    Justin wrote a new post, Breaking A Social Norm, on the site Justin Tubbs' E-Portfolio 4 years, 5 months ago

    The social norm I broke was riding with another person on a bicycle meant for two people. I had never intended to break this cultural norm, as it happened on a whim, nor had I even thought about it being a […]

    Jezewski’s model of culture brokering was originally developed for use in the health care field, and it is easy to see how this model could facilitate cultural exchange and mediation between patient and p […]

    Justin wrote a new post, Overstating Genetic Findings, on the site Spit for Science Blog 4 years, 10 months ago

    Dr. Lieberman, a physician at Columbia University, cautions the media and general public about recent genetic findings. He warns that many times the media overstates the implications of genetic research, when […]

      I really didn’t know much about genetic research before we had speakers come to class, but I can see why Dr. Lieberman might be concerned. My idea of genetic research might have been limited, but from the things I’d read online he was right to think that it was being marketed as a much simpler process than it was. I was grossly misinformed and it wasn’t until research was put into context for me that I understood just how complicated genetic research could be.

    I enjoy how tea in China is celebrated and retained as a unique aspect of their culture. It seems that in the United States, as with many other cultural objects, tea has become homogenized and mass-produced to the point where it retains little cultural significance or uniqueness. In contrast, Chinese tea culture is unique, specialized, and very…[Read more]

    I’ve seen articles that mention crispr, but I never really understood how it worked, but this article does a good job of explaining it. I thought it was strange that one of the points they made in the article supporting this as effective, is that a majority of human diseases are single-point mutations. I would have thought that a majority of the…[Read more]

    I’ve read quite a few studies that mention the link between cannabis use and schizophrenia and depression, but that do not go into detail about why this might be. I think it is something that deserves more research done to understand the cause of this relationship and how it affects public health and drug policy.
