As a junior I was selected to attend the UC Davis COSMOS program. COSMOS is a four-week summer program organize to give educational experience to determined students. I devoted myself at learning as much as I could from the program which developed confidence, maturity, and understanding in my personal life. Through this, I realize how the world itself is replete with many different obstacles, and it is not as black and white as people usually see it in high school. COSMOS gave me insight into the microbiology of bacterial diseases, but also gave me tools for my post-high school
This is one opportunity that Barrett’s able to offer, and it is one that has numerous implications for the purpose of being a better global citizen. By becoming part of a community that’s composed of the highest achieving, motivated scholars in the world, I will be able to network and create connections with the business, health, and STEM leaders of tomorrow. Consequently, this would diversify my views of the world, which would not only expand my potential outreach to help others in need, but also the outreach of other Barrett scholars. Therefore, not only can we recognize more problems around the globe, but we can in turn do more to solve them. Furthermore, Barrett's impressive faculty to student ratio means that as a student, I will be able to count on being able to receive help from those that have taken the idea of global citizenship to heart.
Lobster is a luxury food that is loved by many, so much that there is a festival dedicated to the consumption of Maine lobster. Although this creature is adored by many, there are some people that feel that the consumption of lobster is wrong. One issue that comes up is the way lobsters are killed live, either by boiling or splitting them in half. Author of article “Consider the lobster” David Foster Wallace, uses personification and information from animal activist groups to make the readers feel bad for the way lobsters are being consumed and killed.
I’ve had a couple of life experiences that have shaped my mind to think differently, such as when I nearly drowned in the ocean, or when I fractured my ankle by jumping over a bean bag chair. With multiple weeks spent in a boot and a slight but undeniable fear of rip currents, I’ve managed to gather an interest in orthopedics and ocean life; as a result, I have decided to research further into being a surgeon (specializing in orthopedics), and a marine biologist. These two careers contrast drastically, specifically in required education and salary, work environment, and job outlooks. Although being an orthopedic surgeon and a marine biologist both require a certain amount of extended education beyond high school, they contrast in how much is necessary. According to Barbara Sheen, “postsecondary aspiring surgeons must obtain a bachelor’s degree, which usually takes four years.
I am currently a junior at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am majoring in Environmental Studies with minors in both Philosophy and Anthropology. Over the last three years I have taken an array of courses covering topics in ecology, biology, botany, oceanography and resource management. Two of these courses, Environmental Sociology and Plants and Human Affairs, sparked my interest in the relationship between humans and the environment. This interest has inspired me to seek opportunities researching environmental stressors of ecosystems and their sociopolitical impacts on communities.
The ocean offers an empty canvas for scientists; with its enormous amount of undiscovered species and unexplored waters, the empty spaces are painted in with each discovery that adds to the wonders of the ocean. Marine biologists are given the opportunity to enter a world of discovery and preserve what is already familiar to society. Choosing to be a marine biologist opens many paths, allowing one to advance in the world of science with plenty of success while not reaching a dead end. Becoming a marine biologist requires a specific type of education depending on the field chosen. According to What is a Marine Biologist? “…the education requirement for a marine biologist is a bachelors or masters degree” (What is a Marine Biologist?) and is
A liberal education is the main goal of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh through the University Studies Program (USP), which allows students to become educated in all areas of study, ultimately preparing them for all the challenges and experiences life can have. Sustainability and the environment are two very important issues on campus, and because of that central focus, there are countless ways the efforts of the University are visible. After only being on campus for three weeks, I have learned countless things about myself as well as my education, and I have already seen remarkable efforts to preserve the environment all across campus, particularly in Sage Hall. The conversations from class have solidified my choice in choosing to attend
As an undergraduate student I became fascinated with a number of academic specialties that allowed me to access the diverse world around me. My intellectual curiosity and varied interests in themes of gender, culture, social justice and environmental change set me on a wide trajectory of careers in academia, private, nonprofit, and government agencies. My first position as an undergraduate was with the World Wildlife Fund, preserving coastal forests in Kenya. After graduation, I was employed to work as a biological technician for a private environmental group collecting data on the rapidly decreasing Myotis, (bat) populations in the Eastern United States. From these positions I began to learn about the intricate politics of environmental protection
I am interested in participating in the "6 Degrees of Influence: Understanding the Interconnectedness of Earth Systems" research project because I have a deep appreciation for interdisciplinary programs. I am genuinely interested in this particular research program because this unique model exposes students to the role liberal arts plays in STEM research. Furthermore, this exposure to STEAM is complimented by the opportunity to conduct research and connect the research project to global issues. I would appreciate the opportunity to expose myself to earth science and gain knowledge on the different ways earth science impacts my community and other communities as well. I will use the information I gain from this program to encourage my peers
Grasshoppers are nasty; they have weird antennae that flow in the breeze, eyes disproportional to their small body, and scare me when armies of them bound from uncut grass, declaring war on my legs and feet. Riding the bus earlier this year, one of these terrifying creatures decided to tag along for the ride. Being a senior, I should have known better than to cower at the thought of an insect leaping onto me. However, my knight in shining armor came to save the day; a seven year old boy named Nate took off his sandal and smashed the bug against the seat. He grinned from ear to ear when he saw relief flood my face.
My passion is biology and after spending last summer at UT Austin, conducting research with Dr. Palmer, I knew that UT Austin would be the best fit for me. I hope that the additional information I provide in this letter and the additional recommendations from Dr.Palmer and Mr. Gillam, my ISEF mentor, will assure the admissions committee that I am a qualified candidate for the biology program at the College of Natural Sciences. If I had taken the time to research the Biology Major at UT, I would have known that the Department of Molecular Biosciences has close associations with the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, which would have offered me the strong foundation in both microbiology and computational sciences that I desired. I should have applied as
I am the one who want to explore concepts of ecology as they relate to environmental issues. The biggest question that I always ask me that, what does Ecology have to do with me? This question never get the answer and might get answer while attending this course. Research and establish educational, career, and professional goals related to the field of environmental science are my first priority. This is what makes me to learn how we can Improving Our environment, and public health.
“Dude I just don’t believe that evolution is real.” “What?!?! , why? There is so much evidence to support the theory of evolution.” “In my eyes, I haven't found any evidence that supports evolution so I just don’t believe it.” “Well I’ll show you plenty of evidence that supports it.”
I had never seen anyone who is utterly obsessed with plants until I looked in the mirror. I was in middle school when I realized not everyone (actually hardly anybody) thought plants were cool. It wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I decided to pursue something involving it. I love ecology and I love genetics, so when my AP Biology teacher told me that molecular ecology is a mix between the two, I was thrilled. I’m now a freshman in college, and I’ve never had the opportunity to do any type of research, so when I discovered that the Harvard Summer Research Program is for undergraduates and involves ecology, I immediately started my application.
BIOLOGY RESEARCH ESSAY There is great speculation around evolution. As we are continually in the process of discovering the history of human beings, there are many questions surrounding this topic. One very interesting question is why ancient ancestors of homo-sapiens evolved to walk upright like we do today. An apes’ DNA is astonishingly similar to that of a humans, (97% the same) and yet, our bones’ shapes and structure are very different.
