Throughout his childhood and adolescence, his curiosities about nature and its origins drove him to become a prominent figure in natural history, zoology, and ichthyology. Louis Agassiz commenced his education in natural history at the universities of Zurich, Heidelberg, and Munich (Lurie x). After

Steve Irwin, an animal activist, a member of the Australia zoo and a TV star. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of people watched as a, what some would call psychotic, man would swim with sharks and lay down with Komodo dragons. The question that arises from his actions is, were his habits a main cause in his death. He had done this all his life, but at what risk? His own, the animals, for the longest time nothing went wrong. Until the day Glen Collins of the New York Times had to write Mr.

Fifteen years from now I picture myself loading SCUBA gear into an old, beaten up dive boat. I feel the morning breeze dissipate from my skin as I pull my wetsuit up to my waist. The salty air whips through my hair as we navigate through the winding canals of a small tropical town until we find our way to the ocean. As we tie up to the bright yellow mooring line I squish my body into the rest of my wetsuit and slip into my prearranged dive gear. I take a deep breath out of my regulator and taste

that if you are bit by a shark there is a high chance that you will survive. Most sharks take one bite as a test, to find out if you are edible or not. If you are not, the shark simply swims away to find a tasty seal or fish to eat instead. (FLMNH Ichthyology Department, 2005). Every animal is important, but sharks are very high up on the list of animals that humans need to protect and save. Without them, our ocean’s ecosystem and coral reefs would be decimated and humans would take a dramatic hit in

He published papers of ichthyology, botany, archaeology, anthropology, entomology, and geology. He used his prestige and his intellect to further the cultural life of the city of New York. He always strove to win public support for education and scientific research. He organized

Evolution and Diversity
 Evolution and Diversity The foundation for the theory of evolution was laid by Charles Darwin (Rose, n.d.). He developed hypotheses about natural selection which helped scientists develop the theory. Evolution is a theory and not a hypothesis because evolution has been proven by vast amounts of scientific data, research, and testing. The definition of a hypothesis is an educated explanation that needs to be researched and tested but has not yet been

As a kid you always grow up being asked, what do you want to be when you grow up. My answer has always been the same, but my father has always wanted me to take over his job as a Master Electrician. In my heart I have always wanted to be a veterinarian and knowing that I would disappoint my dad was something I have always struggled with. My mother on the other hand, has always supported my dreams. One thing I do know is that they both encouraged me to love school and to pursue a career. Both my parents

Humans shall never deem they are the saviours of the Earth because everything we are doing today was to fix everything humans caused before. In the previous two ESS lectures, the topics were about the sustainable ways of daily life and the new technology- GMOs- currently for the poor.
