Graduating from The University at Albany’s Biology program provides a wide selection of job opportunities upon leaving college. While students have the option of picking from a B.A. or a B.S., the focus of a B.S. in biology has more scientific purposes. Graduation requirements are difficult, but certainly not impossible, requiring 67-68 credits over 4 years. These credits include 36 biology credits, 16 chemistry credits, 8 math credits and 8 physics credits. The job opportunities that become open to the holder of a B.S. range across many fields, including education, health and medicine, and a plethora of research opportunities. Just some of the many opportunities open to biology grads include laboratory technicians, researchers, pharmacists, teachers, doctors, and microbiologists. The opportunities change as a biology major may decide to master in a more specific science of biology, and microbiology is one popular field to enter. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, a microbiologist is someone who studies “microorganisms, or microbes, a diverse group of minute, simple life forms that include bacteria, archaea, algae, fungi, protozoa and viruses” (Pg. 1). On a day to day basis, an average microbiologist will deal with treating infections; identifying and classifying new organisms as they are discovered; and finding new uses for already discovered organisms. Other various tasks a microbiologist may perform are epidemiology, writing research reports and describing new
Everything today is a product of evolution. From apes to Homo sapiens, humans have evolved from crawling on all fours to walking on two, flat feet. Mammals have grown from tiny rodents to a diverse category of cats, horses, dogs, elephants, dolphins, and many others. However, there wouldn't be evolution without natural selection; it's what sets everything apart and gives unique genes a purpose. Without this, species would not have the chance to adapt and thrive in the various, ever-changing climates

Water scarcity and pollution: Don’t let our tear become last drop of water
Years of thoughtless exploitation and consumption of environment by mankind has resulted in the effects staring in our face now. More and more potentially devastating environmental problems come up and affect various nations worldwide. But many people have trouble recognizing why a resource that seems infinite, is actually, scarce. Humans have already put excessive pressure

Purpose
Let’s assume that we have two solutions, a clear and a colored one, whose concentrations and identities are unknown. If we shine some light of some intensity towards them; some of this light will go through and some of it will be absorbed. This is important because based on the amount of light absorbed by the solutions we can calculate their concentrations. This important and simple principle
Job duties stream from taking the mother’s vital signs to assisting with administration of medications. The education process is a sequence of steps that concludes with passing the state exam. The average salary hourly is twenty nine dollars. Characteristics of an obstetric nurse is to be compassionate and a team player. Exploring these points illustrates for others how to become an obstetric nurse.

Tuberculosis is abbreviated “TB”, which is a worldwide communicable disease, makes 33% of the world’s population get infected ("Centers for Disease Control and Prevention", 2016). According to the study of the World Health organization (2015), 1500 thousand people (1100 thousand HIV-negative and 400thousand HIV-positive) died due to TB in 2014 and 9600 thousand people are estimated to have fallen ill with TB in 2014. In addition, there were 9,563 causes being reported with TB (approximately 3.0 cases
As of 2008, there were about 753,600 Licensed Practical Nurses and 2,618,700 Registered Nurses in the United States (U.S. Department of Labor, 2010-11). In the year 2018, the LPN employment percentage is expected to rise 21% while the RN rate should be approximately 22% (U.S. Department of Labor, 2010-11). This may not seem that high, but it is, when one considers that the expected employment rate for a Dentist is only expected to be 16% (U.S Department of Labor, 2010-11). Nursing is a highly respected

Biological control includes the use of predators, competitors, pathogens and compounds of biological origin.
There are tremendous advantages of using bio-control compared to chemicals (insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides). These include consumer/occupational safety good, no crop withholding after use, good environmental safety, high specificity, low cost of development and low potential of resistance. In other hand, chemical methods causes’ health concerns, crop withholding period after use, restriction
An epidemic can be defined as “The rapid spread of infectious disease to a large number of people in a given population within a short period of time”. When the culmination of an epidemic spreads across countries (then being identified as a pandemic) the affliction of the disease affects people of all varieties, being excluded from no cultural or social background. From The Black Death of 1347 to the Spanish Flu during World War I, pandemics have deeply affected populations throughout the world,

The incubation period for chicken pox is 2-3 weeks (Bishop,P et al. 2010), this is the contagious time before the signs and symptoms start showing, which means the nurse’s daughter, was past the infectious period of the disease. The nurse’s daughter could have had the virus for over a week, and exposed her mother to it during this time. If the nurse developed symptoms a few days after getting Varicella Zoster Immunoglobin, she had already contracted the virus before immuniglobin injection
