Dr. Dunston’s lecture was also one that was enlightening. I was not aware exactly what the Human Genome Project was until Dr. Dunston spoke of it. Because of this lecture I am know more interested in doing more research on the Human Genome Project. I had no idea how big this project really is. I had no idea that our genes actually listen to us and respond to us based on experiences- the more that we experience, the more that we can learn. There are even ways that you can get personalized medicine that can match our genome type. Thinking is a biological process. We must think about everything and anything we possibly can. We must think about what we think about. As Einstein mentioned, “thinking is a reality that resides in you.” She also mentioned that knowledge is power and in order to truly be successful, we must have power. If you want to be successful you have to be willing to take the time to learn all the knowledge you possibly can to avoid becoming ignorant. She mentioned that your battleground is your mind. I personally enjoyed this quote because your mind is everything, which goes back to the statement that knowledge is power. Dr. Dunston was very passionate in her talk about the Human Genome Project and her feelings about knowledge. She really believes and wants us to believe that knowledge really is everything. She was able to keep my attention because of her emotion throughout the lecture.
