When one thinks of Drosophila melanogaster, one should think of Thomas Hunt Morgan, a Noble Prize winner for discoveries regarding the chromosome and a recipient of the Darwin Medal. Morgan was born in Lexington, Kentucky on September 25th, 1866 and was the eldest son of his family. He attended the University of Kentucky, attaining a B.S. degree in 1886, and continued onto John Hopkins University where he studied morphology, a branch of biology dealing with the structure of plants animals (University of Sheffield 2012), and physiology, or the study of how living organisms function (Merriam-Webster). Growing up, he always collected fossils, and just following his graduation from the University of Kentucky, he engaged with laboratory research involving marine life. Following his graduation from John …show more content…
In 1904 Morgan married Lilian Vaughan Sampson, who would often assist him in research. They would go on to have one son and three daughters together. Also in 1904, he would be invited to Columbia University to serve as the Professor of Experimental Zoology. Morgan died on December 4th, 1945 (Nobel Prize, 2015). While still in graduate school, Morgan began studying regeneration in earthworms and would continue this study with other organisms in an attempt to discover how an egg or tissue is able to produce structural formation and become an adult. Morgan exhibited interest in sex determination and how the organism’s chromosomes had an impact on it. Upon becoming the Professor of Experimental Zoology
Michael Thomas a 23-year old, 6’3, 209 pound dynamic wide receiver out of Ohio State. Look at any mock draft, any big board, or any prospect rankings and look for Thomas. What do you see? I looked at a combination of over 100 different mock drafts, big boards, and player rankings, and much to my surprise, on average Thomas was rated as the sixth best receiver in the draft.
Horace Lee and Rosie Lee Jones and family moved their membership from New Hope Baptists Church in 1958 by way of letter from Pastor H. Y. Bolden and joined Greater Tabernacle Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Perry. Brother Horace was a trailblazer and became one of the legends of Greater Tabernacle. He severed as head deacon for several years, leader of the men Layman, custodian and grounds man, traveled with the pastor to just about every church visitation and lead the process from the church, helped with hiding the Easter eggs for the youths, barbequed chicken and sometimes ribs for the church dinners, organized the Christmas gifts give a ways (bags of fruits and nuts), and ranged the church bell for members who was called

I have known Mr. Jerry Watson since 2000. At that time, he was reacquainting himself with civilian life after retiring from the twenty-plus years of service to our country as an Army Pilot. Mr. Watson has been employed by the Alaska Department of Corrections for over fifteen years and has become the invaluable professional spokesman of the justice system during this time. Moreover, Mr. Watson has maintained a substantial achievement performance. This is apparent, he has successfully occupied every available position within his facility. From Floor Officer to Assistant Superintendent, has progression was not stopped by his ability, but, because he could not fill an occupied position. From his professional presentations given at tours of the facility to his on the record testimonials given as an expert witness, he is skilled in engaging all audiences. I’m as confident in his abilities. Moreover, the State of Alaska, Department of Corrections has placed in a position that requires knowledge, skills, ability, and patients. All of which could benefit you.

Christopher Sly was born in West Cornwall, Connecticut. He lived in this extremely small town up to his sophomore year of college . He had a rough childhood, his dad was a drunk man who left when he was about twelve and his mother was a hard working waitress at the diner. Christopher had very good grades but always skipped classes. One day he was called down to the principal's office. The principal said, “ Kid you have a bright future but you won’t get anywhere if you don’t take the opportunities you are given, I’m offering you one last opportunity, I put in a word for you at the towns newspaper you haven’t got the job but I did get you an interview. I hope to hear great news”. He was a bright kid who had a bright future ahead him but it took
Morgan Jackson is someone I met within the first week of my freshman year (this was a feat in and of itself). I remember meeting her and wanting to be friends with her because she seemed smart-witted, friendly, and considerate; so I started to talk to her about biology and pre-med (because she is a biology major with a pre-med emphasis). She is one of those people who has their life together; she handles the balance between her extracurricular activities and academics impeccably. She has a 3.8 GPA and has a high class standing. For as long as I have known her, Morgan has always been involved in Lottie’s Hall Government. In fact, it was through Hall Government that we became good friends.
