I’m currently working towards an Associate of Science degree with hopes to transfer to either UCA or UAMS in the future. I haven’t been able to narrow down exactly what path I want to take, however, I’m leaning mostly towards a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences, specifically Healthcare Administration or Health Information Management.…
Myself being a black female seeking to pursue multiple degrees in this field sets me apart from others. By pursuing a degree in the field of STEM, I have plans to use my knowledge to serve. The knowledge that I acquire through The Bayer School Scholars Program will aid me in my future goals in the development and advocacy of green living. I would like to dedicate my research to environmental studies to improve the way of life for people in and out of the United States through green living. Along with my degree in biochemistry or environmental sciences I plan to acquire a degree in engineering also so I can develop revolutionary technologies that will help our environment and the organisms living in it. I believe that Duquesne University is the perfect place for me to dive into my ambitious aspirations. The diversity that Duquesne offers provides an ideal foundation for such a task, which requires the perfect balance of innovation, brilliance, creativity and…
I can still vividly recall the eleven-year-old me fawning over the likes of Lawrence Krauss and Neil Degrasse Tyson. I was completely immersed in everything and anything pertaining to the vast universe beyond our seemingly insignificant world. I thought I had it all figured out. I would devote my life to being an astrophysicist and eventually earn my PhD. I would relish in the pink lettering on my wall that said “Dr. Mia”, but as I approach my late teens, my mind has been bombarded with what-ifs and buts. Irrespective of my change of heart, I still have an intense passion for math and science since it is how we explain the world around us, and that is why I have settled on biomedical engineering.…
I was introduced to the field I am interested in from my 9th grade biology class. Prior to the course, I had never taken biology or any science, for that matter, that had captured my attention such as this year-long experience. I was intrigued by the subject and fascinated with all the advances in society that have been made by scientists throughout the years. The possibility of being able to do this in the future kept me engaged and I further pursued this interest by currently taking AP Biology. In addition, I was inspired by the change that scientists can make through research and…
My curriculum comprised of courses such as: general, organic and biological Chemistry; microbiology; Anatomy and Physiology I, II; has helped me gain profound knowledge in the sciences.…
In the television series Kim Possible the main character Kim faces many villains that use biotechnology to try and take over the world. In the episode “Downhill” Kim thinks she is going to get a break from saving the world when her high school goes on a class ski trip. When she gets on the bus she finds that her parents have replaced the original chaperones, and are sure to embarrass her. When the class gets to the lodge Kim’s best friend Ron and her teacher Mr. Barkin go out and try to find pictures of a mythical beast that a tabloid newspaper claims as been hiding in the mountains. They find out that that beast is real and it is not the only mutant living in the mountains. They were created by a mad scientist and cuddle-buddy lover Dr. Amy Hall, a.k.a DNAmy. She is skilled in genetic splicing with a habit of making her own real-life versions of her favorite cuddle-buddies. She captures Mr. Barkin, Ron, and Ron’s naked mole rat Rufus, and she combines Mr. Barkin and Rufus together; it is up to Kim and her dad to save them.…

Bioengineered tissue, brain-powered prosthetic limbs, three-dimensional printed body parts: what used to be considered science fiction has now become our genuine reality. Mae Jemison describes science fiction as something that “helps us look at our society from a different perspective. It lets us look at our mores, using science as the backdrop, as the gamechanger.” With continuous advancements in medical technology, ideas that were strictly fantasy are blending into actuality. Personally, I have always been inspired by stories of medical feats and miracles to the point of wanting to be a biomedical engineer in the future.…
Since I started school I have had a keen interest in science. As I progressed through school my love of science changed to biology of all forms, from a molecular level to ecosystems as a whole and this was a key factor in my decision to study biological science as it covered a broad spectrum of biology based topics. Studying for my MSci degree opened my eyes to many new areas of biology and found two areas of biology that interested me the most: microbiology and cell biology and during my final two years I have, through my module options and project choices, tailored my degree towards these two interests. In my third year of study, I undertook a project studying soil-dwelling bacteria and their ability to produce antibiotic compounds, while…

Restriction enzymes are named according to the organism that they are kept in. The way that they create the name is to use the first letter of the genus, and after the first two letters of the species. There are only a certain amount of strains, sub-strains of a certain species that can produce restriction enzymes. A roman-numeral is always used to show one out of possible several different restriction enzymes created by the same organism or by different sub-trains of that same strain. A restriction enzyme requires a specific double-strand recognition sequence of nucleotides to cut DNA. (usually 4-8 base pairs in lengths) Cleavage happens within or near the site; its positions are usually pointed out with arrows. Recognition sites are mostly symmetrical. When DNA strands in the site have the same base sequence are called palindromes.…
From my childhood I had a strong proclivity towards Biological sciences. With this shot in the arm, I went on to do my pre-university education at Sri Vivekananda Junior College. Here I was exposed to eminent faculty, who helped bring me to the academic level I am. I have appeared for the EAMCET, a standardized test conducted for admission into the undergraduate courses, where I came out with flying colors…
