On July 20th‚ 1822 in the Austrian Empire‚ Johann Mendel was born. During his lifetime‚ he did not know he would be destined to become one of the most influential people in the growth of biology. Since he was a young boy he was interested in plants‚ trees‚ and fruit. Because of his interests‚ he went into school and religion instead of staying at his family farm. Mendel attended a school where students were highly influenced to study natural sciences and how to grow fruit. While his time as a Monk

ecology (also organizational demography and the population ecology of organizations) • is a theoretical and empirical approach in the social sciences that is especially used in organizational studies. • Organizational ecology utilizes insights from biology‚ economics‚ and sociology‚ and employs statistical analysis to try to understand the conditions under which organizations – emerge‚ – grow‚ and – die. What is Organizational Ecology? • The ecology of organizations seeks to understand: – How

Hero shrews are less flexible than most mammals. Thor’s hero shrew was first described in Biology Letters by a team headed by vertebrate biologist William T. Stanley in July 2013. It was discovered when Stanley dissected a specimen of hero shrew collected in the village of Baleko and found that its spine was different from those of known specimens

Two opposing viewpoints‚ which is right? Lewis Wolpert‚ professor of biology as applied to medicine at University College London‚ says that‚ "There are no ethical issues because you are not doing any harm to anyone." And indeed‚ the gist of his statement is staunchly supported by James Watson‚ a Nobel Prize winner and president

The Importance of Camouflage By Biology 101 May‚ 29 2013 Introduction In life‚ we have heard the phrase “only the strongest will survive”‚ and undoubtedly‚ think of the strength of a lion or the ferociousness of a bear‚ but this is not always the case to being a dominant species in a community. In this lab‚ we will explore the theory of natural selection‚ or as Charles Darwin put it‚ “Survival of the fittest” (King et al‚ 1-14). Through this concept‚ we will come to the understanding

The following elaborates on my motivations for seeking a PhD in the biomedical sciences. If you take a look at the palm of your hand‚ you will notice the striations and ridges‚ formed from epithelial tissues composed of thousands of cells. Our bodies contain trillions of cells‚ each with their own functions. When at equilibrium‚ they collaborate in harmony. It is a beautiful symphony of regulation‚ proliferation‚ and complex communicat‚ion. Each and every one of us is a universe of microcosms. Cellular
