Cavendish

Have you ever wondered what scientists use to test diseases on? Scientists use the “immortal cells” of cancer victim Henrietta Lacks to test various diseases and infections. Science, a never ending quest of destruction and salvation, throughout history many historical figures such as Henrietta Lacks, Douglas Mawson, and Phineas Gage have sacrificed much to feed it’s endless hunger. Science is like a great and powerful king that shall never be slain, it forever saves it’s people but at the same time

inventors and innovators, there were also the publicists and writers without whom no one would know or understand the new ideas of the time. One such person was Margaret Cavendish who was born and raised in England. She received the same education that a lady during her time did. However, due to her husband, Sir Charles Cavendish, she was exposed to the world of science. The subject intrigued her so much that she ended up publishing her own theory on atoms. Though her atomic theory contains many scientific

Although Prof Cook had already pointed the direction of my research objective, however, I did not have a clear picture about it. He wanted to explore microscopic effects of the relativity in molecular levels – which meant to find out the difference of interactions within a molecule with or without relativistic considerations. Moreover, when problems arising from computing the interaction between objects, even only considering Newtonian effects, mathematics was not that powerful, which could not derive

I wanted to learn, I wanted to help and I wanted to contribute. “I wonder,” I said, “if I can come here more often and put my hands on it too.” “You’ll need to get a permit from the lab.” The more I visited, the more I wanted to get involved. I sent an application for a permit as a volunteer working with Ying and couldn’t wait till the permit was granted. At the beginning, after completing household chores I rode my bike to the lab for a few hours each time. As the days went on, I stayed longer

A year later, due to exile, Henrietta Maria fled to Paris with Cavendish by her side. While in Paris, Cavendish found her future husband, William Cavendish, who she married at the end

Bananas The banana plant, or Musa acuminata, is one of the most important fruiting plants on Earth. This plant belongs to the Musaceae family, also known as the “banana family”. The genus Musa refers to “large herbaceous flowering plants” with fruit that is usually elongated and curved, with a yellow, purple, or red rind covering soft starchy fruit (Merriam-Webster). Banana plants are often mistaken for trees, because their “false stem” or pseudostem resembles a tree trunk. However, trees are dicots

The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls by Claire Legrand is a wonderful book. However, it probably isn’t in your local library. In fact, the only reason that I own this book or even know about this book is because my Gran had some sort of connection with the author. Fortunately, Claire Legrand was nice enough to give me a free signed hardcover copy of the literary masterpiece. When I saw this book on my shelf, I knew that it was the perfect book to reread over the summer. It is full of mystery, suspense
