Science and I? More like science and we! Everyone and everything around us is impacted and impacts the way we as individuals and organisms live! Science has impacted my life unto which I have been able to grow and learn as a student in the classroom and as a conservative for our planet! Through simply understanding how recycling works to using less paper towels in the bathroom and kitchen, I have been able to change my lifestyle around to accommodate to what is best for my living conditions and the future!
On a regular basis, I think more about science than I actually know about. With an intricate mind like mine, I constantly think about the weather and what I should do to best prepare myself for my day. As to thinking about the weather, I also think about the food that I put into my body and the effects it has on my health. Thinking about food and weather seem to be very distinct subjects, but to scientists, it has more of a broadened and abstract ideology. Macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, and micro-molecules as your vitamin A.B,C,D,E, and K, and weather patterns as cold fronts and warm fronts, scientists predict and tell others about information through social media, forums, and the news! I currently do not follow any scientific outlets, but I do follow political forums that display sections of scientific data, facts, ideas, and theories. The Huffington Post is my main news forum where I obtain my information from for scientific news.
Science is something that we roughly touch on in my family. None of us truly focus on factual science, rather political science, so I guess you could say we touch on a variation of science! I truly never became interested in science until my freshman year of high school when one of my favorite biology teachers worked and helped me develop a broader understanding for science. Then onto sophomore year and my junior year when I took Chemistry and Zoology! I was able to develop a different understanding for this subject. Within the progress of taking these classes, my school was transitioning into a health science program for the health sciences. I was able to be a catalyst for this program and help many other students transition into this program my senior year. I then truly found that between science and others, it was more than just a subject taught in school, but it was something that truly changes lives. I truly never hated or loved science, I just never understood it, and to this day it has always been something that I can say, that has changed my life.
This is a really great post! You touch on a lot of subjects that help the reader understand exactly what science means to you and how you involve yourself in it in your daily life. I really like the formatting of your blog and this post, it has a really nice aesthetic. There isn't much I think you really need to work on because honestly it was a really good post with a lot of interesting detail.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a great idea to not only talk about what aspects of science interest you and your experience with them, but also to talk about how science has impacted you as an individual as well as your lifestyle choices. I found it to be a very interesting read and look forward to looking at your future posts.
ReplyDeleteGreat first post Niklas, although I think I would change the font so that it's white instead of black with a white highlight. I think simpler is better and this comment shows up nicely against the black. I enjoyed getting to know you a bit more through this reflection. So, remind me what your major is again? Are you doing political science? Would you describe yourself as an environmentalist? The fact that you brought conservation at the very beginning of the post suggests to me that this is something that plays a big role in your life and that you feel strongly about. Have you considered studying environmental policy? Seems like it would be a good fit! Looking forward to reading more posts and hearing more of your thoughts through our class discussions.
