I don’t have any first-hand knowledge about medical technology. I have never even stepped foot into a hospital unless on my own accord. The only time I’ve been at the hospital is when I would be swinging by to maybe talk to my mom for a minute as she is an ER nurse. From what I do know, medicine is what comforts or cures sickness. It has been the story of time, experts in the medical field trying to cure and control diseases. Sadly, it is something that will always be important and never go away as there is always some disease that needs to be cured or stopped. Park (2002), discussing Medicine in Antiquity in the NBCI, (National Center for Biotechnology Information) , states that "a ncient medicine was the mothe r of science and played a large role in the integration of early culture.” This Integration of early culture, has seen medicine evolve and endure many changes, so much so that its definition has broaden from its usual scientific meaning. Many people think it is...

                    To be quite honest, there isn’t a lot that interests me in the science field. I don’t wake up and think to myself, “hmm I wonder what I’m going to learn today in science”. All throughout high  school, I stayed away from science at all costs. I know that that is an awful thing to say as there is so much to be discovered and explored in science as well as it is the foundation of life as we know it, but that is just how I was. If anything, robotics was and is the one thing that DOES get my very minimal science urges and desires flowing. It always interested me, all the seemingly impossible contraptions I would see in high school. The art and science that goes into the creation and effectivity of robotics are truly mesmerizing. It also happens that one of my all-time favorite movies is Wall-e, which features a robot as the main character. I am not ashamed to say this kid movie is one of my favorite...

To begin, before taking this class, I never thought I would become so interested in the arts and sciences. I always envisioned myself doing something in Law and never took into consideration that perhaps there is more to life than my interests in history and the government. I think this experience not only opened my eyes to something new but also opened doors for future endeavors. I never realized how good it is to put yourself into new situations. Before this class, I don’t think I would have ever ventured to the California NanoSystems Institute. Now I find myself eager to go b ack and see future presentations. I was fortunate enough that my practice ended earlier than usual as I found myself in the presence of Professor Taylor and all he had to offer. First off, what a concept! Professor Taylor showed us the viewpoint of birds through his virtual reality experience. As he started to talk about this topic, I didn’t see the true value and what this experience would have to offe...
