Marine Biology The field of marine biology‚ the study of organisms within their environment of an ocean‚ lake‚ or river‚ has a very broad range of occupations. Marine biologists try to discover how organisms grow and develop‚ how they get food‚ how their bodies function‚ and how their life relations correspond to other organisms. They also use laboratory experiments to increase knowledge of human life processes. This is a great career for me to enter because there are so many opportunities to

A marine biologist examines the functions of all living organisms in the sea and estuaries. They are able to conduct multiple experiments and can choose to specialise in various sizes of marine life. I am interested in becoming a marine biologist because sea creatures and science are two of my passions‚ especially conducting experiments to determine solutions for animal sicknesses. There are many aspects involved in being a marine biologist‚ employees are always using numerical and statistical skills

Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time is written by Dava Sobel. The book is called Longitude because it is about a clock maker who was able to determine longitude. Determining longitude was the superlative scientific question in the eighteenth century that Galileo and Newton were not able to resolve. The principal inspiration behind the invention completed in this book is that many sailors were lost at seas as a result of their ignorance
