Bio Entrepreneurs: Bill Gates

One of the most famous Entrepreneurs is Bill Gates. He is famous for being the richest man in the whole world and creating Microsoft. He entered many different kinds of courts fighting legal battles. He thinks that every office desktop and home should have a computer. Using Microsoft makes the computer easier to use. He left his junior year of college to go start the largest company the world knows of; Microsoft Corporation.

I think it's really cool that he created Microsoft because everyone uses it. Im surprised that he's the richest man in the world. I think he made the right choice creating this corporation because it has made computers a lot easier to use. I think in the future Microsoft would get even better and better programs will be made for everyone.

The Eye

On Thursday we had a lecture given by Dr.Pamela Fong,a optometrist, about the eye anatomy and pathology. She told us about the different parts of an eye including the iris, lens, cornea, pupils, vetrias, and optic nerves. The iris is the color part of your eye and the pupil is the barrier for your eyes. The pupil grows bigger when your in the dark because it is relaxing and when your in a room with light your pupil grows smaller because it's blocking the light. She told us that the lens are the secondary adjustment for the eye and that the first adjustment is the cornea. She also mentioned that if you are "near sighted" you have myopia meaning your cornea is too strong, if you were "far sighted" you would have hyperopia meaning your cornea is too weak. She showed us a couple of pictures of young eyes that still had sheens in them still. She explained to the class that sheens are in young eyes and it would go away once you get older. She talked about the eyelid protecting you from diseases and other infections.

After the lecture we went on with our lab, Sheep Eye Dissection. It was interesting seeing all the different parts of the eye preserved so nicely. When we started cutting the eye apart the vitreous humor started oozing out of the eye. Inside of the eye i could see its lens along with its cornea. The lens were round shaped, and a transparent yellow kind of color. On the side of the eye we could see a very nice green and blue color mixed together, which i thought was very pretty.

Overall i think this was a great experience. The Sheep Eye dissection was very interesting and i learned alot from it. I also enjoyed the lecture about the eye. I think the eye isn't as simple as it looks, there are many parts to the eye and its different functions.
