The Making of Scientist

 

Richard Ebright

Introduction

Richard Ebright is a scientist who has worked on cells. his research started with his interest in butterflies. he collected them and found out their types. then he went to work on cells. he won several prizes for his projects. he explained his theory on cells in an important scientific general. if is theory proves right, it will be of great help to understand life processes. he had all the qualities that go for the making of a scientist. he is not only a scientist but also an all-rounder personality.

हिंदी सारांश

रिचर्ड एब्राइट एक वैज्ञानिक हैं जिन्होंने कोशिकाओं का कार्य किया है| उनका शोध कार्य तितलियों में उनकी रुचि से आरंभ हुआ| उन्होंने उनका संग्रह किया और उनके प्रकारों का पता लगाया| फिर उन्होंने कोशिकाओं पर कार्य किया| उन्हें उनके परियोजना कार्य के लिए कई पुरस्कार प्राप्त हुए| उन्होंने एक महत्वपूर्ण वैज्ञानिक शोध संबंधी पत्रिका में कोशिकाओं पर अपने सिद्धांत की व्याख्या की| यदि उनका सिद्धांत सही सिद्ध होता है तो यह जीवन की प्रतिक्रियाओं को समझने में बहुत सहायक होगा| उनमें एक वैज्ञानिक बनने के सभी गुण थे| वह मात्र एक वैज्ञानिक नहीं बल्कि एक बहुमुखी व्यक्तित्व हैं|

Read and find out

Q1. How did a book become a turning point in Richard Ebright’s life?

Ans. Ebright’s mother called ‘the travel of monarch X’. at the end of the book, readers were invited to help study butterfly migrations. they had to take butterflies which were to be sent to dr. Urquhart. many butterflies were not easy. so Ebright would catch a female monarch, take her egg and raise them through their life cycle. then he would add their wings and let them go. Thus, the book turned him from butterfly collecting to butterfly raising. This was the turning point of his life and the beginning of a career as a scientist.


Q2. How did his mother help him?

Ans. Ebright's mother always encourages his interest in learning. she took him on trips. about him telescopes microscopes cameras and other equipment. she found things for him to learn.

Q1. What lesson does Ebright learn when he does not win anything at a science fair?

Ans. Ebright shows slides of frog shoes under a microscope at a science fair. he loses. he realizes that when I had tried to do real experiments. he Learns that simply making a need display is not enough to win.


Q2. What experiments and projects do he then undertake?

Ans. He undertakes the following experiments and projects for science fair: he tries to find the cause of a viral disease in monarch caterpillars. he tests the theory that viceroy butterflies copy monarch. He finds out the purpose of gold spots on a monarch pupa. He shows that spots produced Hormone necessary for the butterfly’s full development. he grows cells from a monarch’s wig. he shows that these cells develop into the butterfly Wings scale only if they are fed the hormone from the gold spots. he developed his theory on how cells work.


Q3. What are the qualities that go into the making of a scientist?

Ans. A first read mind return on curiosity is the first quality that goes into the making of a scientist. Then one must have the will for the right reasons. All these qualities make one a scientist.


Think about it

Q1. How can one become a scientist, an economist, a historian……? does it simply involve reading many books on the subject? does it involve observing, thinking, and doing experiments?

Ans. For being a scientist, an economist, historian, etc. one must have a sharp mind. then there should be curious to know more. along with reading books, it involves observing, thinking, and doing experiments too. to there should be able to win for the right reasons.


Q2. You must have read about cells and DNA in your science books. discuss Richard’s Ebright work in light of what you have studied. if you get an opportunity to work like Richard Ebright on projects and experiments, which field would you like to work on and why?

Ans. I have read that cells are the smallest unit of the living being. DNA is a substance in the nucleus of a cell. it controls heredity. Richard Ebright studied the purpose of Golden spots on Monarch pupa. based on this study he gave his theory on how cells work. he gave the theory about how the cell can read the blueprint of its DNA. if his theory proved correct, it will help prevent some deadly diseases. if I find an opportunity to work with Ebright, I would choose this field itself. further experiments in this field can lead to healthier humanity.
