Edmund Beecher Wilson There have been a huge amount of scientists who have made extremely important contributions that help us better understand science today. More specifically, many have made contributions to the field of genetics. Now we better understand genetics and can learn from the experiments and findings of great scientists from the past. Edmund Beecher Wilson was one of those great scientists, having been a pioneering American zoologist and geneticist. He was the son of a circuit judge, but instead of going into the field of law, he chose to study biology at Yale University.
The progress of clinical psychology has been continuous with a steady flow of fresh scientific data in physics, biology, technology, and chemistry. Freud and psychoanalytic beliefs added to the thoughts, which provoked the idea of personal uniqueness in therapeutic creation, which remains an important foundation to clinical psychology. Clinical psychology upholds the distinctness from other disciplines, although the entity of professions associated with mental health entwine the main intention to include human psychological necessities and supply a sensible and lasting capability to flourish, accommodated analytically for the human
As an experienced writer, Reilly has done his research on the topic that he is trying to convince his readers to support. The facts that he uses are placed perfectly making any reader gasp about the amount of fatalities because of malaria. He uses credible sources such as the World Health Organization (Glau, Maid, Roen 465) to back up his facts and makes the reader trust that he knows what he is talking about. Reilly also integrates quotes in his article to show that he is not the only person that is aware of the problem occurring. By using outside sources, Reilly increases his credibility as a writer because it is not just his opinion or facts that he could be making up.
In 1942, a year after he was made a diplomat of surgery by the American Board of Surgery at Johns Hopkins University, he became the first African American surgeon to serve as an examiner on the board. Charles Richard Drew was the oldest of five children. He was born on June 3, 1904, in Washington, D.C. His father was Richard T. Drew, a carpet layer, and Nora Drew, a school teacher and graduate of Miner Teachers College. As a student, Drew excelled in academics and sports, winning four swimming medals by the age of eight. In 1922 he graduated from Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, where he received the James E. Walker Memorial Medal in his junior and senior years for his athletics in sports, including football, basketball, baseball, and track.
His parents, Luther and Maud Powell, immigrated to the United States from Jamaica. He went to school in New York City, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in geology from the City College of New York in 1958. He later earned a Master of Business Administration degree from The George Washington University. This was only the start of his life since he later has been in many influential governmental positions. He was extremely successful in life since he went from the streets of Harlem to a former significant chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and highly respected military roles.
The experiment was repeated with many flasks under many different conditions. The result was always the same. Factors that helped his work are, there were microscopes so he could see the microorganisms. He had training so he knew what he was looking for and how to do it and he was able to work in a science lab so he had all the equipment he needed to do his experiment. Importance of Pasteur’s work is he proved the germ theory so that Jenner’s vaccination was accepted.

It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what’s going on”, said by the famous Jacques Cousteau. There are so many scientists to thank but I will focus on George Washington Carver, James Watson and Francis Crick. The discoveries made by theses scientists have turned our world into what it is today. For us to have all the incredible inventions we have today someone had to discovery it first and they did.
This quest for knowledge induced a time of experimentation to further intelligence pertaining to the drug. This led to experiments testing everything from autism to alcoholism. The government was also trying to exploit the drug for “mind control” use (Inside LSD). One example that proved LSD had a positive use was Dr. James Fadiman’s experiment on administering large doses to scientists participating in his study. The data compiled revealed that all the problems they had addressed during the experimentation were solved more intelligibly and creatively.
I have fallen in love with the ISU campus after seeing it first-hand in July. The open campus is very pleasant and comfortable. I have met many alumni from Illinois State University who have only positive things to say about the school and its courses. My best friend is also thinking about applying at ISU. His father, Tom Rosko, is a graduate of ISU who is encouraging me to attend the school because of its great academic curriculum.
His inquisitive mind pushed him to understand and search for “the Philosopher’s Stone and the Elixir of Life.” (Shelley 23). The Stone and Elixir are the sum and goal of the alchemist’s work, which esoterically transforms the base into spiritual essences, opens the doors to the knowledge of creation, and gives the possessor eternal life. This esoteric seed of science was planted in his mind at the age of thirteen when he came across the writings of Paracelsus and Agrippa. (Shelly 22). Victor’s desire to acquire all the written works from these authors inevitably brought him to the knowledge of the homunculus- a being created through alchemy.
