Carol Greider's Discovery

All struggles, in one way or another, shape the person who you will become. A mediocre person wouldn’t be able to find a solution to their problems and would allow the problems to swallow them whole and take over their lives. In comparison, a strong and determined person will know how to deal with a problem and will work and get done what’s needed to continue living life to the fullest. In “Lucinda Matlock”, we can visualize how Lucinda had many moments of suffering, but at the end, she didn’t regret a single moment. “Life is too strong for you--/ It takes life to love Life” (Line 21-22). In these lines, Edgar Lee Masters, in the voice of Lucinda Matlock, they tell the reader that it is needed to experience life with both the ups and downs in order to see that in reality our lives were as good as they could be. “Ere I had reached the age of sixty./ I spun, I wove, I kept the house, I nursed the sick...” (Lines 10-11). In this quote, Masters demonstrates us a determined and strong woman who at 60 years old was still working hard to keep herself on her feet and care for herself and her loved ones. “At ninety-six I had lived enough, that is all,/ And passed to a sweet repose” (Lines 16-17). Her determination and strength helped her reach 96 years and by that age, she was comfortable with death, knowing that she had a good life.

There are two scientists that completely changed the way we see the world, and they might not have even known it. Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel are two small town scientists that made two different discoveries that will change the way we think about genetics

How these scientists made discoveries that has helped the human race understand more about diseases and how things work.

Henrietta was an important person due to her cells. Her cells were the start of the HeLa cell line. Her cells were the first immortalized cell line which made them one of the most important studied cell lines in research. Since her cells were immortalized, they will reproduce indefinitely. These cells are important because they are

When Gerda Weissmann a holocaust survivor, was living during the holocaust she was facing extreme adversity, she lost all of her family and was living in some of the most unthinkable, disgusting, inhumane places. She had patience and fought through her hardships. She was freed and married the man that liberated her. When a survivor needs to overcome something so tragic that takes place in their lives, they need to be able to imagine the best. Explains Gredda, she was a strong patient imaginative, and respectable women. For even when the worst was taking place she pushed herself and continued moving forward. This proves my thesis because although she was forced to endure such horrific conditions and acts, she prevailed through it all and was able to live a life filled with

Most people could only dream of being awarded a Nobel Prize Award, and very few people can say that they have. On a normal occasion this is very impressive accomplishment on its own, but it is considered even more impressive if you are challenged with a learning disability. This was the case of Carol Greider who worked through her dyslexia and managed to make major discoveries in the science world. Her discoveries have had the impact to help make major medical advancements. Additionally, Carol has become an inspiration for many by working extremely hard to achieve so much despite the fact that tests in school labelled her as below average. In the lab, however, she was exceptional.

When thinking of the top scientist throughout history Linus Pauling might come to mind. Pauling is not only credited with being an award winning chemist but he is also a great humanitarian. Pauling overcame many obstacles in his early life to accomplish the outstanding work he did throughout the years, he was not only a revolutionist in his main field of chemistry but he also saved lives with his humanitarian work, he leaves behind an astonishing legacy and holds many awards and prizes.

After that she left and started assisting with X-ray diffraction. This was a gynormous step in the direction of her greatest discovery of the DNA Strand Structure. She had discovered the structure while taking X-rays of the DNA. Her photographs are still really important and amazing to this day. Rosalind made one of the biggest and greatest break threw in scientific history.

Throughout the span of time there have been many great scientists. Thomas hunt has stood out through his practice and was one of the scientists to help create the chromosome theory of heredity. Morgan was in school for the majority of his life either as a student or as a professor. He also helped the world understand more about genetics in a very proactive way.

3) Oswald Avery: Tested many strains of bacteria and discovered that DNA carries a cell’s genetic code and can be altered through transformations.

She received her first Nobel Peace Prize in 1903. For this she became the first woman to receive a Nobel Peace Prize and receive two Nobel Prize. Her second Nobel Peace Prize was given to her in 1911. She received them for her accomplishments in physics and chemistry. Marie Curie, in my opinion, is best known for her discovery relating radioactivity. Marie was fascinated with the work of Henri Becquerel, who was a French physicist who discovered uranium casts off rays, weaker rays than the X-rays. Marie’s main discovery was to isolate the radioactive elements. Pierre and Marie discovered two new radioactive elements, radium and polonium. Because of all her exposure to radioactivity, she got leukemia. But as she left, she left another awesome women of science who also received Nobel Peace Prize in

She was studying DNA structure with x-ray diffraction. One of her discoveries was with her student Raymond Gosling, they took pictures of DNA and discovered that there is two forms of DNA, a dry “A” form and a wet “B” form. That discovery is known as photograph 51. She probably would have had a lot more discoveries but she was fighting ovarian cancer for 2 years and then later died when she was

Even though there is an abundant amount of scientist and physicist that have had a successful career, there is one that really catches my eye. Rosalind Franklin died on April 16, 1958, as an English chemist and an X-ray crystallographer. She had a prevalent amount of discoveries, and was very well accomplished in life.

Greider is the person who discovered the enzyme telomerase and this the the part of our body that holds the secrets to how we age and how we get cancer. Carol is still alive today and she is currently 54 years old and her parents are also very smart people. She is also the one who discovered the enzyme telomerase which is what holds the secret to how we age and how we get cancer. And today scientists have used her discovery to try and crack the secret to how we age and how we get cancer, because the we could make ourselves live longer. So if you ever want to grow up but want more time in your life to do the things you want then you should try and help today’s scientists to make that

Rosalind Elsie Franklin was a British biophysicist and X-ray photographer who made important discoveries to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite. Her DNA work was important because it furthered our understanding of DNA. DNA is important because it plays a large role in our genetics and personal traits. Her discoveries helped further the research of many other scientists even the ones she was working with. She was born July 25, 1920 and sadly died April 16, 1958. She’s best known for her X-Ray pictures of DNA which led to the finding of the DNA double helix. This was a very large finding in her time. She also has a college named after her because of all of her great work.
