We know there many talented individuals that is blanked throughout the world past and present. Talent is marked in every race, but some people just don’t get enough credit and many individual are over look for the great work they have done. Most people may not have heard of Ernest Everett, but he was a great scientist in his time. Ernest Everett graduated from Dartmouth College in 1907 and continued to the University of Chicago earning his Ph.D. in zoology in 1916. It was very difficult for him being a colored man and attending college in those times, but his ambition and determination drove him to succeed. Earnest Everett was an extraordinary marine biologist who was very innovative when it came to many important discoveries, which include
This suggests that their focus on the rivalry took away from their focus on work. The author's method of developing this idea was to state examples of mistakes created by both men.Like I stated before, Cope made a mistake when he wroteand drew his new discovery,the Elasmosaurus, which publically humilated him." Marsh crowed about the blunder to anyone who would listen." The author also talks about Marsh's mistake in his discovery of the Brontosaurus;this mistake wasn't noticed until hundreds of years later. While the men had made mistakes they also made major discoveries. The text states that"Cope and Marsh discovered more than 130 dinosaur species." The text also states that "Their teams dug up so many bones that scientists are still learning new things about them." This shows that many scientists still gain information from the discoveries of Cope and Marsh. The author's use of these details show Cope and Marsh's great effects in the world of science.The way the author developed this part of the third central idea is by stating their positive
African American Contributions in Science Throughout American history, many African Americans have been overlooked in the field of science. Some powerful minds and great inventors haven’t been re-introduced to new generations. African Americans have contributed a great deal to the advancements of our country and one of the major fields they have made contributions to is in the field of science. Many successful African Americans have been overshadowed by their Caucasian counterparts.

“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything” - Plato. This means that you can always do what you want to do like fly for instants. You can sit and imagine flying but some other people get up and actually fly. In this essay I am going to explain Eugene Ely’s childhood, the beginning of his career, his significant accomplishments, and the impact he put on the world.

Elmer’s magnetic recordings have been restored of his preaching and music. This CD is dedicated to his family.
Theodore W. Richards received the nobel prize in 1914 for his “accurate determinations of the atomic weight of a large number of chemical elements.” (Source ) He was born January 31st, 1868 in Germantown, PA, USA. William Trost Richards, his father, was a very famous landscape artist at the time and his mother, Anna, won her fame through poetry. While growing up, Theodore’s parents brought him to England and France. At the age of fourteen he was educated by his mother.
William Edward Boeing was a very intelligent and motivated man. He created the Boeing Company. William Edward Boeing was born on October 01, 1881, in Detroit, Michigan. William Edward Boeing is named after his father. His fathers real name is "Wilheim Boing" but he got his name retranslated to "William Boeing" after he moved to America. William Edward Boeing is the first child of William Boeing and Marie Ortmann. William's father was a vet of the "Austro-Prussian War." His father "immigrated to the states back in 1868 from North Rhine-Westphalia." He was a volunteer to carry letters of introduction to German families in Detroit.

Two of his sons were in the rock music world and the third is a journalist. Growing up in Brooklyn he went to a public school. His older brother was always considered a genius.

For thousands of years the ocean has helped species survive. An interesting quote said by John F. Kennedy the 35th president stated; “We all came from the sea. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea whether it is to sail or to watch it-we are going back from whence we came.” (Association) People around the world go through years of education just to understand the plentiful information that the ocean has to offer. Once those new researchers go through the years...
Through his brilliance of pen to paper, he provided meaning and direction for those lost in the creation of a new post-war, modernist society. He cleared the path for those struggling to self-identify and individualize. Through a vast collection of poetry and short novels, Cummings played a significant role in the modernist movement of literature. “E.E. Cummings was, without a doubt, one of the most startling poetic innovators to write in the English language. Each stanza, each line, each word demands separate explication in relation to the content in which occurs” (Stanley). Cummings served as one of the most distinguished ambassadors of a new image of the world, with special emphasis on race, gender, regional perspectives, love/sexuality, ethnicity, and stylistic approaches to literary creativity and formatting.
John Haven Emerson was born February 5, 1906 in New York City. He was the son of Dr. Haven Emerson (A highly respected New York City Commissioner of health for many years). John Emerson was a self-taught American inventor of biomedical devices. Emerson specialized in respiratory equipment. (www.poliopalace.org,n.d.) In 1931, John Emerson introduced and improved upon a less expensive iron lung. The Emerson iron lung had a bed that could slide in and out of the cylinder as needed, and the tank had portal windows, which allowed attendants to reach in and adjust limbs, sheets, or hot packs. The patient lies within the chamber, which when sealed provides an effectively oscillating atmospheric pressure. The Emerson lung was lighter, quieter,
Curiosity, ambition, determination and passion are the core constituents that have driven me into the field of biology. I am a very analytical and a punctilious individual. I have always been fascinated by the components of biology since I was a child. I have always been curious and always had the desire to learn to enhance my knowledge. Hard-work and dedication are the building blocks for success. I can remember as a child picking up insects from outside and taking them inside my house to dissect them with a safety pin and play pretend that I was a biologists. I can remember in middle school entering a plethora of small school science projects and winning certificates for outstanding biology student. This immense inertia for investigation and careful scrutiny has propelled my love for science and will expand as I go in-depth in the field of biology. I love to solve complex problems and love being stimulated intellectually. I succeeded in advance biology when I was in high school and have done well in most of my biology classes in college. I have this unequivocal desire to achieve w...

It was at a young age that I fell in love with the ocean and the splendor of its biodiversity. It was when I gazed upon the magnificent blue waters of the world that I found my passion. At this young age, I decided that I would pursue a path that involved helping endangered marine organisms. Many conclude that I speak of the more common marine animals, such as dolphins and whales. However, that is not the case. My passion lies with the “Rainforests of the Sea”, the coral reefs.
