Progress, which can be defined as making the world increasingly better, is a fundamental element of Garrett’s argument. She explains that synthetic genomic research marks the beginning of tapping biology’s full potential. The beginning of a biology revolution, bioengineering research mimics revolutions in physics that allow for clean energy and other advancements. But one cannot discount that progress in physics also led to the atomic bomb, and bioengineering’s atomic bomb could be an epidemiological catastrophe. If the government mitigates negative effects like this through the regulations that Garrett suggests, it is possible that bioengineering research could be a prime example of progress, making the world astoundingly better through tailored vaccinations and…
I made a drawing of a Rube Goldberg machine to turn off a light using at least 5 steps. Also we have to use at least 4 energy types doing work with no objects that are not being held by something. My Rube Goldberg machine is realistic and has 6 steps.…

Dr. Moore never forgot his roots, as he returned to Southern University in 1967. Dr. Moore became a chemistry professor and he held that position for thirty plus years. He didn’t stop accomplishing major goals just yet. Within only five years, Dr. Moore achieved the rank of a full professor. Subsequently, he became the very first president of the faculty senate at Southern University. Dr. Moore couldn’t stop here; he developed a sense that anything was possible. Dr. Moore continued to spread…
Does the Congress of the United States have the power, under Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution; have the authority to constitute a national bank even though that power is not explicitly enumerated within the Constitution? Did Article VI’s National Supremacy Clause forbid State taxes on federal doings or was the Maryland tax law statutory?…

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…
Sensory play and sensory devices have been around for a while now, and have been manufactured in order to help create a sensory input to calm and focus children with ADHD, ADD, or autism. Furthermore, are fidget spinners productive or are they just a distraction. Now, I tend to fidget a lot, I press my fingers against my palms, twiddle my thumbs, and sometimes, have a hard time focusing. This is only when i’ve been sitting a desk for a while, and I constantly feel the need to be doing something productive, or I feel like i’m wasting my time. The science behind fidgeting actually isn’t very complex. Said by Roland Rotz, “If something we are engaged in is not interesting enough to sustain our focus, the additional sensory-motor input that is mildly stimulating, interesting, or entertaining allows our brains to become fully engaged and allows us to sustain focus on the primary activity in which we are participating.” For example, If you are fully engaged in watching a baseball game in the bottom of the 9th, I’ll bet you're not fidgeting a lot because you're focused…
This demonstrates my commitment and capability to cope with challenging situations and be an effective team member. A hospital placement was an invaluable experience as I witnessed medical synchronisation by shadowing medics and how they form the backbone of science. My core subjects inspired me to do an EPQ on 'Can engineering help with the early diagnosis of dementia?'. My EPQ draws on many aspects, such as how advances in medical imagery can help diagnose Alzheimer's disease earlier. Being a future ambassador of STEM and taking part in organisations like the 'Stemmettes' and 'WISE' has shown me that University will give me the tools to succeed in the biomedical industry. Through workshops I participated and had created 3D simulations and built artificial organs using technology and understood the necessity of using mathematical models to develop drugs. Being involved in the 'BP Day' allowed me to demonstrate practical and creative skills which in turn led me to win the title of 'Modern muse challenge for most original innovated designer for an app'. I was able to network with professionals, in particular…
I have chosen a picture of muscularity to represent American masculinity, as well as a poor drawing of a Bowflex exercise machine. American masculinity is often defined by body shape and tone, and is associated with other “masculine” endeavors, such as sports and fighting. Men like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Vin Diesel, and at one time, Arnold Schwarzenegger are famous for their muscular bodies. These men are also famous for their movie roles, but there is little question that their bodies make them fit the role of certain masculine characters.…
Growing up, seeing my mother and godmother aspiring to become medical assistants began to enhance my interest in the medical field. Skimming through their textbooks intrigued me on how the human body is extremely complex yet I found it to be so captivating. As time progressed, I became even more intrigued in pursuing a career in the medical field. Thus, when I was accepted to Hillcrest High School’s Pre-Med Program I was elated to see that I was now one step closer. Taking rigorous science courses such as Anatomy, Med-Lab and Microbiology, heightened my enthusiasm as I had finally begun to prepare for my future endeavours. Conducting experiments such as pig dissections, growing bacteria on a petri dish and others intoxicated me with excitement for…
