In “10 Ways Technology Will Change The World By 2025” by Rebecca Borison, the author argues that scientist Thomas Reuters believes that by the year 2025 technology in the world will change in a big way. According to the article by identifying problematic DNA, scientists will be able to produce actual technology to fight the biological decline of one's mental capacity. By 2025, methods for harvesting, storing, and converting solar energy will be advanced enough to make it the primary source of energy

ew species remain the same as their prehistoric ancestors, hence the naming of such species today as living fossils. One such species survived and thrived for millions of years, outlasting the dinosaurs and countless other species. However, due to a sudden increase in hunting and rapid urbanization in the last few decades, this species now teeters on the edge of extinction; as of 2004, the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species has labeled the Giant Chinese Salamander as a critically endangered species

him above the other creatures of the earth? The power of his brain to reason.” Aside from evolution being on trial, the right to think is also on trail in the Scopes case. Evolution is change of species over time, not saying we came from apes. You can believe in evolution without it contradicting your religion. Through Inherit the Wind, by Jerome Lawrence and the Scopes Trial I have learned a lot about evolution and how it might of happened. Inherit the Wind and the Scopes trial have very different

Coral Fossils Coral fossils allow us to follow the earth’s history and understand what really happened all those years before man was created. Corals are part of a group of animals called Cnidaria. Cnidaria includes animals such as sea anemones, jellyfish, and hydras. These animals have tentacles or multiple arms that allow them to grab food floating around them. These corals have stinging tentacles. Scientists study many cnidarian fossils because there is an abundance of fossil records. These

Thinking and believing are separate in religion and science. "Inherit the Wind", by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, details a trial surrounding a teacher, Bertram Cates, who taught Darwinism over Creationism. Matthew Brady was hired to represent the state, and Henry Drummond was hired to defend Cates. Brady centers life around religion and uses the Bible to build his case. Drummond believes the state wants to control education. The trial concludes with Drummond using Brady's own thinking against

Earth has been changing since the beginning of time. Theories like continental drift, plate tectonics, and sea-floor spreading explain what the earth used to look like and why it looks like it does today. Continental drift states that all the continents used to all be one supercontinent called Pangaea, and over the last 200 million years, the continents slowly drifted apart to where they are now (Evers 1). The theory of tectonic plates states that all the continents and oceans sit on plates or large

Pacific gray whales have been going extinct for a while, not only these gray whales, but pacific whale and Atlantic gray whales have been going extinct.Scientist have been keeping their minds open to the idea of crossbreeding this species together. And with newly found research on their migration patterns they have some new progress. Scientist are always trying to save endangered species that are dying from human causes or just the species own genetic diversity.The pacific whales and their other

Species Profile of the Canada goose (Branta canadensis) I. Introduction -Why I choose this organism? I choose the Canada goose (Branta canadensis) because it was one of the specie that I didn’t know too much about it and encounter this specie really fascinating over all. Over the two years I have been working on Fort Belvoir I had discovered that this species is protected and by doing this presentation I had plan to discover why and what is the story behind this. In this presentation I will try

Biological Debridement Biological debridement is a procedure where a doctor suggest the use of living organisms to remove dead tissue so the healing process of the wound can begin. The living organisms are live blow fly larvae (maggots). The maggots are sterile and have been disinfected in a controlled lab. Biological debridement has been around for many years. William Baer was one of the first in the northern hemisphere to deliberately administer larvae to a patients wound. In the 1920s he

Conclusion To conclude, black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) demonstrated an improved long-term reproductive success until a disproportionate ratio of helpers to breeders (exceeding amount of helpers to breeders) became injurious to the coterie. Our results demonstrated, to some extent, that the helper pool size improves long-term reproductive success of black-tailed prairie dogs, agreeing with Hoogland’s 1981. Our results resolve the conflict between John L. Hoogland and Michener and
