Resources For Organic Chemistry

The first source is a journal article from Science Progress, which goes in depth about the specific definitions and characterizations of Organic Chemistry. It's a good example of secondary research that acts as an academic piece, but with an easier diction considering the scope of the piece. I'm hoping to look into it's more unique structure and heavy use of complicated illustrations, as well address the varying degrees of learned and colloquial language.


The second source is another journal entry from the same magazine. It differs, however, in its research, as it's a article about primary research. The first main point I plan on touching on with this is the unconventional structure that it employs, considering it lacks the normal headings that are used in an APA format. Regardless, it follows the same trends that APA tends to use. Secondly would be the drastically different diction, as it's word choice is much more learned than that in the first source.

http://www.jstor.org.proxy.lib.uiowa.edu/stable/43418182?Search=yes&resultItemClick=true&searchText=Organic&searchText=Chemistry&searchText=Press&searchText=Releases&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3DOrganic%2BChemistry%2BPress%2BReleases%26amp%3Bfilter%3D&refreqid=search%3A89382929c1712ed8ab3710d55fc2abb7&seq=9#page_scan_tab_contents

Thirdly would be the first non-academic article, an educational piece about the dangers and chemistry of arsenic in our soil. It's especially unique because of the structure of the piece follows a more APA style format, but is intended for educational purposes with extensive background and explanation. It does well in building up from more casual language to learned diction as the piece progresses, providing an interesting non-academic source. I'm hoping to find a more conventional source in order to contract the two further.

Collegiate Opinions on Prenatal Genetic Engineering and its Uses University of Iowa Abstract Many scientists have written, countered, and fought over the ethics behind genetic engineering, and what its implications would be. Over the last few years genetic engineering has taken leaps and bounds forward with the creation and study of the CRISPR technique, and will only continue to become more detrimental to the fields of medicine and biology in the years to come. With so much in store for the future of genetics, what do college students, future scientists and researchers, believe about this up and coming technology? Are college students as secular and scientifically progressive as we make them out to be? A short survey was formed in order to get the opinions of college students on genetic engineering, specifically prenatal. 39 participants were ultimately recorded, all of which took the survey anonymously online. The data showed that students’ opinions were extremel...

Morality of Genetics Survey

1. Have you ever thought about, considered, or been interested in Genetic Engineering? y/n 2. Prenatal G.E. is the concept of using genetic manipulation in order to change traits of a baby while still an embryo in order to eliminate negative traits or add positive ones. Do you agree with this strategy? In other words, do you find it ethically acceptable? y/n 3. If your child had a negative genetic trait such as Autism, Crohn's, or Huntingtons, would you be willing to use genetic engineering to replace those genes? y/n 4. In the future, it could be very plausible for scientists to recognize genetic coding that could correlate to things such as depression or schizophrenia. In which case, would you be willing to use genetic engineering to correct this? y/n 5. Do you have any known genetic disorders, even repressed, that you know of? Or perhaps any that don't effect you but you know have effected past relatives like grandparents? This can even be things like ...
