We know there many talented individuals that is blanked throughout the world past and present. Talent is marked in every race, but some people just don’t get enough credit and many individual are over look for the great work they have done. Most people may not have heard of Ernest Everett, but he was a great scientist in his time. Ernest Everett graduated from Dartmouth College in 1907 and continued to the University of Chicago earning his Ph.D. in zoology in 1916. It was very difficult for him being a colored man and attending college in those times, but his ambition and determination drove him to succeed. Earnest Everett was an extraordinary marine biologist who was very innovative when it came to many important discoveries, which include
This suggests that their focus on the rivalry took away from their focus on work. The author's method of developing this idea was to state examples of mistakes created by both men.Like I stated before, Cope made a mistake when he wroteand drew his new discovery,the Elasmosaurus, which publically humilated him." Marsh crowed about the blunder to anyone who would listen." The author also talks about Marsh's mistake in his discovery of the Brontosaurus;this mistake wasn't noticed until hundreds of years later. While the men had made mistakes they also made major discoveries. The text states that"Cope and Marsh discovered more than 130 dinosaur species." The text also states that "Their teams dug up so many bones that scientists are still learning new things about them." This shows that many scientists still gain information from the discoveries of Cope and Marsh. The author's use of these details show Cope and Marsh's great effects in the world of science.The way the author developed this part of the third central idea is by stating their positive
Edward Zigler initially wanted to pursue a career in a purely scientific field, preferably in a laboratory or in actual fieldwork. He reluctantly joined the ranks of what would become Project Head Start in 1964 due to his deep sense of patriotism and stated that he felt “drafted” once again (Zigler, 2003). Zigler felt as if he had been selected for this position by mistake. Quite unwillingly, Zigler was pushed into the role of an administrator, far from his chosen path of field scientist, and became part of the very establishment he fought so hard against in his younger days.
Duke Ellington, named Edward Kennedy Ellington at birth, was born on April 29, 1899, in Washington D.C. to James Edward Ellington and Daisy Kennedy Ellington. Both of Ellington’s parents were talented, musical individuals. Edward Kennedy was later nicknamed Duke by his childhood friend, Edgar McEntire and this name has stuck with him throughout his life and career. Duke Ellington was one of Jazz and Big Band’s most influential icons. He was known for famous recordings such as “Sophisticated Lady”, "Take the A Train," "It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got that Swing," and "Satin Doll," Duke Ellington started taking piano lessons at age seven and became more serious about his piano lessons after hearing a pianist who worked at Frank Holiday’s poolroom. He was fourteen and had started sneaking into the poolroom. After listening to the poolroom’s pianist, something was ignited within and he fell in love with the piano. Ellington was known for his ability to choose members for his band who possessed very unusual talents while playing their instruments. These talents included Bubber Miley, who used a plunger to make the "wa-wa" sound, and Joe Nanton, who was known for his trombone "growl." It was for this quality to find such unusual players and his ingenious ability to compose beautiful music that lead to Ellington’s huge success. Duke Ellington composed over 1,000 compositions right up until the day he died, May 24, 1974. Although Ellington was known as a huge figure in Jazz, his music spanned beyond the Jazz genre; it stretched into blues, gospel, popular, classical and film scores. Through his efforts and achievements, he has made Jazz more accepted as an art form and genre. Ellington had received 12 Grammy awards from 1959 to 2000...
Key Ideas and Details (a) What terms does Emerson use to describe society? (b) Interpret: According to Emerson, what is society’s main purpose? (c) Draw Conclusions: In what ways does Emerson believe people should be affected by the way others perceive them? a: He describes it in a conformist tone describing how they strive for consistency and are therefore cowards in their unwillingness to expand to new and unique ideas and ways of thinking.

For thousands of years the ocean has helped species survive. An interesting quote said by John F. Kennedy the 35th president stated; “We all came from the sea. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea whether it is to sail or to watch it-we are going back from whence we came.” (Association) People around the world go through years of education just to understand the plentiful information that the ocean has to offer. Once those new researchers go through the years...

It was at a young age that I fell in love with the ocean and the splendor of its biodiversity. It was when I gazed upon the magnificent blue waters of the world that I found my passion. At this young age, I decided that I would pursue a path that involved helping endangered marine organisms. Many conclude that I speak of the more common marine animals, such as dolphins and whales. However, that is not the case. My passion lies with the “Rainforests of the Sea”, the coral reefs.
Curiosity, ambition, determination and passion are the core constituents that have driven me into the field of biology. I am a very analytical and a punctilious individual. I have always been fascinated by the components of biology since I was a child. I have always been curious and always had the desire to learn to enhance my knowledge. Hard-work and dedication are the building blocks for success. I can remember as a child picking up insects from outside and taking them inside my house to dissect them with a safety pin and play pretend that I was a biologists. I can remember in middle school entering a plethora of small school science projects and winning certificates for outstanding biology student. This immense inertia for investigation and careful scrutiny has propelled my love for science and will expand as I go in-depth in the field of biology. I love to solve complex problems and love being stimulated intellectually. I succeeded in advance biology when I was in high school and have done well in most of my biology classes in college. I have this unequivocal desire to achieve w...
John Haven Emerson was born February 5, 1906 in New York City. He was the son of Dr. Haven Emerson (A highly respected New York City Commissioner of health for many years). John Emerson was a self-taught American inventor of biomedical devices. Emerson specialized in respiratory equipment. (www.poliopalace.org,n.d.) In 1931, John Emerson introduced and improved upon a less expensive iron lung. The Emerson iron lung had a bed that could slide in and out of the cylinder as needed, and the tank had portal windows, which allowed attendants to reach in and adjust limbs, sheets, or hot packs. The patient lies within the chamber, which when sealed provides an effectively oscillating atmospheric pressure. The Emerson lung was lighter, quieter,
