2. 烟草、酵母、拟南芥

烟草：生长周期短，容易吸收外来DNA

酵母：基因组较小，每90分钟进行一次分裂

拟南芥：是第一个完成基因组测序的植物

2.1. Question

烟草和拟南芥为什么需要让他成熟才能做实验？如何吸收外来DNA，如何导入

• 成熟，需要成熟植株的特定部分来进行基因表达分析
• 吸收导入
  • 农杆菌介导转化，将Ti质粒的DNA整合到植物细胞基因组中
  • 基因枪和电穿孔

酵母如何敲除和敲入基因

1. Intro

Why? I am considering make the world a better place. I realize that my individual effort would hardly make a difference, its better to gather more power, the education is a good way to do that.

Problem

• Target group
• Determine the focus area

2. EBT

Electronic Benefit Transfer

Eligibility: apply through different programs

Issuance: loaded each month

Using: make purchase at participating grocery stores

1. Intro

Learn more about microscope

2. Basics

What: Tool for magnifying small objects, visible to the human eye

Type:

• Optical: most common, use visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images. Eyepiece, objective lens, light source. Max 1000x due to wavelength of light, limiting the resolution to about 200 nm
• Stereo: provide 3D view of the specimen. Two eyepieces and lower magnification. For which 3d visualization is beneficial. Not suitable for viewing very small specimen
• Electron: TEM and SEM
• Confocal: use laser light to scan sample sequentially
• Fluorescence: exploit fluorescence and phosphorescence to study properties of organic substances

3. Components

Objective lens: primary lenses, ranging from 4x to 100x

Eyepiece: lens you look through at the top, magnifies the image again, ranging from 10x or 15x

Stage: platform where slides holding specimen are placed

1. Intro

Want to know more about the beer, especially what to buy in grocery store

2. Classification

Ale: fuller bodied with hints of fruit

• Pale ale, moderate achohol
• India Pale Ale, strong hop flavor
• Stout: dark, thick, with coffee or chocolate flavor

Lager: smooth, crisp, clean taste

• Pilsner: light flavor
• Amber lager: medium body
• Dark lager: smooth, caramel sweetness

Wheat beer: light and easy to drink, often hazy or cloudy from wheat

• Hefeweizen: German style, usually unfiltered
• Witbier: Belgian style, spiced with coriander and orange peel

3. Spec

1. Intro

Arrow’s impossibility theorem:

• No voting system can perfectly translate individual preference into a collective decision that seems reasonable

Properties

• No matter how rank, the system should process
• No one could dictate the entire group result
• If an option is universally preferred, it wins
• Ranking between any two options depend only on the these two

2. Solution

1. Relaxing Criteria
2. Different voting system
   1. Ranked choice voting
   2. Borda count
   3. Approval voting

1. Study of Happiness/Adult Development

Around 3000 people in the study

Two huge takeaways

• Physical health is very important
  • Exercise is very important, Help cognitive health and mortal
• Relationship keep us mental healthy and physical healthy

Being lonely is dangerous like obsessed and smoking

• But one can be alone but content
• Quality over quantity

1.1. What Relationship Do

Emotion regulator, help relax the stress emotion

Talk to someone to calm down

2. Income

1. Intro

After a year, let’s see how my mind set changes.

2. Plan

I am considering make the world a better place. By “better” I mean a world more like the world in my ideal living condition. To do this, I need to first imagine and design the future ideal world in my mind

1. Define core values
   1. Assess my philosophy idea
2. Envision key aspects
   1. envrionment
   2. society: freedom and collective decision-making
   3. economy: maximize overall happiness, relation between happy and money
   4. technology: improve living standard and accessible to all
   5. health
3. Research
4. Create scenarios
5. Sketch, get feed-back
6. Plan small-scale
7. Iterate

3. Core Value

Metaphysics: everything can be explained through physical process

• Science and technology

Epistemology: trust logic, reasoning, scientific facts. Meaningful discourse based on empirical evidence and rational thought

Ethics and political: utilitarianism and direct democracy

1. Intro

I am trying to make the world a better place, by “better” I mean a world more like my ideal living condition. First I need to know what’s my view of the world.

I plan to list some important philosophy question and then reflect my personal view on them.

What is the nature of reality? (Metaphysics)

• This question is arguably the most foundational, as it underlies all of philosophical inquiry into existence and the universe.

How do we come to know what we know? (Epistemology)

• Central to understanding all knowledge, this question impacts how we interpret and validate every other philosophical and scientific inquiry.

What does it mean to live a good life? (Ethics)

• This is fundamental to personal and societal decisions, addressing moral values and how individuals should act.

What is consciousness? (Philosophy of Mind)
