In high school, I took biology freshman year, chemistry sophomore year, physics junior year, and computer science senior year. I have always been more interested in the technology based sciences. Since my major is computer science, I get to take a lot of courses about software and hardware development/engineering.
It has been quite a long time since I have studied biology, so I am excited to see what I remember and also learn more about what I don’t know. I am mostly looking forward to learning about not just the specific processes and definitions that make up biology, but also how it applies to our day to day lives.
I believe that the outreach with Clarke Central High School students project is the most interesting and beneficial project. Every student will be able to collect their own samples and test them, which gives everyone their own results and sense of involvement in the project. I haven’t had any experience with a project like this, but it seems like an exciting opportunity. I think other students would enjoy this too because it is dealing with harmful bacteria that can end up affecting the entire world.
The harmful bacteria we would research in the outreach with Clarke Central High School is an issue that I haven’t heard of until today. This is something that I am sure a lot of others don’t know about that we can raise awareness for. We could learn if there is anything we could do to help or if there are things that other companies can change to prevent these bacteria from forming and spreading.
I want to learn more about the environmental effects of human actions. I want to know more about how human actions with the environment has harmed or changed the climate on earth.
