The Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia is the oldest American museum of its kind, established in 1812. It has a collection of 17 million objects, including a great Dinosaur Hall and a children’s museum. Animal dioramas and fossils are also on display. The Academy of Natural Sciences is a natural history museum in Philadelphia, […]
The Mississippi Museum of Natural Science in Jackson educates the public about the state’s wildlife and habitats through indoor and outdoor exhibits and programs. Founded in 1932 by Fannye Cook, the museum houses a collection of her research and offers resources for educators and youth. Located in LeFleur’s Bluff State Park, the complex includes over […]
A Master of Health Sciences (MHS) degree is a graduate degree that can lead to various healthcare positions. It requires a bachelor’s degree, core and elective courses, and may take two to three years to complete. Graduates can find jobs in hospital and clinic administration, public health, and research. A similar degree is the Master […]
To obtain a Master of Science in Biological Sciences, one needs an undergraduate degree in an appropriate science, acceptance into a graduate program, and a desire to work in the field. Admission requirements include a minimum GPA, letters of reference, and relevant work experience. The program allows for a narrower focus and requires laboratory work […]
The earth sciences include geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy. Astronomy studies things outside Earth’s atmosphere and affects life on Earth in various ways, including planetary temperature and ocean tides. The relationship between space and earth sciences is fundamental for the support of animals and vegetation, as the Sun’s energy is necessary for life. The moon […]
Earth science studies the Earth’s environments, climates, and composition, grouped into the atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere. Geology, geophysics, and geography fall under the lithosphere. Paleontology studies extinct species, while oceanography, hydrology, and limnology study bodies of water. Meteorology and climatology study the atmosphere. Earth science is a broad term for any branch of science […]
Formal sciences use formal systems to generate knowledge, including mathematics, logic, statistics, information theory, and theoretical computer science. They lack empirical basis but are important for quantitative science. They have a long history, with math texts emerging in Mesopotamia in 1800 BC and logic developing in China and Greece. Information theory, theoretical computer science, and […]
The natural sciences include chemistry, biology, earth sciences, astronomy, and physics, with transversal disciplines like biophysics. They have led to advances in medicine, food production, and industry. The social sciences rely more on qualitative assessments, while the formal sciences are strongly quantitative but do not involve natural phenomena. The natural sciences are one of the […]
Earth sciences include geology, geography, oceanography, atmospheric sciences, geoinformatics, soil sciences, and glaciology. Environmental sciences investigate environmental conditions affecting living things. Earth sciences can be divided into sub-branches, including mineralogy, meteorology, and marine biology. Geography is divided into physical and human geography. Oceanography studies the Earth’s oceans, while atmospheric sciences study the atmosphere. Geoinformatics deals […]
