Annotated Bibliography

Just a few notes on the Annotated Bibliography to turn in on Monday. Mostly, you will simply copy and paste what you've already done at goodwriting.editme.com into a MS Word document so you can print it out and turn it in. That is, you will keep both the bibliography information and the paragraph(s) summarizing and responding to the article.

After that, you'll need to make sure that you have the correct format. Are you using APA, MLA, or another style? See what the journal requires. If you're not certain, visit or email me. According to the journal format you're using, it should be either alphabetical or perhaps numerical in order, which means that the summaries you have can't stay in the same order as they are at goodwriting.editme.com.

I took two examples from goodwriting.editme.com to post here. Notice that the two authors are in alphabetical order. The difference between here and in print is that you need to indent (tab) the second and third lines of the bibliography information. I wasn't quite sure how to do that on this blog, but it's easy in MS Word. Also, I had problems getting the font and font size the same for all the entries, but again, that's easy to do in MS Word.

Paul Elias, a biotechnology writer, calls synthetic biologist “bold” because of what they are claiming. Synthetic biologists believe to make living thing one molecule after another. They are mostly combining DNA’s chemical computers for a better future, which will be to make biologically based computers and an more improvement in medicine. That group of biologists, synthetic biologists, gathered together after 30 years of work from other scientists who tried to combine genetic materials of two species which was not successful. Synthetic biologists bring in a different approach that consist of using the same strategies in architecture and computerization. Synthetic Biologists have created a polio virus and another smaller virus. The world tiniest computer has been created in Israel by engineering DNA to carry out mathematical functions. The biological revolution has been a money attraction. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated millions in grant to the creation of a new malaria drug.

This article gives an overview of what synthetic biologists really do and what their intentions. It does show that they are determined to improve our world. The article gives information to those who are interested in synthetic biology, what the goals really are, and what is involved in their researches.

In this article, Dan Hamburg talks about another issue concerning the controversial issue: Thimerosal in Vaccines. Since Thimerosal has been added in vaccines, Autism has rose except for those who have been exempt because of religious reasons. While Autism has increased among children being vaccinated, it has not been among populations that do not get any vaccines. To prevent pharmaceutical companies from being sued, the President has passed a law prohibit parent from suing pharmaceutical companies for reasons such as Autism.

There is evidence that can definitely relate Thimerosal and Autism even though the relation between them has not been proved. The fact that Autism has not been found among people like the Amish should be used in order to prove that mercury in vaccines in harmful.
