Biology Personal Statement

This passion for science was molded and transformed by the University of Michigan. Here, I was not only taught the important cellular functions but I was also taught how these cellular functions were postulated. I was also encouraged to do research. The amalgamation of these 2 experiences helped me to think like a scientist and instill a scientific mentality and approach. This comprehensive scientific approach is

The Integrated Life Sciences Honors program (ILS) is a distinguished two-year living-learning program for students with exceptional academic talents that focuses on preparing students in all aspects of biological research and biomedicine. ILS offers accelerated and advanced education in the life sciences while also emphasizing nationally recognized innovations to the training. Participating in ILS has allowed me to live and work closely with many intelligent and incredible peers, each bringing a different perspective. Furthermore, the unique approach and exclusive courses offered by ILS have helped me to develop a more holistic understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of the

Upon starting my freshman year in high school, I had been in honors Biology, and it quickly became my least favorite subject. Biology was something I couldn’t understand, no matter how much

I have signed up for AP Biology because I plan to pursue a career in the field of environmental science and wish to build up my knowledge on the study of life. In this course I look forward to getting a more hands-on feel for what to expect in future science courses and what to expect in the field. I decided to take an AP class because I want to challenge myself to a more vigorous course in a subject that I am passionate about and plan to advance in. I aim to expand and add to my knowledge of the scientific method and experimental design process and wish to practice how to perform a well-executed experiment properly. I also want to grow familiar with the basic and commonly used scientific terminology and get a grasp on measurements- which one

I am interested in environmental studies as a potential major and want to learn more about this field in a professional setting. Through my Human Evolution, Environmental Science, and AP Biology courses, I have become familiar with ecology and evolution. While the Community-Based Ecology in the Galápagos project looks at these fields from a philosophical standpoint, it will provide me with practical experience and invaluable insights as I decide my major and future career path

My academic career is based on the sciences, especially chemistry and biology. Throughout my childhood, I have been greatly exposed to the sciences. My mother was a nurse practitioner in a rural clinic, which was connected to our house. Consequently, the clinic became my playground and the stethoscopes became my toys. Therefore, I was always interested in how the body worked and what affected our health.

Myar Dandash Personal Statement Volunteerism and the passion of science reflect my interests in biomedical science. My interest in Medicine began in high school where I studied biology and chemistry classes that focus on many topics. I intended to continue studying biology in college as an undergraduate student. Everything I learned from these subjects brought my attention to continue studying biology in a detailed way. Applying to the biomedical science program at Rutgers University because it combines both concepts I like to study the most, which are science and the application of science in medicine and other health-related fields.

During my studies at Excelsior, I have learned about Biology, like where life comes from and how it has developed over the years. To prove my knowledge of this class, I submitted a paper to my Biology Professor titled “Mastering Biology.” Although there is still a ton to learn it is a starting point to get a grasp

I am fascinated by the science of life, especially pertaining to animals. In my high school classes, AP Biology is probably the most engaging as I am endlessly curious about how living things work. New to me this year, I have started taking preparation classes for Brown’s Brain Bee. Though it’s very basic, I love learning about the neuroscience that is taught during those classes. The body’s control center is fascinating to me as it is complex. Animals are very interesting creatures and studying about what makes an individual so interesting is what I want to focus on in college. Also, with the intention of becoming a doctor, both of these areas of study are very pertinent to my future goals.

At the beginning of my freshman year, my least favorite class was Honors Biology. I initially treated the class like any other class; biology seemed like a multitude of body parts simply keeping us alive. However, my slightest interest in biology molded into an undeterred passion after taking a difficult test on neurology. My teacher had given us a problem regarding neuroinhibitors and their application in daily life, and wanted to see how we approached the problem. After wrapping my head around the problem, I was able to determine how dopamine affects the body and what it did in the synapse of the neuron. That was the day that marked my interest in biology - specifically neurobiology. I witnessed the various applications that neurology had in real life, gaining confidence in researching different problems in this field of study.

As a young child, I recall always asking my father the silliest questions, and despite the rather irrational questions, he seemed to always have an answer. That curiosity has fueled me to become who I am today. Even more so, I have continually yearned to have the wisdom of my father, who, as a child, really seemed to have everything figured out. I was born on October 8th, 1997 in Elizabethton, Tennessee, and I have been living in Hampton, Tennessee, ever since the age of three. At that very same age, I also began attending Hampton Elementary. In addition to my inquisitiveness, I also have a passion for traveling and photography. While I have never since departed from the Hampton area, I have always had far more grandiose dreams than what this small town has ever seemed to offer; however, before I know it, I will be on my way to

I am writing in response to your advertisement regarding biology adjunct faculty at Stevenson University. I am graduating from Towson University with a master’s degree in cell and molecular biology at the end of fall semester in December. Additionally, I am conducting research at Johns Hopkins University in the field of microbiology. In my current position, I am highly qualified to design and carry a series of molecular and phenotypic testing including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) base genes detection and Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) to identify bacterial pathogens. I am very dedicated to teaching and learning as well.

After I get accepted into UC Riverside, I will spend my time in school taking courses related to a biology major. For example, I will take 1 year of General Biology, 1 year of General Chemistry, 1 year of Physics, 1 semester of Calculus, 1 year of English (101 and another English A course), 1 semester of Biochemistry, 1 semester of Microbiology, and 1 semester of Human Anatomy and Physiology. In order to pass all my classes, I will go to every single lecture, study with flashcards, and create study groups in order to brainstorm with classmates. I will also use multiple sources such as, the textbooks assigned to the class, search the web, get other books on the same topic because having other books might explain the topic better, and I will also ask questions in class like I did throughout my

Curiosity has always been my driving force. My interest in Natural Sciences initially arose trying to understand nutrition and how different types of molecules are used to fuel our body. My interest shifted to Synthetic Biology when I found the Wyss Institute at Harvard. The way they are using nature as inspiration to develop new tools for making a better society inspires me. Three books have helped me to reinforce my commitment to studying Biotechnology.

Although nature is truly a fundamental part of this earth, for most people it simply goes unnoticed. Growing up so close to wildlife has allowed me to see and experience this world in a unique perspective. Where others see a forest or a lake, I see a diverse ecosystem teaming with life. Even when looking at individual plants, details are apparent to me that others fail to notice.
