I Had The Privilege Of Interviewing And Receiving A Better Understanding Of The Well Educated And Accomplished Professor

Dr. Sia’s father was a chemical engineer and worked at Dow Chemical company for his entire career. He modeled a scientific approach to problems throughout Dr. Sia’s childhood and instilled in her a enthusiasm for science and technology. While she attended Michigan State University, she worked as a technical assistant for Dr. Wendy Champness in the Department of Microbiology and continued that position for a year after graduation. Interacting with Dr. Champness led Dr. Sia to believe that she wanted to become a college professor and researcher. Dr. Champness was instrumental in her decision to attend graduate school. Dr. David Figurski was her graduate school mentor and was a fantastic role model, and helped Dr. Sia to learn to become a very successful independent researcher. It is standard in her field to have several years of postdoctoral experience with a different mentor, so after she obtained her PhD, Dr. Sia went to work in the laboratory of Dr. Tom Petes in the Biology Department in

Marie Maynard Daly was an African-American biochemist, and the first woman of her race to receive her doctorate in chemistry in the United States (“Marie Maynard Daly”). Marie's father enrolled at Cornell University to study chemistry in his youth, but was unable to due to financial constraints, and was a postal clerk throughout her youth (“Marie M. Daly”). Inspired by her father to accomplish her own academic goals, she attained her doctorate in only three years at Columbia University, an impressive feat,

Pursuing something new is fun and exciting, especially if the pursuit positively impacts someone else. I am grateful for the opportunity to re-enter grad school, this time at the doctorate level, to realize a dream that I’ve had since the

It seems logical that people go to college to earn a degree in the field of study they want to pursue. However, in some rare occasions this not always True. Dr. Cameron Gilbert is a case of a person who has done just that. Dr. Gilbert is currently an owner of a budding neuropsychiatric hospital system. Strangely, Dr. Gilbert’s expertise, according to his degree is in geriatric neuropsychology, yet his career has encompassed mainly management and business instead of the clinical work that his degree entails. I sat down with Dr. Gilbert to try and understand how this doctor of mental diseases found his way into the business world.

Nonetheless, today, she is more and more acknowledged – especially due to the recent rise of passionate feminists. Also, historian’s and archivist’s work over the past few decades has promoted Franklin and she has become more widely known. Numerous books and articles have been written about Franklin and the lack of credit she has received. In 2004, a university in Illinois, US, was renamed to Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in dedication to Rosalind Franklin. The university states “One thing is certain - she died without ever knowing the true magnitude of her contribution to the science of life”. Finally, one could say Watson actually did Franklin a favour, by portraying her almost villain-like in his book. Had he not done this, she might had been forgotten

I had the pleasure of interviewing Javita Fizer MSN, RN, FNP-BC. She 's currently employed at a federally qualified health center (FQHC). According to J.F. she practiced as a registered nurse (RN) for ten years before becoming an advance practice registered nurse (APRN). She has been a APRN since 2014 and has worked in inpatient and acute care settings. Recently she began working in a primary care setting and made it clear that this is her comfort zone. J.F. has been practicing as a APRN for two years and she places herself as a novice in her role. When asked about the single-most important factor in successfully transitioning from expert staff nurse to beginning level APRN, J.F. mentioned clinical experience and knowing limitations. She

Andrew Ure’s family was very well off, therefore, he was fortunate enough to have a excellent education. After attending and graduating from Glasgow University and also Edinburgh University he became an army surgeon for a brief period of time. Following the military service he decided to go into teaching and became a professor of chemistry and natural philosophy at Anderson College in Glasgow, Scotland. He taught for 20 years and became extremely popular for his evening lectures about chemistry and mechanics. His crowd started with as little as 50 people then grew to about 500 people each lecture.

She majored in physics with minors in chemistry and biology. However, she took a course in American economic history her last semester in college, and that’s the class that influenced her the most. She realized that her calling was helping people. “From the time I was in college I was horrified at the work that many women and children had to do in factories. There were absolutely no effective laws that regulated the number of hours they were permitted to work.

Shenitta Niles is on her third semester at Roxbury Community College. She got her high school diploma back in 2011 from Charles Town high school. She originally started out at Bunker Hill Community College, but later transferred to Roxbury Community College due to the low cost, convenience and transportation. Although she is a mother of a young child, she attends the college full time pursuing a major in early childhood education. Constantly being around her daughter and other young children has inspired her to pursue that career. She isn’t sure on the type of field she hopes to work at once she finishes her associate’s degree, but she will continue on to a four year college pursuing this path. Nevertheless, a long term goal of hers is to

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” My education in the Pharmacology could and can help out with the future of medicine. But first I would have to attend college to further my knowledge in the pharmaceutical field. University of Texas, habited by the Longhorns, is ranked number one as a top public university in the U.S. and will help further my career goals.

I plan to major in chemical engineering at UNR. Possessing a thirst for discovering how the world functions through the lense of science, I am interning with Dr. Casey in the Chemistry Department to experience chemistry firsthand. Alongside the heavy workload, I will balance volunteering with Dean’s Future Scholars at UNR, I’ve dedicated 200+ hours to the group and look forward to helping out the lives of low-income, first generation kids like myself. I’ll advance from college into the real world examining life at the atomic level while giving back to the

For my student leader interview, I interviewed Cordaro (Cord) Murry-H. He is a junior here at the University of Toledo and someone I personally look up for multiple reasons. Cord gives off a vibe that just says, “Hey! I’m a natural leader!” It makes band flow easier when he gives instructions and it also makes him much more approachable than the head director. Cord is what I imagine a leader who is dedicated to their followers looks like.

As an undergraduate at Michigan State University, I quickly focused in on Biochemistry as my field of study. I have always favored science classes, but biochemistry broke down the elegance of a biological system into complex chemical reactions; it only took one class, and I was hooked. Although I struggled my senior year with a demanding class schedule and two jobs, my determination and time-management ability allowed me to graduate in a total of three years.

Yet, UCSB’s goals emulate some Naturalist theory as seen in their mission statement. Their mission statement states that each student and faculty member will experience an “educational journey of discovery that stimulates independent thought, critical reasoning, and creativity... [through] interdisciplinary collaboration that is responsive to the needs of our multicultural and global society” (Mission Statement). Naturalists goals denies specificity and are unclear to each member divulging a different academic path for each student or faculty member (Sutton 1/20/11). By looking at an aggregate level, UCSB members work together to achieve that “educational journey of creativity”, but on an individual level, each member has varying goals for his or herself depending on his or her role. Students do not have the same goals as their professors or the Chancellor, their goal is to work to achieve their degree whereas the Chancellor’s goal is to provide a thought-provoking experience for his students. The mission state accommodates and supplies a different experience for each member because it is ambiguous. UCSB members must explore their own path to achieve their own goals to understand what their education and careers meant. Naturalist goals determine

It was so refreshing that he was willing to learn and did not need to pretend to know that I didn’t mind stopping to explain words and concepts and give sociological history lessons. The prominent explanation I shared with him was the sad position women were in when the Graduate was produced. He gave me a puzzled look when I explained the phenomena I was born into and my father struggled to educate me and my sisters out of known as the “Mrs. Degree.” I called his attention to the fact that Mrs. Robinson was so pathetic because her generation of women went to college to find husbands Knowing the limits of my own patients
