Linus Pauling Accomplishments

In the early 1950s, the race to find the structure of DNA was in full swing. The search was being conducted at three different colleges. At the California Institute of Technology, Linus Pauling,

After many months they discovered there were proteins in the alpha and gamma structures. Unfortunately for Branson he went back to Howard University and during this time his partner finished the research and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry and Bronson was never given any credit.

Since Linus worked many Jobs, he had enough money to attend college. Linus Attended the Oregon Agricultural College. This is where Linus became more fascinated about chemistry. Linus also loved learning about Mathematics and Physics. When Linus was not studying , he was teaching Chemistry to people at the facility. Here he meets his future wife, Ava Miller. The two would also have 4 children. In 1922, Linus attended in the school, “California Institute of Technology.” Linus used X- Ray diffraction to understand how Atoms formed to make Molecules. This new found made him be awarded with a Doctorate in Chemistry/Math. In 1926, Linus went to Europe for 18 months. When Linus returned, he brought knowledge about chemistry that is still in todays

In this paragraph you will hear about Paul Revere's family and early times. Paul Revere was born on January 1st, 1735 in Boston Massachusetts. He was the son of Apollos Revere a French immigrant. Paul's mom was Deborah Hichborn who was a Boston native. Revere leaned at the North Writing School. At the age of 12 he learned silversmithing.

“I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality." These wise words were once spoken by a prominent and influential woman named Alice Paul, whose mission changed the course of history and brought equality to women. A feminist, women’s right activist and American suffragist, she dedicated her life to the single cause of securing equal rights for women.

I strive to be as generous and diligent as my great-grandfather, Alfred Lamson. Lamson came from humble and challenging beginnings. He was born in Lawtell, Louisiana to a farmer-turned-banker father and a german-immigrant mother in 1917. At the age of one, his mother died; and at the age of twelve, the Great Depression started. Through these trying times, Lamson found comfort in Boy Scouts.

“Economics is not an exact science. It's a combination of an art and elements of science. And that's almost the first and last lesson to be learned about economics: that in my judgment, we are not converging toward exactitude, but we're improving our data bases and our ways of reasoning about them” (Paul,1). Despite Paul Samuelson’s accomplishments, his life growing up was not as ideal as a child would like. Paul was born in Gary, Indiana on May 15, 1915 to parents Frank and Ella Samuelson. Frank Samuelson was a pharmacist, who had financial difficulties after WWI. Thus, the family was forced to move to Chicago, Illinois. Enrolling at the early age of 16 to the University of Chicago, on his first day of college he claimed he was “Born as an

“If a creator stands in front of a man’s house, constantly demanding the amount of the bill, the debtor has either to remove the creditor or pay the bill,” according to Alice Paul’s biographer, Amelia Fry (qtd. in Butruille). Alice Paul was an activist that wanted to get women’s right to vote. Due to that, Paul never gave up even when it seemed impossible, and when nothing was in her favor. She had fought constantly for women’s suffrage by protesting day and night, rain or shine, and in cold or heat. Nonetheless, even “being jailed six times, fighting politicians, and even other suffragists” like herself, Paul continued to be forceful against the President and Congress to allow women to vote (“Suffragist and Feminist”

He had a vision for this field of subject and believed that only through matter we could understand the universe and its components. He looked at the chemical processes from a very unique perspective. He fantasized about things when it came to chemistry. For example is this chapter of his book he analogized the mines with magic. Levi compared the artificial crater in the mine with schematic representation of hell in the synoptic tables of Dante’s Divine Comedy. In the chapter Nickel Levi wrote about all the gossips and the stories he heard at his work place but the thing that was of the most interest to him was his work; the quantitative analysis of the rocks, running tests in the labs and discussions with the lieutenant about the methods of extraction of Nickel. This unique and creative way of thinking made Levi a successful chemist and even a more successful author. His attachment to Chemistry could be seen, as he writes "The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his country; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile or emigration in the case of one's country, by retirement in the case of a trade or profession. I left the trade of chemist several years ago, but only now do I feel I have the necessary detachment to see it in its entirety and understand how much it pervades me and how much I owe

In Portland, Oregon on February 28th, 1901, Linus Carl Pauling was born to Herman Henry William Pauling, a bread salesman and Lucy Isabelle Darling. His fascination with chemistry began when he was very young. He used to help friend and mentor Lloyd A. Jeffress, who owned a small laboratory kit. In high school, Pauling would steal scraps from from an abandoned steel plant to do experiments in secret. At the age of 15, Linus had enough credits to enter Oregon State, so he left Washington High School, without a diploma and entered college in 1917. Linus’ high school granted him his diploma 45 years later. During his first semester of his freshman year of college, Linus took two courses in chemistry, two in mathematics, mechanical drawing, introduction to mining and use of explosives, modern English prose, and gymnastics. He was very involved with campus life and he founded the school’s Delta Upsilon Fraternity. This fraternity is the seventh oldest and all male. Just after his sophomore year in

“I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality." These wise words were once spoken by a very intelligent and determined women named Alice Paul. Alice Paul was a girl with a mission to change society and bring equality to women. Alice was a Feminist, women’s right activist and American suffragist. One of her most well known accomplishments is being a main leader of the campaign for the nineteenth amendment. With Alice’s hard work and dedication women were given the right to vote. Alice was a powerful and influential woman figure, she worked her hardest and fought for what she believed in and was the most important person in

“We can see only a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.” Alan Turing, a forgotten hero, said this when challenged with the prospect of technology that could think for itself. This figure hidden in the shadows of history has impacted every aspect  of society. Because of his accomplishments in the realm of computing, the vast majority of the population has handled an electronic device. Turing, truly a catalyst for social change, who society tried to bury because of his homosexuality, a crime of gross indecency in the United Kingdom until 1967 is responsible for the electronic-reliant population the majority of humanity lives in today (“Alan Turing: Creator of modern computing”).

I plan to major in chemical engineering at UNR. Possessing a thirst for discovering how the world functions through the lense of science, I am interning with Dr. Casey in the Chemistry Department to experience chemistry firsthand. Alongside the heavy workload, I will balance volunteering with Dean’s Future Scholars at UNR, I’ve dedicated 200+ hours to the group and look forward to helping out the lives of low-income, first generation kids like myself. I’ll advance from college into the real world examining life at the atomic level while giving back to the

Gary Paulson was born May 17,1939 in Minnesota. He had a pretty bad life because his dad was a abusive drunk. Also, He even said" I first saw my father when I was seven, my longest time in school was 5 months, I was shy and terrible at sports." In high school he had a D- average. He went to the University of Colorado for college. He had 15 jobs including, writer, teacher, editor, and much more. He also was in the army and his dad was too. When he was 21 he went back to college to get better grades.

If I could meet an important historical figure, I would wish to meet Rosalind Franklin, the woman who changed the world of chemistry. Franklin was a dedicated chemist who researched the structure of DNA using X-Ray chromatography, a new and dangerous imaging method that eventually led to her early death. She worked among strong-minded men, many of whom disagreed with her due to her gender. Nevertheless, she still contributed to their research, even commenting on the inaccuracies of Watson and Crick’s first DNA model. Her remark, as well as her “photo 51” that showed the double-stranded nature of DNA, led Watson and Crick to the double-helix model we know today and a Nobel Prize. Her research has shaped our understanding of DNA, and her persistent
