Science and I- How Science Has Influenced Me

     I have always had some sort of love for science. I wouldn't say that the small important details of science are something I enjoy, but the power of science is something that I fell in love with. As a kid I never knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life, but what I did know is that I wanted to help other people. Because of my passion for helping others and bettering peoples lives, I hope to use science in order to attend those in need. I am currently a Health Care Management Major with a Minor in Spanish. I hope to one day go into medical sales and work with prosthetic patients. I looked into many science fields and opportunities before I made my decision and decided that Health Care would be best for me.
     Having the opportunity to explore things in the science world that not everyone has the chance to do as a teenager is something that I am grateful for, because it has shaped my values and my goals. My passion for science and has encouraged me to want to use science in my everyday life no matter what I choose to do in the future.

    To know someone like you exists out there who is wanting and willing to help others causes my faith in humanity to increase, thank you. I also agree that science influences our everyday lives and that we take that into the future whether some agree with it or not.

    Good first post! I want to hear more details though. What is it about science that interests you? How will you use it to help others? What influenced your love for science? Did you enjoy the science classes you took in high school? What's your major and how did you decide on it? Looking forward to getting to know you better and hearing your thoughts in class.

"Good" and "Bad" Data

     Exploring data is something that comes up in our everyday lives. We view statistics of sports teams, use data in math and science, and hear stories of collected data on things like the news all the time. So considering that we hear, see and collect data all the time, how are we suppose to know if that data is valid, or just misleading?     We should always analyze our data, because you never know if what you are reading is true. Now, what makes data "good" data? When looking at a set of data or even a graph, you must make sure that you are able to comprehend the data. If it is easily understood, it is possible that the data could be accurate. Also make sure that the data is valid and relevant. Ask yourself, is this information plausible? Does it make sense? Is it possible for grandma to live to age 120? Or, does 101 sound more realistic? When it comes to graphs, always check that the axis are labeled, and that they correspond in some way. Also, consider th...

Helping People Understand Science

     A simple question: Why is it important to understand science? With science we are able to answer questions with quality, true information, as well as make technological advances and help us learn the  importance of the environment as well as even our own health.  Science isn't something that only scientist need to understand, it is important for everyday people as well. A disscusion made by Jonathon Garlick stated that "A recently elected senator has linked sealing the US- Mexican border with keeping Ebola out of the US, even though the disease is nonexistent in Mexico." This is an example of being misinformed about science; when people aren't knowledge on their science, they tend to spread information that is in fact false. Being an informed citizen makes conversations more productive and more educational as well as making your general academic knowledge useful. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2014/12/why-everyone-needs-to-understand-science/ ...
