Sci 362 Nobel Prize In Biological Sciences1 4term Paper Guidelines

Write a comprehensive review paper about your assigned Nobel Prize laureate in the biological sciences. The paper should include a short biography, an analysis of their major scientific achievements and impacts, and your personal reflection. The biography should cover birth and death details, education, career highlights, and awards. The achievements section must focus on the Nobel-winning research and its significance to biology. Your personal reflection should analyze what you learned through research and organizing a panel about the scientist. The paper must follow specific formatting rules, include proper citations, and be submitted by the deadline.

Paper For Above instruction

The laureate's full name, birth date/place, and death date (if applicable) should be stated at the top, centered, and bold, followed by the Nobel Prize and the year. The paper should be organized into three main sections:

1. Short Biography

This section should detail the scientist’s birth and death dates and places, family background, educational history from undergraduate through graduate studies, major career milestones, and a list of notable awards. For example, "Marie Curie (7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934)" and the Nobel Prizes she received.

2. Major Scientific Achievements and Impacts

This section should summarize the scientist’s key scientific contributions, emphasizing those that led to the Nobel Prize and their significance within biological sciences. Discuss the scientific background of their Nobel-winning work, its implications for biology, and its influence on subsequent research. Avoid simply listing awards; focus on the scientific narrative and impact.

3. My Reflection

Provide your personal insights gained from researching the scientist and organizing a panel on their work. Include any observations, questions, or remarks that reflect your engagement with the material. This section should demonstrate critical thinking and personal connection to the research topic.

The entire paper should be approximately 2,500 to 5,000 words, written in American English, double-spaced, using 12-point Times New Roman font. Figures and tables, if included, must be referenced and captioned in the text, formatted with "FIGURE" or "TABLE" in capital letters, followed by a dash and the caption. Sources for figures/tables should be cited in the caption. References must follow the "name-year" citation style of the CSE manual and be compiled separately in a dedicated references document. All references cited in the text should be listed in detail, including authors, publication year, title, journal or publisher, volume, pages, and DOI or URL when applicable. Submissions are made via Blackboard before the final exam deadline, with two separate files: one for the paper content and figures/tables, and another for references.

Ensure that all writing is free of grammatical and spelling errors, using metric units, and formatted according to the guidelines provided. The final paper contributes substantially to your grade, with points allocated for length, format, citations, content quality, and personal reflection.
