...Abstract I interviewed Tyanisa Smart. Tyanisa works for Grifols which is a plasma center. She has been working for the company for 8 years. Grifols is one of the world’s largest plasma companies. Tyanisa is a Medical Operations Supervisor for Grifols. She gave me some information on the company history. She also explained what plasma was and what plasma was used for. She went over what type of degrees she had and how long it took her to grow with the company. Interviewing Tyanisa was very educational. I not only learned about plasma but I found out that donating plasma is in high demand. Tyanisa has been working for Grifols for 8 years. Tyanisa is a Medical Operations Supervisor for Grifols.

...Answers to Conceptual Integrated Science End-of-Chapter Questions Chapter 1: About Science Answers to Chapter 1 Review Questions 1 The era of modern science in the 16th century was launched when Galileo Galilei revived the Copernican view of the heliocentric universe, using experiments to study nature’s behavior. 2 In Conceptual Integrated Science, we believe that focusing on math too early is a poor substitute forconcepts. 3 We mean that it must be capable of being proved wrong. 4 Nonscientific hypotheses may be perfectly reasonable; they are nonscientific only because they are not falsifiable—there is no test for possible wrongness. 5 Galileo showed the falseness of Aristotle’s claim with a single experiment—dropping heavy and lightobjects from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. 6 A scientific fact is something that competent observers can observe and agree to be true; a hypothesis is an explanation or answer that is capable of being proved wrong; a law is a hypothesis that has been tested over and over and not contradicted; a theory is a synthesis of facts and well-tested hypotheses. 7 In everyday speech, a theory is the same as a hypothesis—a statement that hasn’t been tested. 8 Theories grow stronger and more precise as they evolve to include new information. 9 The term supernatural literally means “above nature.” Science works within nature, not above it. 10 They rely on subjective personal experience and do not lead to testable hypotheses. They lie outside...
