Yea, we are very genetically similar.. in fact, according to a documentary on the National Geographic channel, we are 99.9% genetically similar.. however, that 99.9% is the genetic information that makes us human.. what gives us a heart and brain and two legs and a symmetrical body. Now, the...

I've been doing a lot of pondering and research here lately, and the idea of Biosociology has really become an interest of mine. I'm a Sociology major in college, and I've been looking into various sociological theories and such. I've noticed that Biosociology, and especially Sociobiology, have...

I have looked at the faculty of many Biomedical Engineering programs, and I have noticed that there are many professors that do research in like, Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering, Biomechanics.. stuff like that.. But they have degrees in things like Biophysics and physics, Chemistry and...

Interesting question.. I see where you are coming from, I think.. Imagine this.. we exist in a universe.. What is a universe?? One dictionary definition says it's basically a place where something exists. If you want to get deeper into it, a universe works through planes and other dimensions to...

I am currently an Undergrad student studying Biophysics, wanting to pursue a career in medical research. Is it possible to go from a B.S. in Biophysics to a M.S. or Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering? Do I have to have a degree in Biomedical Engineering to be a Biomedical Engineer? My main research...