Early in his life and career, Morgan attended Los Angeles City College. He married Jeanette Adair Bradshaw, with whom he had two children. Unfortunately the marriage ended in divorce in 1979. In 1984, he married Tomyma Colley-Lee and they're still married with two children today.
Let us not try to kid ourselves any more, we all know that racism is still going on in America today, even if we refuse to admit it. You may not be raciest and I am sure that you have seen racism whether it was broadcast on the television, internet or in real life. I personally like the way that Morgan Freeman looks at the whole situation of racism, and do away with the labels black, white, brown or yellow. We should be referring to people as man and women or children. When I was in the navy I told my sailors that there was no black or white or Asian there was only one color to be seen in the navy and that was blue, that was the color of our uniforms, and that is the way that they should look at each other as a sailor nothing more nothing
Have you ever heard the name Thomas More? Well! Thomas More was born February 7, 1478 London, England, United Kingdom. Thomas more was a philosopher, journalist, saint, and a lawyer. He went to school at St. Anthony’s School. Thomas more died July 6, 1535. “I die the king's faithful servant, but God's first.” See me safe up:for in my coming down, I can shift for myself.” “An absolutely new idea is one of the rarest things known to man.” If Thomas More was never in history there would never be a book called utopia. He would have never been able to become a lawyer.
One thing that people can say is that everyone desires to have a place to sleep, eat and live. Many people like the idea of having a place they can call home. One organization, Habitat for Humanities, has made ownership a possibility for anyone who desires to have it. For years people have been searching for a less expensive way to begin their journey out of their predicament of not having their own place to lay their head. Nothing can ever come without hard work though; to become a candidate for owning a home, people have to go through numerous classes and engage “sweat equity”. This organization has changed the lives of over a million families in over 1,400 bases internationally. Where this great organization came from is the real question. The answer, an idea; before the idea came a feeling or motion that one person felt they should act on. Millard Fuller, the man who felt there were too many homeless people in the world and decided to do something about it.
He was born in February 12 - 1809 and then died in April 19 - 1882. (1)
People from all around the world are sharing their weight loss success stories on different social networks. One of the most useful app for finding these people is Instagram which was a key app for Morgan Bartley to share her incredible weight loss success story. Unlike other people who lost 5-10 pounds, Bartley has just lost 115 pounds which is really a big deal considering her appearance from the very first beginning.
Ernest E. Just was Successful Biologist he also was Won First Spingarn Medal from NAACP.”A brilliant marine biologist who made numerous significant discoveries concerning cell behavior, Ernest Everett Just faced many obstacles in his career because of racial prejudice. He overcame many of them.”(Bianco, D 2004-2008) In Fact “For almost 40 years after the end of World War II, the work of Ernest Everett Just, an African-American biologist known for his studies of fertilization and early development in marine invertebrates lay forgotten, buried in the scientific literature.”(Byrnes, M. 2010).
He was a rhetoric and English instructor before joining the Department of Zoology. He was named professor of the department in 1912. Just helped form Omega Psi Phi in 1911. Just worked at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts for many years. He realized that a doctorate in science would advance his career. Just self studied at the University of Chicago and later earned his doctorate in 1916. Many discoveries were being made in the 1910’s in biological research. He was one of the first to dig into and made many discoveries in fertilization of eggs. Just would publish 50 scientific papers and 2 influential novels. Just married Ethel Highwarden on June 26. Together they had three children; Maribel, Highwarden, and Margaret. The marriage suffered because Ernest would be away for long periods of time. After a rough marriage, the two divorced in 1939. Just would marry Hedwig Schnetzler that same year. Ernest Just pioneered black opportunities with his many studies and discoveries. He was awarded the Spingarn Medal, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), 1915 (Bianco). He was working in Roscoff, France when the Germans attacked during WWII.
