Biology is a hugely important field dealing with everything from the identification of plants, to the study of genetics, to the relationship between the climate and organisms. Though Aristotle is said to be the “father” of biology, it hasn’t been until the last two hundred years that the true importance of the science has emerged. […]
You’ve always wondered how the world works. Why star patterns change throughout the year. Or how trees change their colors in the Fall. Or perhaps, what would happen if everyone on Earth jumped up and landed at the same time. This scientific impulse — to question how the world works, and proceed to find answers […]
The curing and management of diseases have been one of the central aspirations of humans since the dawn of time. Today is no different. Only, for those with a calling to help care and cure for others, there are more ways than ever to get involved. Medicine is one of the most important applied sciences, […]
IMAGE SOURCE What is Forensic Anthropology? Forensic anthropology is a specialty of physical anthropology (the study of human remains). These scientists assist in the identification of deceased people whose bodies are badly burned, decomposed, mutilated, or otherwise difficult to identify. Their examination of the physical characteristics of an individual, such as skeletal abnormalities can help determine cause […]
If you have done well in science and math classes in the past, you’re probably thinking of majoring in a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subject in college. That is often a smart choice, since STEM occupations often offer high wages, a positive job outlook and more prestige than many majors in the arts […]
Careers in the health industry are consistently in demand. However, students who want to work in healthcare have so many options to consider: doctor, nurse, technician and even biomedical engineer. If you are torn between pursuing a biomedical engineering degree and a traditional medical degree, you need to think about all of the pros and […]
Biomedical engineering is the intersection of engineering science and design with medical science and the health care industry. If you choose to major in biomedical engineering, you will attain an interdisciplinary education that combines studies in science, math and engineering design with a focus on engineering concepts and systems as they related to the life […]
As you explore different engineering programs, trying to decide which major is the best fit for you, you might wonder how agricultural engineering and environmental engineering compare. Both branches of engineering are likely to appeal to students who are outdoorsy as well as creative, curious and resourceful. However, both the curricula that makes up these […]
IMAGE SOURCE What they do Before answering the captioned question…a crime lab technician or forensics science technician is a professional involved in technical work inside a forensic laboratory. Much of their work involves preparing and analyzing samples as to support forensic research, although they are also often engaged in quality control and quality assurance checks […]
IMAGE SOURCE The term forensic science involves forensic (or forensis, in Latin), which means a public discussion or debate. In a more modern context, however, forensic applies to courts or the judicial system. Combine that with science, and forensic science means applying scientific methods and processes to solving crimes. The field of forensic science draws from a number of scientific branches, including physics, […]
