In 1972 (when I was in graduate school) I was on TV demonstrating how a new technology, GC-MS, was used to characterize moon samples. A doctor working in one of the large Boston hospitals saw the TV news special and called me asking if "..this new GC-MS technology would help with a drug overdose victim?" I said I would try to help.

quot;While playing football in high school, I suffered a compression fracture and was in a coma. After one week, I began coming out of the coma and overheard doctors talk about someone 'who might not make it'. When I fully regained consciousness, I found out that the talk was about me. As a result of the accident, my hands, feet, and knees were painful yet numb. Our family doctor said that I was lucky to be alive and would have to learn to live with the pain and numbness.

I'd been reading romance for years and eventually a story started forming in my mind and I just had to write it.

I have a bachelor's degree (B.S.) in agriculture and a master's (M.S.) degree in Plant Science from West Texas State University (now known as West Texas A&M University, where I now teach). My Ph.D. (doctoral) degree is in soils and is from Iowa State University. As you might imagine, it took quite a while to get all those degrees (almost 13 years).

The Computer Industry is showing no signs of slowing down. Computer Scientists can work as theorists, researchers, or inventors. Those employed by academic institutions work in areas ranging from complexity theory, to hardware, to programming language design. Some work on multi-disciplinary projects, such as developing and advancing uses of virtual realty in robotics.

A recent InfoWorld compensation survey found that the average salary of computer professionals with an MS degree in Computer Science is US$14,525 more per year than the average salary of those without one. The Transcendental Meditation technique is a simple, natural, effortless procedure for reducing stress and awakening the total creative potential of your brain. It is easily learned and practiced twice a day, sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. It is not a religion or philosophy.

There is no general requirement for a Master's degree, although if you are interested in employment at a specific laboratory, you should contact the director of the laboratory to determine what they require. A Master's degree in forensic science, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, medical technology, or a closely related field may substitute for experience and are useful for career advancement. Again, contact the specific laboratory to inquire if this is their policy.

Political science is not a vocational major such as nursing, nutrition, or accounting, all of which train you with a specific set of skills tied to certification for professional practice. Rather, political science is a liberal arts degree, which -- like most university majors -- is designed instead to prepare you broadly for professional development, critical thinking, citizenship, and lifelong learning.

A degree in Exercise Science offers a wide variety of career choices, from coaching to research to industry jobs. Feel free to peruse the careers page to find out more.

Apart from students with a background in Computer Science and other Engineering disciplines, our PhD programme is also open to students with MSc in Physics/Mathematics.

We do accept exceptional candidates from related areas such as Electrical Engineering if we think that you have sufficient background to cope with the coursework.

Currently, the most frequent job placements for Cognitive Science graduates are in the computer industry in the areas of cognitive engineering (human factors), human-computer interface design, artificial intelligence, neural network applications, and software design and development. There is also a growing demand in the research industry, particularly in biotechnical and pharmaceutical companies, because students also take courses in biology and chemistry.

Students can study the Master of Teaching degree after they have completed their Science degree to become a science teacher. Students must take an appropriate combination of teaching subjects in their undergraduate degree. For more information about the MTeach, please check the Faculty of Education and Social Work website.

The most significant real world problems over the past quarter century are multidisciplinary and driven by new technologies. The people trained for and capable of solving these problems are in short supply. Clearly there is a need for a new curriculum that focuses on the integration of science, management, engineering, information technologies, and liberal studies. The Bachelor of Science in Integrated Science and Technology has been designed around these conditions.

The main entry level to marine science is at the postgraduate level, but there is an undergraduate program with a specialisation in marine science. It is recommended that at BSc level one should take a relevant traditional discipline-based science degree together with the undergraduate programs offered in Marine Science.

No. The medical schools do not care what your degree is in. What they care about is how well you did getting your degree, and how well you did academically on the required pre-requisite science courses. It does no good to get a biology degree, and then if you don't get into medical school, have a degree in something that you hate. The question you should ask and answer is this.

The regular Social Science major is a multi disciplinary program which is especially appropriate for students wanting a liberal education based on a broad spectrum of understandings, insights, and appreciations. It is appropriate for many beginning positions in government, and when supplemented with a business administration minor, for careers in business.

I hate this one, as it implies a certain spirit of arbitrariness or whimsy, though I suppose the question is natural since a lot of people suddenly appear in the transgender community, announce they are TS, maybe even live full time for a while, and then disappear. Personally, I have always known that this was what I needed to do, but until late 1997 had been overwhelmed first by lack of knowledge about how to go about it and then by my sheer physical unsuitability.
