop this technique. This technique…

“According to the World Health Organization, the measles vaccination rate in 2013 was 91 percent in the United States—lower than in Zimbabwe or Bangladesh” (Smith 6-7). It is somewhat astonishing that, despite having a significantly more developed healthcare system than both Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, America has a lower vaccination rate. In an article published for Opposing Viewpoints in Context, Neil Z. Miller, director of the ThinkTwice Global Vaccine Institute, argues that mandatory…

I did not play doctor when I was a child, neither had I grown up saying I would be one in the future, given that where I grew up that was not a possibility for me. I spent all my childhood in a poor neighborhood in Cuba, where the government pushed us down due to our religion. I could not dream of becoming a professional at all, so as a child, I was never asked the question: “What are you going to be when you grow up?” Consequently, when I was twelve my parents had the chance of bringing me to a…

Science has revolutionized our world with unimaginable advancements in technology. From the brilliant minds of William Whewell (who coined the English word “science”) to the modern day scientist like Stephen William Hawking (who contributed to the vast amount of today’s knowledge on cosmology and quantum gravity). Furthermore, science has become so advanced in this day-in-age that it has been split apart into different sections that each cover a broad range of technological information,…

The pathophysiology of Ebola virus is a complicated and detailed process because there are many events occurring within the body at the same time. According to The Journal of Virology, Ebola Virus Pathogenesis: Implications for Vaccines and Therapies, this virus tends to attach to endothelium cells and there are two different receptors for the virus to bind to, to begin the process of invasion. Lectin DC-SIGN can accommodate the…
