Quiz 4

 

1. “The banana equivalent dose is the radiation exposure received by eating a single banana” How helpful a tool is this, in your opinion? 

Not very helpful at all in my opinion.   Where was that particular banana grown?  Pesticides?  What kind of banana is it?  What did it go through in terms of shipping and handling before it was eaten or measured for the radiation?

2. “….there’s nothing to suggest 5G mm Wave is a significant health risk” (Is 5G dangerous?)

Are you convinced? 

I am not entirely sure on this one,  I think some of it may be hype, some of it may be true.  So we are now going to be blasting a new frequency all around the world, that they say is safe, but who is they?   Haven't we seen cancer increases as technology increases?  Are there any real longer term studies of what this does to our bodies?  In my mind, these tech giants that pushing the edge of all this stuff constantly are just getting rewarded for their work,  while the masses an general public are the mice or canary that is watched to see if or what goes wrong.  I think that we all are just constantly being test subjects and have no idea.

3. “It has been hypothesized that the body's primary gamma emitter, potassium-40 (K40), represents a "self-regulation" of energy within the body and the surrounding electromagnetic field.” (Energy Medicine: An Overview)

What are your thoughts on this hypothesis? 

I think its great!  I think it is wonderful that that type of research is finally being done on the actual human body.  I feel we have tried so hard to understand an manipulate the world around us, that we haven't look to o much into ourselves.  Yes, we have modern medicine and all that, but really using our tech to look at the actual makeup of what we are and how we actually function.  Understanding the potassium and electromagnetic field that our bodies produce, could lead to such a deeper understanding of how we work and how we can fix ourselves.

BioChem Quiz 1

  Class Quiz – The Chemistry of Life Your Name:Scott Today’s Date:September 1. “For Pfizer, the first interim look occurs when 32 trial volunteers get infected.” (How drugmakers can keep their pledge and still deliver an October vaccine surprise) What are your thoughts on the prospects of an “emergency vaccine approval process”?  Just the term "emergency vaccine" is a bit daunting to begin with.  It sounds rushed and not really tested.   Going off the time frame that other vaccines have taken to be produced , and they think they will do it in almost 1/4 of the time, seems a bit sketchy to me.  I, will not be getting a vaccine for covid, no matter what they say the trials are producing. "emergency vaccine approval" sounds like it something that will be passed through whether it works or not,  but at least it will look like someone is dong something.       2. “…people can..start having imagined side-effects” (Side...

Self Reflection Week 1

  Your thoughts on today’s class:   I really enjoyed our first class.  It was very nice to see familiar and new faces.  This class is a great mixing pot of all the years students at the Academy.  Some on their way in, some almost out, and others still in the thickit of the mess of school and studying.   But Larry's classes always bring about a good conversation as well as some mind opening new ideas.  and if those topics for class don't do it,  there is always someone willing to share their perspective, which may be a whole new light to shine on a subject. We have a rather large class this time with Larry, which I am enjoying.  So many new ideas and perspectives to listen to, as well more people to keep the conversations going.  I really enjoyed the topics for class as well, and look forward the this weeks topics also.  I think Larry has a good plan for this term and I am looking forward to all the classes for BioChem. I would give ...

Self reflection

 My thoughts on today's class....  I have really enjoyed every class we have had so far and i love the diverse group that we have also.  I really enjoy hearing the other points of view, the way we agree on certain topics (vaccines) and hearing someone express themselves.  the breakout rooms are wonderful for the size of the class, and having those mixed up every week is wonderful as well.  I get to talk to people that, given the current social stuff going on, might never have been able to have these talks with other people.  Whether they are like minded or not, these are all good people who are sacrificing their time and lives for the betterment of others, and that is commendable.
