Allegro Music College History of Science Worksheet

Create a timeline with some of the most important events in the history of Science during the 20th Century.

Your assignments should include the following:

Title

Your Name

Timeline with10 Dates of events in chronological order.A brief description of each event.A picture of each event.As short project summary (1 paragraph) that describes the timeline and answers these questions:Why you picked those events?What is the correlation between the events? for example: all advance in medicine, or contribution of women scientist, etc…How those events affect the development and progress of science?

The timeline can be either vertical or horizontal.

The Mind, and It’s Relationship/Connection with the Brain
Understanding the mind is, arguably, one of the most challenging philosophical and
scientific tasks. Understanding how the mind works, or even why it works so is relatively
difficult. At some point, we may wonder about what goes on in other people’s mind. We
might even compliment, or disregard what we believe are their thoughts. But knowing what
others actually think requires comprehending what constitutes a mind, and how it works,
which is, which is the challenge.
Despite the many areas in which I am yet to discover more about the mind, I argue that
it is an ineffable entity, quite separate from the body/brain. Even though scientists
traditionally described the mind as the result of the human brain, I believe that it is far much
different such. For example, Rolls (2013) argues that the brain is the “central processing unit”
of the body, the part responsible for translating the mind’s content. From this Roll’s
argument, if the brain translates neuro-signatures to determine a person’s attitude, feelings,
thoughts, or his/her memories, then two perspectives about the mind emerges. First, it implies
that the brain would be determining what the mind is upon translating the neuro-signatures
thus, shaping the biochemistry and physiology of the body. Secondly, it also implies that the
mind could be a separate entity from the brain, but just responsible for housing that the brain
translates, such as thoughts and experiences.
From the neurophysiological aspect of human behavior, the mind is a separate entity
from the brain. The mind is a relational self-organizing process regulating information and
energy as they flow within brain (Arievitch, 2017). According to Arievitch, the mind is not
part of the brain, it extends beyond the activities of the brain. Inferentially, the appealing
element of this description of the mind is that it is beyond the physical or chemical processes
of the brain. Besides, it is relatively difficult to translate and disentangle what we perceive

about the environment without incorporating the experiences as we interact with it. I think the
mind is a separate entity from the brain since it is self-organizing, and extends beyond the
body system.

History of Women in Science:
20th Century
By
SofiA Bianconi
I picked the topic of Women of Science in History because I think it is
important to recognize their work. I tried to pick women who were mid
19th century to now for my timeline to show the developments of
women’s accomplishments in the field. Earlier in my timeline their are a
lot of women who influenced a lot of developments in the field but are not
recognized till later for their work.
1967 Dorothy Hodgkin: (Chemist) She developed
protein crystallography and won the Nobel Prize
for her work. 1967
1978 Lydia Villa-Komaroff: (Molecular, Cellular
Biologist) She helped discover how bacterial cells
can be used to
generate Insulin.
1988 Gertrude B. Elion: (Biochemist,
Pharmacologist) She helped the adaptation of
AZT(azidothymidine), the first drug used for
2015 Maria Klawe: (Computer Scientist) Klawe is
the first female president of Harvey Mudd
College and works hard to ignite passion about
STEM fields and has raised the number of women
Majoring in Computer Science.

I picked this range of time because I think that the late 19th century through the 20th century were where the
biggest discoveries and developments for science came from. It is a little blip in time for something that would
last forever, like the discovery that DNA is really a helix shape. I picked these events because I wanted to show,
and learn more about, the women behind the finds of many major things. The pioneer of radiology was a women.
She helped start the treatment for cancer. That is so cool. Researching how smells are processed in the brain and
what the brain does with them, back to the first women to become a Doctor in the 1840’s. The 1840’s! All these
finds were an important step to becoming the different types of science we know today and to recognize that not
just men were the scientists with the find, but that they worked with women to develop these technologies.
