Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Life

15 of 183

I remember my footie pajamas and my Care Bears blanket. It's one of the few memories of my early childhood that I can still close my eyes and see. I had a pretty good childhood. My parents divorced when I was a year and a half old, and my father chose not to keep in touch with me. My mom moved what few belongings he let us ta... More..

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Family

15 of 169

When it comes to families, I have a fairly dysfunctional family. They tend to drink a lot, one has schizophrenia, and most recently one has paved the way to spending the rest of his life in a federal prison, at least he will if he's convicted of his crimes (nothing violent of course, but never the less, it's a bad situation)....

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Things I'll go to hell for

2 of 22

I once told someone "I'm going to hell, who's coming with me!?" in response to them telling me that because I believed in evolution I was going to hell.

Genetics has very little to do with the ever increasing dinner plate sizes and super size options at fast food restaurants. The epidemic costs millions of taxpayers' dollars every year, yet food portions just keep getting ... More..

Something is leaving a bitter taste in citrus farmer's mouths in Florida, and it's not a particularly bitter grapefruit. Small psyllids are bringing an unwelcome visitor to citrus crops and it could lead to the collapse of the citrus industry, particularly in Florida.

Sciences > Microbiology The history of microbiology

10 of 12

Before there were computers, cars, cell phones, hospitals, even humans all together, there were microbes. Microbes have played a huge role in the history of mankind and continue to be a major player in medicine, food and drug development, and disease. Evidence of microbiology can be found in the Bible, historical Greek and Ro... More..

Particulate pollution, also known as particulate matter (PM), encompasses a wide array of airborne pollutants that can affect an individual's breathing and well being. The US EPA classifies PM in two categories: particulates that measure between 2.5-10 microns in diameter, and particulates that are less than 2.5 microns in di... More..

Sciences > Molecular Biology Molecular biology techniques: RNA interference

4 of 4

RNA interference, or RNAi, is an RNA-dependent mechanism that silences genes. RNAi is important in the gene silencing of developmental genes and show great potential for numerous fields of research. RNAi is commonly used to understand the function of genes in development, disease progression, reproduction, and upkeep of a gen... More..
