The common term for “Biology” is “Life Science.” The meaning is self-explanatory. Biology is the science of living things. It can be broken into two basic branches viz. zoology and botany. Zoology is the study of animals and botany is the study of animals.

But what do biologists do? Biologist is a scientist whose discipline is biology. They study living organisms and the relationship they share with the surrounding environment. The fundamental job of a biologist is research based. There are two kinds based on the objective of the research. Basic research is thoroughly academic and the biologists involved in basic research try to shed light on the mechanisms and workings of living organisms. The second one is applied research where biologists attempt to materialize the practical aspects of the research. They try to make use of the knowledge to bring about advancement inmedical, industrial and agricultural fields.

The field of biology is very diverse and each section is equally important and fruitful as well so it is not easy to answer the question- what do biologists do? Following are the sections in which biologists work:

Plants, animals, biochemistry, biotechnology, cell and microbiology, genetics and evolutionary sciences, environmental and ecological studies, classification and taxonomy, animal and plant morphology, molecular biology, cytology, pharmacy etc.

The second most important job of a biologist apart from research is Health Care. Health care comprises of the studies done to defeat illnesses and diseases which were earlier considered incurable. And consequently carrying out campaigns and awareness programs to let the people know if they are suffering from such a disease that they can be cured. In an area where there is an epidemic, biologists try to hinder the ascent of the deadly disease so that lives could be saved. Physicians, medical experts, nurses, dentists, physiotherapists and Ayurved specialists work to sustain the health and the general well being of the population. They perform a very crucial role in the society and hold a respectful position accordingly. Veterinarians tend diseased animals. They have a very critical job. Poultry farms, stables, people having pets and the like owe the well being of these animals to the veterinarians. Without them, the successful establishment of such businesses is an impossible task.

Then comes another important role biologists play in the sustenance of the society- Environmental and ecological management. It is a fact that we are responsible for our future generations. If we ruin the ecological balance which is already very fragile, we will be held accountable for the problems the upcoming generations are going to face. So it is our foremost priority to preserve the environment and put a halt to any further deterioration. Biologists study the problems we are facing right now and try to devise the solutions for them. To preserve the food chain, the endangered species are being nurtured in national parks. Public is being made aware of the problems we can create for the future world because of our frivolous and reckless attitudes. The conversation of the nature and mother earth is vey essential and biologists are taking the judicious steps in order to get things straight again.

There are career opportunities galore in the field of biology. Few of them are listed below:

• Biotechnology is the upcoming boom in the field of life sciences which can be very fruitful if pursued faithfully. It involves the study of the inner workings of the molecular structure of the living organisms. The future medicinal, agricultural and food sciences will be based on biotechnology because to move further in the research, biologists have to unlock the mysteries DNA, RNA and genomes hold within themselves. So biotechnology is a suitable field to opt for.
• Pharmacy is the field of making medicines. Humans, animals and plants will never stop falling ill and thus a pharmacist will never be out job. Even the physicians and veterinarians will be handicapped in the absence of skilled pharmacists. Therefore, if you go for pharmacy, it will not be unadvisable.
• Medical science is undeniably the most important field there is. A doctor alone can save millions of people in his life time and thus, medical science is, without any doubt, a noble profession.
• Ecology is the study of nature. Ecologists work against the blinded vision of humans where they think nothing could go wrong as long as they are provided with the natural resources. The message should be conveyed to them that the delicate ecological balance is wavering and soon, we all have to fall prey to the fury of nature. The work ecologists do is very crucial when speculated in a long term context.
• Bioinformatics is a budding field where biologists do the mind bending works of gene sequencing and the modeling of ecosystems. The field is close to mathematics and thus preferable to those who are inclined towards mathematics.

The opportunities will never run out once you enter the arena of life sciences. There are many fields apart from the ones discussed here.

biology blog 7 > Food For Thought

After today's food for thought activity, tell me what you think. Were you surprised at the differences in the populations of people world wide? Which population surprised you the most? Were you surprised about the differences in the amount of food in different regions of the world? Which ones surprised you the most?Do you now have a different perspective of what it means to be a North American?  The food activity surprised me a lot. I didnt realize how greedy the us is. North America surprised me by far. It makes me feel terrible for the other countries like Africa who are walking hundreds of miles for food and having to leave there kids to die so they can live. The bible says to help one another and try to be fond to each other,but North America has totally forgotten. We need to share and try to help out the other countries and stop being a selfish countries, and start thinking about others. I am very disappointed in the united states.

Over Population and What Its Doing to Us!

After having watched these video clips, I want you to do a little research and tell me HOW can we stop this trend. Obviously, our human activities as well as the shear numbers of people on the planet are headed for a collision course. So, check out the web and come up with THREE possible solutions (that can help curb human population growth) that will not be offensive or infringe on basic human rights. In addition, if we don't do anything about human population growth, tell me THREE things that might happen to our planet long term. I believe that to keep the earth from reaching its carrying capacity would almost be impossible, but if we could it would have to start with controlling the number of births a family can have. By limiting the number of children are born will slow down the population growth. I think that they should be aloud to have 2 children to replace the parents, but no more than that. You Cant completely tell them they cant have more than to so you should try to encourage them by giving some type of tax break. I also believe what would help is if they took away benefits to people who have a certain amount of children. I know of people who had a lot of kids just for the money benefits. They also should tax if they have more than three it would keep them from having 20 kids. I also believe that we should. We should also focus on trying to keep are natural resources in tip top shape. we are starting to run out of them and were wasting them we should be more careful. WE are running out of materials needed for life if we don't get control of this problem  there will be survival of the fittest. There will be an increase of deaths, murder rates, and starvation.

H.English "The Most Dangerous Game" *Question8*

Early in the story , Rainsford declares that "the world is made up of two classes-the hunters and the huntees."  Do you agree? Explain your opinion. Yes, I agree, but probably not in the way you think. There are two categories The hunted and the huntees, but the category you fall in can varies on where your at, who you are, and what you are doing. I think that even if you are a huntee you still can be hunted.
