Fictional scientists

as the “Tower of Babel, long before any scientist thought about or came up with the idea to invent an elevator to take trips out of this world, instead of mentioning an elevator of course it was described as building a tower so high it would reach to the heavens. However, today that story is now almost a reality. With novels, such as that written by Arthur C. Clarke with the idea of a ride that would glide you into space. It made the idea to many scientists of a way for a space elevator to be created

“Scientists told to stop wasting animal lives,” this is an article from The Guardian, written by Robin McKie. It addresses the issues about using animals to test products for us to use such as, medicines to try help treat serious illnesses and also for veterinary purposes. Animal testing is carried out by scientists to also test items we use daily such as makeup but this article is not talking about those particular issues. This article is discussing about undergoing new guidelines for those that

sonication and homogenization methods and running RC-DC (reducing agent and detergent compatible) protein assays. I also gained experience working independently on research projects. This internship introduced me to the life of an independent research scientist and motivated me to pursue a career in research. The most impactful aspect of this internship, however, was the fact that it forced me to abandon my life science-based comfort zone, and start to think and research as an engineer. I became familiar

CRISPR is a genetic engineering tool that uses a sequence of DNA and its associated protein to edit the base pairs of genes. The word ‘designer’ usually referred to an upscale and fashionable handbag or clothes, but with this technology that alters the genes of children to make super babies that are immune to genetic diseases. The word ‘designer’ now refers to these super children that are believed to have a better chance of succeeding and a longer lifespan with their genes engineered. This might

Scents What is a Fragrance Chemist? A fragrance chemist is a researcher who conducts experiments to create scents for household products and cosmetics. These scientists frequently work in labs creating fragrances that will not adversely affect consumer such as making it a hypoallergenic. These scientists test the chemical components to ensure that they do not react negatively when added to the product. These experts have to follow the correct guidelines when handling chemicals in order to avoid

good product with statements from scientists. The Onion uses satire to show how easy it is to sell a product by putting science behind its name. First, in the second paragraph they say “... It harnesses the power of magnetism to properly align the biomagnetic field around your foot.” which was told by a pseudoscientist, or fake scientist. They use a big word like “biomagnetic” to make it seem like it’s useful just by saying a scientist who is actually a fake scientist describe it with big words. Next

of pure scientific knowledge exists within the prestigious community of scientists and scientific knowledge within the academic and public communities has to be filtered from the other particles of ideas, leaving much room for interpretation. This paper will explore these different interactions among various communities and how it shapes communication of scientific knowledge. One such community is that of the very scientists who do the research and publications which supply much of the scientific

To claim that Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was only a product of the men that surrounded her, would do Shelley a great disservice as an author. While it is true that Shelley was trapped within some of the conventions of her time, she was also a strong woman and a brilliant author. While she wrote Frankenstein from a male perspective and incorporated female stereotypes, there are examples that show Shelley was well aware of the unjust separation of the masculine and the feminine in her time. It can

You see scientists are discovering new things and one day we may discover how to fight off aids, cancer, and other diseases. Discoveries help keep our world spinning, without discoveries we could be dead from diseases. Did you know Scientists have only discovered 15% of the animals on this plant not including bacterias or anemone’s. An example is from source 3, “about 85% of species on Earth are still undiscovered!” Another example is when scientists discovered tens of thousands

began the lesson by reading the learning targets with the students. The learning targets referred to becoming familiar with the concept of a textbook, considering what students already know about the sun, moon and stars and learning to think like a scientist. Then,
