My Vision For The Future Of Science And Technology

On the brink of discovery there is a thrilling glow of hope and promise. The hope of a betterment of life as it is and the promise of something new and exciting. The turn of the twentieth century was this threshold of opportunity and anticipation, and a booming era for scientists and inventors alike. Between 1900 and 1920 a plethora of modern day conveniences and concepts were brought to life. Without this unique period in time civilization might have had to do without escalators, Gillette’s double edged safety razor, modern vacuum cleaners, air conditioning, the Teddy Bear, crayons, airplanes, E=mc2, automobiles, Life Savers candy, and the bra, just to name a few.1 Along with the glitter of innovation can come an unintentional (and sometimes

The article uses informational quotes from respected individuals, like the dean of the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences and principal investigator of STEM BUILD at UMBC, which gives the opinion of the individuals who have more experience in the field than the actual author of the article.

Challenges such as: who will be accessing these systems, how much these systems will cost, how to create these systems without spending a fortune and how to create these systems efficiently. As learned throughout the congress, each challenge presents itself with an opportunity. This opportunity is where my peers and I come into the field. According to many speakers at the congress, only twenty-percent of people can afford valuable scientific information (Andraka). Many scientists have made it clear that our generation will fail in the field of science, will be rejected and maybe earn some restraining orders. However, within the congress we were gifted the opportunity of learning new scientific information, talking too many of the scientists and being exposed to over four-thousand motivated peers. Attending the congress was an opportunity to become closer to being a scientist. Learning the new scientific information will gift my peers and I time to advance in science and technology, to reduce time wasted on creating a system that has already been

As a STEM student in the Biomedical pathway I am constantly introduced to new forms of science every single day, which is certainly a privilege because as a STEM student I am exposed to new ways of learning which aren’t covered in a typical classroom setting. In fact, Science is my favorite subject because it’s a constantly evolving subject that is responsible for the fluidity of earths processes. Moreover, my interest to increase my knowledge base leads to my interest in the Science aspect of the Governor’s Honor Program.

When deciding on a place for my science trip, I knew the perfect place would be the Liberty Science Center, located in Jersey City, New Jersey. I went there often as a child, so I already knew that there was a great deal to learn there. What I didn?t realize was how much it had been updated since I was there last. There are so many advances going on in science and technology, it?s all so amazing. What surprised me most, is that even at age 19, I still had as much fun there as I did when I was 9.

Long times ago, even during the 19th century, scientist all over the world had started to find the cure for cancer, one of the most feared disease you can ever imagine, simply because you don’t know what the cause and how to turn it off. Cancer started

Over 270 institutions, including research centers, universities, and corporations, have endorsed the Moonshot, and the federal government is already looking to utilize private groups for assistance. GlaxoSmithKline will provide assistance in data management and analytics, and the National Photonics Initiative, which put together a National Cancer Moonshot task force comprised of experts from groups including The Lung Cancer Alliance, Prevent Cancer Foundation, Siemens, the Advanced Medical Technology Association, the Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance, presented a roadmap for future technological progress. A number of private groups have also redoubled their research efforts or established their own “moonshots,” inspired by Biden’s example. New financial pledges from, groups such as the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, the Parker Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and a group of philanthropists led by Michael Bloomberg to fund John Hopkins University add up to almost $1 billion of additional research funding over the next few

The purpose of a vision statement for any organization is to identify who they are and what they want to become in 3-5 years. As most school visions have changed with the evolving workforce so has Garrett Academy of Technology’s vision statement. In the 21st century workplace students need critical thinking skills and the knowledge necessary to succeed and be competitive in a global workforce. In the vision statement Garrett Academy identifies the who and where they want to be in the future. The who the vision seeks to address are the students, who are at the forefront of any educational institution. The question of where they want them to go is also answered in the vision statement by saying they want each graduate to have the skills necessary

Technology has had a major impact on human successes over the past million years. Possibly the single most influential event in the public’s interest when it comes to science and technology, would be the Apollo II mission. The space field has had a major impact and also has provided us with the ability to learn new technology and advance in our latest technologies. Since the first man walked on the moon, science has advanced at a rapid pace; nuclear power, television, jet

I constantly daydream about my future career and what I could expect with it, but sometimes I don’t realize that I wont know much about the job until I actually try it out. As my research on the SECME sponsors and my own personal experiences have shown, engineering extends beyond the lab. It's not hard to see how my future career can have profound effects on the lives of many others. For example, I could one day use new technology developed by engineers to make the process of saving someone’s life a lot easier and have better survival odds. Or possibly someday we could use robotic technology to help people walk again. Although I would not be making this new kind of technology myself, it would be amazing if I could use it to change someone’s life. It's mind-blowing how far a career in STEM can take me and others who are willing to pursue these kinds of

Although there is not a cure for cancer, but cancer research treatment and early detection has been greatly improved by technology over the year. Improving health care and decreasing cancer related death. Technology has enabled researchers to understand cancer in ways never before, allowing more innovative treatment with less side effects and even ways to help cope with the side effects. Also, letting researchers create treatments that are more effective and personalize against the many types of cancer out there. More importantly, technology has improved cancer screening and detection at an early stage, which help

While perusing the work of household names in the scientific field, we find how instrumental they were in facilitating life changing scientific breakthroughs. One can easily be lured

In our ever evolving society we seem to be having a greater affinity to technical jobs and careers more integrated with our technology. It appears that we are heading into a world of Science, Technology , Engineering, and Mathematics or STEM. The STEM fields that are rapidly increasing relate to jobs that deal quite a bit with our newer technology and the creation and development of new and more efficient technologies. To compliment this increase in STEM careers, we need to focus our time, energy, and most of all capital on the lackluster STEM program in our school systems.

Why do young bright minds of India want to take up science or research as a promising career path in the first place? Doesn’t it feel like a risk? What career opportunities does one have after getting a PhD? These questions are bugging me quite a lot these days. For most of us, born and brought up in middle class urban society are taught right from the start to work hard and be well educated enough to secure a good job. Seemingly it is the gateway to lead a comfortable life. I think in India it is the most important thing in life. Getting a decent job. It’s the only thing that matters. No matter how creative you are and harbor any kind of alternate ambitions otherwise it becomes secondary after a point. So growing up, the thought of pursuing science and research could only be such a far-fetched dream for many of us I guess.
