Life Sciences Personal Statement
I decided to study life sciences not only because my major requires it, but because I have a strong interest in learning about how the human body works and interacts in the universe. Being a pre-pharmacy major I am specifically interested in how the body reacts with taking certain medication, along with the side effects of taking the medication. Will a certain part of the body shut down with this medication, will the nerves not be triggered if a medication is taken, or what is the side effects if one medication is taken with another are a few questions I would like to be answered. I would like to understand how the body works on a deeper and more confusing level than I could even imagine now. Life sciences cover such a wide variety of careers

    Bio 101

    Organisms adapt to their environment but what happens when an organism’s surroundings and environment change? Physiological ecology is the study and understanding of that mechanism of living organisms and how living things work. Physiological ecology arises with an understanding of the influence of temperatures. Temperature, along with others, is one of the most important factors of Physiological ecology. “Water that is available is another major focus all the organisms that contain water in environments and disburse energy.” ("Adaptation", 2013). Many ecologists studying the importance of water in biological systems focus their research on desert species. When it comes down to most organisms locating energy and nutrients they need in order to grow and successfully reproduce is the most important and is a key part on how they adapt to their environment and surroundings. “An area that physiological ecologists are really focused on is the study of environmental stressors on organisms, for an example environmental stressors may take part in climate change, nutritional variability, disease and exposure to toxic”, ("Adaptation", 2013).…

    Norcal STEM Personal Statement

    Since I want to either attend the Columbia Pharmacology Graduate Program or pharmacy school, I appreciate the integration of chemistry, calculus, and physics into the biology coursework. I am interested in the Drugs and Behavior course so I can gain insight into my grandmother’s dependence on prescription drugs. She has sadly struggled with back pain for over 40 years. I seek to learn more about medications so I can help others pursue better treatments, protecting them from the pain my grandmother has suffered. In addition, the Biopharmaceutical Development & Regulation course can prepare me for a future career in the pharmaceutical industry.…

    Personal Narrative: My First Biology Test

    For my first biology test I received a grade that I am not proud of. To be completely honest the night before the test I attended a concert and didn’t get to sleep until two in the morning. This optical is defiantly something that I could have avoided. I should not have attended the concert, or at least I should have prepared myself weeks in advance knowing that I had a concert the night before. This is my second time taking the class and I expected better out of myself. I made the same mistake I did last year by not studying till the week of the test. Another obstacle was my interest, I am not interested in the topics we are discussing but as a student I need to ignore preference and work on doing my best. Most biology test is memory based…

    Why Should We Study Chemistry?

This will help me understand how chemicals will react to a human being. For instance, my grandmother has to take a lot of aspirin when I went to her doctor I asked why she had to take so much medication. My answer was clear, brief and to the point so basically she was preventing heart attacks by taking these small doses of aspirin. From what I understood the ingredients that make…
