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

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.

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

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

Douglas that published in the November (2011) issue of The Scientist, promotes the use of forethought on studies done by scientists. Dr. Douglas focuses on the great need for the studies done to include the negative outcome on life vs just the positive. In a closer reading Dr. Douglas is humanizing the situation to connect with scientists explaining why we need to take responsibility for our actions. Dr. Douglas feels it is in the scientist of who discovers the work are responsible for future uses

Mad scientists are a popular trope in Western culture. These mad men of science are usually portrayed as crazed and cruel men who would stop at nothing to get what they want, to the point where they will hurt other living beings in order to get what they want. The mad scientist archetype existed back when the first scientists began, when ancient peoples first started to employ the use of the scientific method. The trope roared into popularity in the Victorian era, where many books such as Frankenstein

Like a business trying to maximize its profit, many doctors and scientists cut corners and guessed at many things so they could get their products or methods on the market as fast as possible. However,

Nicholas Boyster was one of eight scientists the government had handpicked to work on their newest secret project. Only being in his early twenties, Boyster was practically a child compared to the other scientists, none of them younger then forty. Boyster's young age was not the only thing the other scientists disliked about him, just the most official one. His general appearance fell far short of meeting their approval, too. Boyster's dark hair hung down to his shoulders, often looking as if it
