The Radium Girls were female factory workers who contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials with luminous paint at the United States Radium factory in Orange, New Jersey, around 1917.’This statement/expiations was from the article called,” Radium Girls” from the wed cite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_Girls. The radium girl where started during the 1920’s when a” wristwatch with a glow-in-the-dark dial” (this is from the article called Mae Keane, One Of The Last 'Radium Girls,' Dies At 107 found in the link below.) Radium is a glowed and fizzed substance. Mae Keane from the article ‘Mae Keane, One Of The Last 'Radium Girls,' Dies At 107’ she say, ‘… she didn't like the taste of the radium paint. It was gritty’.
Gender diversity in STEM education and careers has always been an important issue to me, so reading about a college
In this paper I will be discussing how Boys and Girls Clubs are used as a deterrence method to keep “at-risk” children off the streets. These programs are all across the country in inner cities and in rural areas. I will be using the Boys and Girls Club to look at its relationship with Social Disorganization theory. The Boys and Girls Club has been around since 1860, when three women decided to open their doors to underprivileged boys. They “believed that boys who roamed the streets should have a positive alternative” (Boys & Girls Clubs of America).
I am grateful to all my teachers for teaching me valuable information about science, but I am desperate to know more. It will prepare me for my future interests and the knowledge will be extremely beneficial. During the service-learning opportunities, I am willing to do more than the 10-hour minimum to benefit the community as much as possible. I want to be a benefit to the community while expanding my knowledge in science as well. Though I have full schedule ahead of me, I promise to prioritize SNHS because it is my enjoyment and an opportunity
After receiving my PhD in Environmental Science and Public Policy from GMU, I will apply for post-doctoral fellowships at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Mote Marine Laboratory. There I can continue to perform research in the field of conservation biology for both nationally and internationally respected research programs while also learning from mentorships. During this time, and due to my graduate and post-graduate research, I will volunteer as an expert for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission. After completing my postdoctoral work, I will seek a position as an academic research scientist at a tier-one research university. As a professor, I want to engage students in research by becoming a mentor in an undergraduate research program if there is one.
Gender is defined as “a social position; the set of social arrangements that are built around normative sex categories,” while sex refers to “the biological differences that distinguish males from females,” (Conley 279). Gender is often thought of as exclusively masculine or exclusively feminine. These two groups are often applied to the sexes – males and females respectively, and end up making gender and sex seem synonymous. Biological males, the physically stronger sex, are expected to have so-called masculine traits such as aggressiveness and dominance; biological females, the physically weaker sex, are expected to have feminine traits such as kindness and compassion. The difference between the two is that while biological traits are unavoidable, gender is a very fluid non-binary spectrum and is socially constructed.
In my capacity at Fashion Institute I participated in its strategic planning process and at UMass-Boston lead campus-wide diversity planning efforts to infuse diversity not only into the university’s fabric but into it consciousness. What I have learned about myself over the years is that I thrive and thoroughly enjoy being part of the academic world. Brandeis besides being an educational powerhouse is on the forefront of innovation and global outreach. I admire the Brandeis accomplishments and its faculty and staff, the human capital, which drive the university. I further believe that its community encompassing philosophy, commitment to diversity and liberalism will continue to drive this university to greatness and I would be honored to
“You 're too big…You need to get the surgery done.” These hurtful statements are things my mother has said to me, whenever I ask her if I can be a model. Hurtful? Yes. Are those really her words?
I guess I should clear up a few things. I'm not asking that it's something we bring up at every single meeting, and I'm not saying we need to discuss the recent events in the media. It's just that one of the concerns that several of the undergrads and I had coming away from that meeting yesterday was that, basically we can only find out if someone in the department is guilty of something like this the same way we find out if his or her tests are hard: by talking to each other outside of class. The department has the right not to disclose that information, and that kind of information does not follow a person when they switch job, etc., and we find this enraging, as do many of the faculty, including Dr. Besla.
I served as a Tunnel of Awareness liaison and assisted a student taking part in the event to create an exhibit on homelessness that aimed to educate through one-on-one interviews. Currently, I serve on the Leadership and Service Team where I have the opportunity to work with Women’s Programs on the campus and coordinate innovative programs for female leaders on
I not only strive to apply scientific findings to treat my future patients, but also hope to gain inspiration from my patients to advance scientific knowledge. I believe the ideal way to apply my interests, and to best serve my community, is as a physician-scientist. The MD Anderson 1st Year Medical Student Program would offer me the opportunities
Participation in The Boy’s and Girl’s Club Keoni has been showing no interest in school and also stated that he has not been attending with little to no motivation. He also has stated that he does not even know what kind of job he would like to pursue if he was to find one. The concern I see that Keoni is currently facing is how he does not have enough support of peers or teacher’s that are involved in his life where they would be able to be a role model for him. The group intervention in this article for Keoni would be for him to enroll in the Boy’s
Though this is only an explicit stereotype they can be strengthened and become implicit, meaning, if there is a stereotype that women have low mathematical capabilities it might be strengthened by the fact that there are fewer women in STEM fields (Gilbert, 2015). Therefore, to weaken women’s explicit as well as implicit stereotypes regarding STEM it has been found that having female STEM role models would allow women to have a more positive outlook on STEM fields (Gilbert, 2015). By having women STEM role models, young girls are more likely to connect and be motivated by her accomplishments, allowing girls to understand that they too can reach their goals and become successful despite the belief of others (Gilbert,
General Topic Intergenerational justice is regarded as an important part of the theory of justice. This is because we now have an awareness of problems concerning compensation, savings and environmental issues, such as global warming. However, when it comes to intergenerational problems, moral judgement is difficult because of the non-identity problem. In 1984, Derek Parfit formulated the non-identity problem: suppose that a 14-year-old girl has conceived.
Personal variables are age, race, prior achievements, and self-conception. Environmental variables are related to home, teacher/classroom, peers, and media exposure. I highly recommend that researchers evaluate if faculty, at high school and at a university, strongly impacts students ' interest and studying habits in the undergraduate STEM field. In all fields with low gender equity the role of mentors is crucial. The lack of women in STEM fields creates a scarcity of female mentors for young women in STEM fields and therefore a lack of encouragement.
