It seems like a philosophical question to ponder what life is. Although much of biology informs us of how life operates on Earth, this science also confines itself to Earth.

Ever since I’ve been in school, there’ve been hundreds and hundreds of lectures and lessons I’ve been forced to listen to. These range from pure fact dropping, to trying to teach us a skill. As someone with an attention issue, it’s always been hard for me to focus on exactly what is happening in front…
Hey all, I thought I’d try something different to blog on. I’ll be sharing a new gem I discovered which is definitely worth a read. Don’t be confused by the name; though it might be a book, it is on the topic of the clashing fields of ethics and medicine. To be honest, I’m not…
In this blog, I will talk about the marine mammal summer program I attended this summer, and why I would recommend it to anybody. I was researching science-related summer programs one day when I came across St. Mary University’s website. It described a hands-on marine biology program that was 10 days long at St. Mary’s…

Science programs can be divided by their research methods. Due to the nature of the respective majors, much of the research in Chemistry will be through lab work, while much of mathematics research would be through computational methods. This divide is significant due to the fact that the majority of “lab” sciences courses require you…

So there I was, walking through the evening rush at Stephen Avenue. People were filtering out of buildings, for it was finally time to go back home and relax with a cup of coffee on that chilly (summer/fall) day. Music resonating in my ears, I stumbled (literally stumbled- I had tripped on my own feet…
