Before starting college, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to major in or what career choice was the best for me, but I knew I had a deep passion for science. During my first semester, I took a course in biology and I immediately fell in love with it. I explored many topics in class, like genetics, evolution, and the human body. The more I read and dived into this course, the more ideas and questions popped into my head. I started having an inclination to the field of biology, knowing that it had the right answers to satisfy my thirst. Biology is the science of life and it explorers the structure and function of living systems. I love the complexity, the intricacy, and how ever-present the study of biology is, and I personally believe …show more content…
Working in the health care as a biologist will give me the chance to develop campaigns to treat illnesses such as AIDS, cancer, and many other lesser-known diseases. With further qualifications, I can also work as a doctor, nurse, a dentist, or as any other healthcare professional. With a biology degree, I will also be equipped to work within education. I will have the opportunity to work in a classroom, teaching students and encouraging them to learn more about the world we live in. Biologists can also take up a career in research, developing knowledge of the world around us. As a researcher, I can cover many areas such as health and disease, pharmacology, and even work within academic institutes. Moreover, there are many less typical careers I can pursue with a biology degree, one of them is having a career in biotechnology. Biotechnology is based on biology, and develops products that will help improve our lives and …show more content…
During my second semester at college, I took another biology course where I had to dissect a pig. I was somewhat nervous at first, but the clear view of the internal organs had me mesmerized. That was the first time I ever got to experience something like that and I had a mixture of emotions ranging from fear, to awe, and excitement. Right then, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in medicine, and I found that the idea of being able to do surgeries and explore the human body one on one is very appealing. Also, pursuing a career in medicine will allow me to help people and improve or maintain their health, and that is something I am very fond of. There is a great pleasure in knowing that you can save another human’s live and give them a chance to live another day. Having a degree in biology will provide me with a firm base as I prepare to embark on my medical journey, as well as sharpen my analytical
"If we recognize our talents, use them appropriately, and choose a field that uses those talents, we will rise to the top of our field," Dr. Ben Carson. If accepted into Cornell University, I would pursue a major in Biological Sciences. Aside from the impact of this major on our societal and collective evolution, I am inspired by the utility of the discipline. It is through the knowledge and application of biological sciences that we can achieve what was previously only dreamed of. Fascinated with biological science; fixated with medical mysteries, revolutionary medical discoveries, and the urge to make sense of the unknown is why I am pursuing this field of study. The application of biological sciences can be used to meet an objective or solve a problem; this and my innate sense of empathy towards the many adversities and wonders of life, amplifies my yearning to help others through the use of medicine.
A substantial part of the enjoyment that will come from pursuing a STEM degree is knowing it is something that I have always wanted to do since I was a young girl. When I was about 10 years old, I started to watch the Discovery Channel on television. These shows captured my attention and my love for science, and ultimately led me to want to pursue a career in the science field. Then, when I was a freshman in high school, I realized my true love of science from honors Biology and being introduced to the microscope. Now, three years later as a senior in high school, I am continuing my love of science by taking AP Biology. Throughout my life, my experiences have only strengthened my love and enjoyment in this field.
My affinity for biology comes from my childhood days that I spent watching dissection of rats and looking at the cellular structure under microscope. My mother, being a professor of biology regularly used to take me with her to a Biology lab and that is where my journey towards medical career began. Early on in my life, my family went through a long agony of my father's illness and death. This became a solitary stimulus for me to take up this profession and a driving force to strive for excellence. Going through that turmoil of recurrent hospital visits gave me a firsthand experience of an anguishing family.
