First Blog Post

     Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog, my name is Emily Gibson. I am from a small town Liberal, KS, and I am in my final semester here at KSU. My major is Biology/ Pre-PA. Some things that I am passionate about are my job (in healthcare) and my puppers (of course the little guy on the bottom left is the guard dog). I also have the amazing opportunity of being a research assistant in Dr. Shames's lab! I know this is rather cheesy but as soon as I took my first biology course during my sophomore year of high school, I had a feeling this would be the path for me. Was it my best subject, no. But, this is how I knew it was for me, as I would have constant challenges with this field. 

    What fascinates me about biology is how it is this huge broad field and to actually understand it there are so many connected courses that cover any and every aspect to be looked at. More specifically what fascinates me about evolution is that it shows us how overtime different species have changed and how they are related. Also, evolution constantly affects our daily lives, just look around us and reflect on this past year. Look how quickly COVID-19 has evolved in just the last few months. 

    What I am most excited about and also most worried about in this course is learning how to code. You always see it on these shows we watch and think wow I could never be able to do all that, but here we are getting ready to learn how to do all the things.

    Hi Emily
    Don't worry about the coding. We'll have your back on that! What project are you working on in the Shames lab?
    Chers, Michi

    Hello Emily!

    We have some similarities! I am also in my final semester at KSU, majoring in biology on a pre-health track, and passionate about my pupper (maybe that will be plural soon). Science was honestly not my strongest subject either! I am excited to for this class and to get to know you better.

    Hi Emily! I love hearing about your drive and passion for biology, and that's awesome that you're getting research experience. Also, your dogs are adorable.

11. STRONGER

I think we can all conclude that life has changed in the last year. We found new skills, new interests, and new things we hate. Personally I feel like I have gained much more when it comes to knowledge and my capabilities as well as professionally. I think one of the most important things that I have learned is how important your physical and mental health really is, and how to contact media scrolling affects that. I am proud to say that I have gotten to really know myself on different levels I hadn't known I had pre-pandemic. I have realized how important it is to take a break when you feel you need a break, there is no point in killing yourself trying to do all sorts of things. It is OKAY to take a break, to feel burnt out, and to take time for yourself. Something that I overcame was that I never thought I would be able to pass online classes or really learn much at all. The first few classes were a struggle, and I would be lying if I said I didn't fail any. However, I am so ...

4.2 Early semester reflection

  I have taken more classes that just skimmed over evolution during my time in college. However I'm just four weeks into this course, and while it is one of my harder courses this semester, I am certainly glad I waited until my final semester at KSU to take this class. This class is more than the usual lecture and exams. I find that the way we learn in this class is far beneficial, it also makes me actually want to engage in class. I've always had some thought of what evolution is, but there is so much to learn and even things to be discovered still. This was my initial definition of evolution, " What I think evolution is, is the continuous changes organisms go through to help them be able to survive and adapt in an ever-changing world. " This is my new definition, "Evolution is the slow process of organisms changing physically and/or genetically. This change is constant, organisms undergo change to enhance their fitness for their environment." So far most ...

4.1 Mutation

 I think mutation rates evolve over time. Every time a species undergoes a mutation it may affect its fitness. This effect may be positive or negative or perhaps not at all. First let's apply this to Darwin's first postulate: individuals within species are variable. Knowing this, the variations may enhance a species fitness or decline it. When an individual undergoes a mutation is makes them unique in their species. In some cases it will enhance its survival, in others, it may not affect it at all. Next, let's apply this to Darwin's second postulate: some of these variations are heritable. Let's say an individual undergoes a mutation, and it enhances its fitness, they then pass it along to their offspring. This allows the offspring to survive more easily than the parent did. An example of this is back in module one with the coat color of these mice. Once their coat color matched their environment they were less likely to get preyed upon, increasing their chances at ...
