Developing Future Biologist
Since my second year of university, I am step by step finding my way to be the professional I want to be in life. Since I was a child, I was always told my only career choice in science was to be doctor in medicine and with that thought in mind I entered the University of Puerto Rico in Ponce. I love science, and that’s why I started a career in Biomedical Sciences. However, a turn of events showed me that there is more in life and there are alternative careers in sciences other than being a doctor in medicine. Having the privilege of being a part of the program Developing Future Biologist showed me that in fact I want to continue a career in research. This program showed me the countless possibilities that are available to me and it inspired

    Source One Synthesis Essay

    • 5 Pages

    The topic of Source One is how explorers and colonists of the New World took part in horrific, illegal events to colonize the foreign lands, but yet they were not the ones who suffered from these events. This phenomenon is portrayed in the source through the image of a wanted poster for Christopher Columbus, where Columbus is wanted for several offences including: genocide, racism, initiating the destruction of a culture and rape. The poster also goes on to state that the reward for Columbus is “500 years of tourism”. The reward symbolizes how despite the atrocities that the explorers and colonizers took part in, they would be remembered throughout history for their accomplishments and not the horrendous events that brought them to those successes. The illustrator’s perspective on the source is the idea that colonizers of the New World were…

    I have always been a person who has found herself torn between the love of chemistry and biology. The manner by which all natural schemes of the human body work and even methods by which they could be manipulated to create something desirable, to where one can produce the answers to someone's problem is such a powerful and a blessed ability.

    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.…

    One of my most vivid memories from my childhood was the day I received a plastic toy stethoscope from my grandfather. Years later, I realize how it was not only a new plaything, but one that would inspire me to choose my future career path. While medicine is a tough field of study, I know that it is tougher still to toil the earth as my grandfather did in the hot indian summers. At his side after a long day’s work, I would help him at the night clinic he opened for free vaccinations. As I entered high school, I strived to embody such initiative and leadership by running for the Student Council and serving as Class Representative. Taking AP Biology and AP Environmental Science ignited my fascination about how living organisms and cellular systems effortlessly work together, grow, and adapt to their environment,…

    The path to a future in any field is shaped by our interests and the influences on us. Four readings in Module 2 of our course CD explore women’s paths in science: the M2 Reflection, the M2V1 reading, the M2W1 essay, and the M2V2 reading. For some women and men the path is straight, while for others it may twist and turn for decades. Some scientists see their scientific work as separate from the other aspects of their lives, while for others the different parts are closely connected. A remarkable example of desires and influences shaping a life path is Catherine Asaro—dancer, physicist, and award-winning science-fiction writer.…