Biology literally means "the study of life". Biology is such a broad field, covering the minute workings of chemical machines inside our cells, to broad scale concepts of ecosystems and global climate change. Biologists study intimate details of the human brain, the composition of our genes, and even the functioning of our reproductive system. Biologists recently all but completed the deciphering of the human genome, the sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bases that may determine much of our innate capabilities and predispositions to certain forms of behavior and illnesses. DNA sequences have played major roles in criminal cases (O.J. Simpson, as well as the reversal of death penalties for many wrongfully convicted individuals), as well as the impeachment of President Clinton (the stain at least did not lie). We are bombarded with headlines about possible health risks from favorite foods (Chinese, Mexican, hamburgers, etc.) as well as the potential benefits of eating other foods such as cooked tomatoes. Informercials tout the benefits of metabolism-adjusting drugs for weight loss. Many Americans are turning to herbal remedies to ease arthritis pain, improve memory, as well as improve our moods. Can a biology book give you the answers to these questions? No, but it will enable you learn how to sift through the biases of investigators, the press, and others in a quest to critically evaluate the question. To be honest, five years after you are through with this class it is doubtful you would remember all the details of meatbolism. However, you will know where to look and maybe a little about the process of science that will allow you to make an informed decision. Will you be a scientist? Yes, in a way. You may not be formally trained as a science major, but you can think critically, solve problems, and have some idea about what science can and cannoit do. I hope you will be able to tell the shoe from the shinola.
How would one know if there is life outside human life? Science makes that possible. Society would not know any type of information related to science, if there was no one investigating it. Thus, without the continuous advancements individuals produce, this information would still remain unknown. Physicists, microbiologists, scientists, biochemists, biologist and any other scientific-related career dedicate to further the growth in the scientific field. Endless effort is being implemented to give society the most efficient technology and up-date scientific findings.
In the degree that I am seeking I know there will be a lot of science to take. Science has always come natural to me, possibly because you can actually see the product and touch it. I plan to become a veterinarian not just for the love of animals but for the science and knowledge also. The dissecting of animals has always been interesting to me. It is a whole new world that I can wait to explore even more. It is amazing how God made living creatures. I just want to help keep them form getting sick and doctoring them when they do.
I would like this job because I could be In a office writing, conducting census projects, research studies, and conducting more experiments. But I could also go in to field work. Travel around the world to study these animals and there eco systems. The way some animals eat, the way they communicate, the way they feed. I could learn all these things while being in the field as an animal biologist. Even after being in the office and the field, I could still work in a zoo and have one on one with some animals.
Getting a major in biology will allow you to better your understanding of the world around you.
I believe that science is the embodiment of production. Science is what allows us to explore our oceans, colonise the galaxy, and adjust nature to our needing. A biological technician works in a laboratory to perform experiments, and analyze data. I would function as a great biological technician because one must be proficient in a minimum of chemistry, physics, and precalculus, as well as being disciplined, observant, and analytical. These qualities are parallel with my own, and describe the work I would enjoy.
Everything in the universe occurs for a reason and I believe science explains all these reasons. Besides this, science is all about the facts and this is why science has never fails to fascinate me. And nursing is more about science, which is why I have developed profound interest in this subject. I love the human biology, human physiology to be precise. I have always been intensely inquisitive in learning about the organs of the human body and have always wondered how they
The branch of biology that the book is about is biomedical research. Biomedical research is the study of health and diseases. I know the book is about biomedical research because it describes, in detail, different diseases that can affect a person's health and body.
It is an area of study where some great names have already left their mark, such as Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall as well as David Suzuki. So, if you would like to work with animals and have a career where your work makes a difference, then a zoology degree could be ideal for you. Zoology Degree Information Bachelor of Science in Zoology The Bachelor of Science in Zoology degree typically takes about four years to complete and involves courses that fullfill general education requirements along with major foundational
I have always been good at biology and mathematics. This is one reason why one of my many goals is to major in biomedical engineering. I am very excited to start studying biomedical sciences, and hope to use my newly learned skills in the medical field. Achieving a college education in such field will pave the road for my future career, by teaching and instilling knowledge that would not have been learned otherwise.
My desire of studying biomedical sciences stems from my sciences interest, as it demonstrates a world not visible to the naked eye, plays a big role in everyday life. science specifically biology and chemistry are stimulating and challenging subjects , over the years of studying them ,my interest has increased because learning things about how our bodies function and how it relates to god’s creation is particularly interesting for me. I also find it very important because I’m Muslim. The biomedical science degree will open for me the door to learn more about the vast field of biology and its branches to a greater depth. I developed my knowledge in the science field by taking support classes in the lab at school; I was fascinated by how the body can function in different circumstances and the complexity of DNA, different organisms, chemical reactions, and also very importantly the mathematical aspect which gives me the chance to develop and use my logic and it inform me to new ways of looking at given problems.
