forensic science from the readings all have backgrounds that would provide them with sufficient enough knowledge of the discipline to deliver meaningful criticisms. For example, Arvizu (2000) is a chemist, who has managed an analytical laboratory, and she is a quality consultant who has managed a laboratory evaluation program for a federal agency. She has also performed dozens of independent audits of laboratories. Other critics, Saks and Koehler (2008), have a background and professional degree in

difference between different glass types should be known as different experiments require different types of glassware and it is supposed to be handled delicately because for example – different experiments require different glassware and if a weak glass is used by mistake in an experiment it could get damaged or shattered/crack. Another example is a centrifuge, knowledge of what it does and how it works to set it up for an experiment. A basic knowledge is for a scientist is needed of equipment to ensure

study, researchers say the treatments do nothing to help the patient, who were given six months or less to live. The scientists followed more than 300 adults, who all had solid-tumor cancers that had spread to other parts of the body. After the patients had died, the researchers asked the families or caregivers about the patient’s quality of life. Most reported their quality of life was much worse than it was before receiving the chemo. For the patients who were weaker when the study started

population has been increasing exponentially, and our earth sources have been depleting sharply. For this reason, scientists have been trying to find new kinds of resources that can protect earth sources and serve for long term. These renewable resources are important for our plant and our life as humans. There are different kinds of renewable resources that used to generate electric power such as solar and wind power. Recently, scientists created a new kind of renewable power which is tidal power. Tidal
