Study Notes
Genetically Modified Animals
- The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has been criticized for its decision not to approve genetically modified goats, developed by researchers at the University of California, Davis.
- These goats were modified to produce milk that could be used to treat and prevent childhood diarrhea.
- The researchers are moving their operation to Brazil because of the political climate in the United States.
- The rejection of the genetically modified goats could discourage further research in biotechnology in the United States.
- Some companies might be reluctant to invest in biotechnology research if they fear their products might not get FDA approval.
- Supporters of genetically modified animals argue that they are a healthy and relatively cheap food source that can reduce pressure on wild fish stocks.
College Admissions
- The overall acceptance rate for colleges and universities in the United States has remained at about 70% since the 1980s.
- Despite an increase in the number of applications, the acceptance rate has remained relatively stable.
- Selective schools, like Caltech, have seen a significant increase in applications but have maintained a low acceptance rate.
- Caltech received 3,595 applications this year, an 8% increase from the previous year.
- Applicants to these selective schools are increasingly talented, with many having perfect SAT scores.
- Admission to these schools requires more than just academic achievement; students are expected to demonstrate passion for science and technology through extracurricular activities and personal interests.
