Biochemists are scientists trained in biochemistry. Typical biochemists study chemical processes and chemical transformations in living organisms‚ other biochemists study DNAs‚ proteins and cell parts. The word "biochemist" is a portmanteau of "biological chemist". Biochemists also research how certain chemical reactions happen in cells and tissues and observe and record the effects of products as in food additives and medicines. The main function of a biochemist is to focus on improving the qualities

Right now‚ hundreds of animals are trapped inside of a cage‚ and scared of the next test they are going to have to endure. Not only do they have to deal with many drugs and chemicals forced into their body‚ but they are also lonely‚ afraid‚ stressed and deserve to be free. They do not do drugs or drink alcohol. They do not have the same complications as we do. Just because we do horrendous things with even worse outcomes‚ why do they need to suffer? The answer is they do not‚ but we still do this

This declaration is personified in Paul Farmer’s story as he tries to cure the world of tuberculosis. In Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder‚ we see all the challenges and opponents that Farmer faces in attempting to bring about good‚ but we also see the reward of fighting the long defeat
