“Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought” (Brainy Quotes).

With interests in biology, a large sum of my time is spent in the lab or on a computer doing research. However research doesn’t have to apply only to biology of other physical sciences. Research can apply to most aspects and studies in life. Although…

Hope-Focused Approach In choosing an approach, I took some time seriously considering the behavioral, strategic, and structural approaches that were used in formulating the HFA. My reasoning was that choosing HFA might seem to be too easy, since the course focused on this approach within both our textbook reading and discussion board writing. After researching each of these approaches and spending several days struggling to write a draft on the behavioral approach, I realized the HFA is the…

Throughout human history scientists have discovered and published theories and ideas which are often shared by other scientists and the general public, some of them more widely accepted than others, whilst others were simply rejected.
