Step 1: Innovations in Biology and Technology – Finding Information Sources and Outline (1%) 

• Choose one of the provided topics (see list below, a-e). 
• Search the  and/or the internet to locate 3 reliable information sources that you may use for this assignment. The purpose of this step is to get the research process started; you are not required to use these information sources in the final version of your assignment.  
• Write 1-2 sentences for each information source explaining why you believe these sources are reliable   
• Write references to the 3 information sources in APA format 
• Create an outline for the writing assignment. The outline should be in a bullet list format and include the major topics that you plan to include in your assignment, with some supportive detail for each topic. It should not be a draft with full sentences and paragraphs.

Please review the grading rubric, and ask your professor if you have questions about this assignment. Topic Choices:  Choose one of these topics for your assignment

a) Vaccines. Your friend is worried about the many vaccines that his newborn son is scheduled to receive and asks you for advice since you are taking a biology course. Start with an explanation of how vaccines work. Briefly contrast the traditional methods used to create vaccines with more recently used biotechnology techniques, including the COVID 19 mRNA vaccines. Explain how the mRNA vaccines work based on your knowledge of the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. What are some of the diseases that infants and children in the US are routinely vaccinated against? How have vaccinations impacted the frequency of these diseases over the past 100 years? Why are some people worried about giving their children vaccines? Why do some people believe that the MRR vaccine can cause autism? Is there scientific evidence to support these concerns? Conclude with advice to your friend in regard to getting the recommended vaccines based on what you learned from reliable information sources. 

b) Personal Genomics.  Services like 23andMe and Ancestry have made it possible even popular for the average person to obtain in-depth information about their genome, including details like food allergies, drug sensitivities, and disease risks.  There are even add-on sites that will take this information and generate elaborate reports, such as Promethease. Describe how this data is obtained, and what it actually includes. Start your explanation with a basic description of DNA and how genes control our traits (the Central Dogma). Use information from the course readings, at least one service provider (e.g., 23&Me, Ancestry), and additional information resources.  What are the advantages and disadvantages of this easy, rapid, and affordable access to genomic data?  What are the social implications, in terms of benefits and risks?  Is Genome Privacy (restricting access to an individuals private genomic data) a potential issue, and if so, how?  If you, or someone you know, have had your own genome analyzed, discuss the thought process that led you (or them) to do so, and share how you felt when you found your results. If you haven’t, discuss why or why you would not want to have this information. 

 c) Bioprinting. Your father has been on a waitlist for a new kidney for several years, but no match has been found. You hear about bioprinting on the news and decide to do some research so you can tell him about it. Start with an explanation of what bioprinting is, and how the process works. Relate it to what you have learned about cells, tissues, and organs. What are the benefits of bioprinting? What are the current challenges? What are stem cells and how can they be used for bioprinting? What is bioink and how is it used for bioprinting? Include a least two examples of current research in this field, and conclude with predictions for the future. Finally, do you believe that your father could benefit from this technology in his lifetime?

 d) Human-caused global climate change is the biggest environmental challenge we are faced with today. Your aunt is a climate skeptic and you have decided to use your understanding of science to explain to her why the earths climate is changing, describe the major biological effects of climate change, and discuss how technology can be a solution to this problem. You should start with a brief description of the greenhouse effect and how carbon dioxide is a natural part of the carbon cycle. Then explain how our use of fossil fuels is disrupting the carbon cycle and enhancing the greenhouse effect. You may want to look ahead to the Week 7 readings for this information. What are the major ecological effects associated with climate change? What are the human health concerns associated with climate change? Describe at least one example of each. And finally, what can we do to reduce our impact on the climate through technological innovation? Include a description of a minimum of two technological solutions. 

