University of Michigan’s Biological Science (B.S.) will be my first choice of major and Human Biology (B.A.) will be my second choice.

When the plants die off the organisms that eat the plants wont have any food so they will die off and so on. The temperature of the earth would most likely drop due to the lack of sunlight exposure as well. An earthworm wouldn’t suffer a huge amount until the bacteria started to die off due to the overall imbalance of the food chain, earthworms would definitely survive the longest because their food source would be the last to die off. The sharks also would not be affected for a while because it would take time for the algae to die off from lack of sunlight and cause a chain reaction of

    I’ve had a couple of life experiences that have shaped my mind to think differently, such as when I nearly drowned in the ocean, or when I fractured my ankle by jumping over a bean bag chair. With multiple weeks spent in a boot and a slight but undeniable fear of rip currents, I’ve managed to gather an interest in orthopedics and ocean life; as a result, I have decided to research further into being a surgeon (specializing in orthopedics), and a marine biologist. These two careers contrast drastically, specifically in required education and salary, work environment, and job outlooks. Although being an orthopedic surgeon and a marine biologist both require a certain amount of extended education beyond high school, they contrast in how much is necessary. According to Barbara Sheen, “postsecondary aspiring surgeons must obtain a bachelor’s degree, which usually takes four years.

    I had never seen anyone who is utterly obsessed with plants until I looked in the mirror. I was in middle school when I realized not everyone (actually hardly anybody) thought plants were cool. It wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I decided to pursue something involving it. I love ecology and I love genetics, so when my AP Biology teacher told me that molecular ecology is a mix between the two, I was thrilled. I’m now a freshman in college, and I’ve never had the opportunity to do any type of research, so when I discovered that the Harvard Summer Research Program is for undergraduates and involves ecology, I immediately started my application.