1. Activity: Capital Budgeting Practice
   Complete the following and submit it in a Word document. Be sure to show your process and calculations:
   
   1. Assume you have just retired as the CEO of a successful company. A major publisher has offered you a book deal. The publisher will pay you $1 million up front if you agree to write a book about your experiences. You estimate that it will take three years to write the book. The time you spend writing will cause you to give up speaking engagements amounting to $500,000 per year. You estimate your opportunity cost to be 10%.
      • Should you accept this deal? Plot a diagram that measures NPV (on the y-axis) vs. discount rate (on the x-axis) to solve this problem. (Hint: Have your scale on the x-axis go to 50% (discount rate)).
      • Determine the IRR for this deal. (Hint: IRR is the point at which NPV = 0)
   2. Suppose you inform the publisher that it needs to sweeten the deal before you will accept it. The publisher offers $550,000 advance and $1,000,000 in four years when the book is published.
      • Should you accept or reject the new offer?  Again, plot a diagram that measures NVP (on the y-axis) vs. discount rate (on the x-axis) to solve this problem.  (Hint: Have your scale on the x-axis go to 50% (discount rate)).
      • Determine the IRRs for this deal (Hint: There are two IRRs for this problem).
      • Discuss if the IRR rule for making budgetary decisions can be used in this case.
   3. Finally, you are able to get the publisher to increase your advance to $750,000, in addition to the $1 million when the book is published in four years.
      • Should you accept or reject this new offer?  Again, plot a diagram that measures NVP (on the y-axis) vs. discount rate (on the x-axis) to solve this problem. (Hint: Have your scale on the x-axis go to 50% (discount rate)).
      • Determine the IRR for this deal.
   4. State three conclusions regarding the use of IRR vs. NPV that you can make from questions 24. Which is the stronger method to use (IRR or NPV), and why?

Choose a novel read throughout the course because one of the best ways to become a better writer is by reading great books. There is a reading log (attached) assignment to complete at your own pace, which asks you to log the time you spend reading for just one week of the course. 

You can choose the week. 

You can create an edited document with typed answers, or you can print it out and write on it before scanning it or taking a photo of it. When you open the log document, you’ll notice a couple of sections. “Cool words” refer to any words you find in the text that grab your attention for some reason. Maybe it’s a word you don’t know and need to look up, or maybe it’s just something that sounds awesome in that scene. There really is no way to go wrong with any chosen words. It’s meant to be an authentic vocabulary building exercise. 

“Windows and mirrors” refer to things in the text that inform you about something different or remind you of things in your own life. A window might give you an insight into another culture while a mirror might help you understand why you felt a certain way in a given situation in your past. Windows and mirrors are empathy builders, and that part of the exercise is meant to be reflective.

Case Scenario:

One Saturday morning at approximately 0900 hrs, a man walking his dog in a public park discovered the body of a white female lying in some bushes. Between the pathway and the bushes was a strip of grass, approximately 2 yards wide. The grass appeared to have been freshly cut and there were what appeared to be drag marks between the path and the body, across the grass and across the earth. The bushes were bordered by a brick wall approximately 5-6 yards from the pathway.

Within the bushes the body of a woman lay so that the torso was fully exposed but the head and lower legs were partially covered by the bushes. The woman was lying on her back. Hanging over the bushes, approximately five feet from the body was a white T-shirt adjacent to which was a handbag or purse. Other garments were apparent towards the feet of the body within the bushes. On closer examination of the body, a pair of blue denim jeans were observed to be partly pulled off with the left leg turned inside out and covering the left foot. The body was otherwise naked apart from a wrist watch on the left wrist.

Fragments of cut grass were adherent to the anterior aspects of the thighs and abdomen. Fragments of grass were present in the pubic hair. There was dirt soiling of the left thigh and both buttocks. There was blood smearing of the left arm and left breast. Further blood was smeared around the nose and mouth. Within the hair of the body were a number of twigs and leaves. There was prominent dirt soiling, but no blood-staining, of the hands and clumps of dirt were embedded beneath some of the fingernails.

Autopsy disclosed that she died of manual strangulation. There was no natural disease. No trauma was identified to the vagina or external genitalia. Toxicological analysis disclosed a blood alcohol level of 300 mg% and a urinary alcohol level of 380 mg%.

Questions:

1. What evidence and/or samples would you collect at the crime scene? How would the examination of this evidence assist in the investigation of the crime?

2. Discuss the importance of attending the crime scene where the body was located?

3. What physical evidence samples would you request from the pathologist in order to determine whether a sexual battery occurred?

4. What control samples would you require in this case?
