Fighting cancer With space research?

Hey guys I'm back.
And today I will be writing about a new space thing that's happening right now. 

NGC 3718, NGC 3729 and other galaxies
Galaxies have been analysed using machine learning algorithms. The same
technology  has now been applied to cancer images as well.
So I was told to go on to NASA's blog and find something new that was happening and research about it. And I found this which caught my attention. nnn

Every day, NASA spacecraft beam down hundreds of petabytes of data, all of which has to be codified, stored and distributed to scientists across the globe. For the past 15 years these techniques have revolutionized biomedical research. On September 6, 2016, JPL and National Cancer Institute renewed a research partnership through 2021, making so that data science that originated in space exploration is now supporting cancer discoveries.

In the time they have worked together, JPL and EDRN‘s efforts have led to the discovery of six new Food and medicine Administration-approved cancer biomarkers and nine biomarkers approved for use in Laboratory Improvement Amendments labs. The FDA has approved each of these biomarkers for use in cancer research and diagnosis. These biomarkers have been used in more than 1 million patient diagnostic tests worldwide.

Well that's all for now guys, there is more in the article but most of it is more about other types of data rather from the cancer research. BYE!!!

SPACE INQUIRY!!!

Hey guys I'm back, and today I will be writing about a space activity that I have completed.

The space activity that did was the maths activity which was to figure out my weight on every planet in our solar system. I don't want to bore with a bunch of maths... but I will. I got the equation mass x gravity = weight, but I was also told that your weight isn't your mass. So I divided my weight by earths' gravity and got my mass. Then I multiplied my mass to the gravity of all the different planets. 

Honestly there wasn't too much to enjoy about this task. It was slightly funny to see my weights on other planets, but that was it. In this task I learned how gravity is measured, how to figure out my mass and I roughly remember the different gravity of other planets. I didn't really learn any more skills because it was just a maths activity.

Well that's all for now, BYE!!!

Time management skills? (what time management skills?)

Hey guys, I'm back.

And today I will be writing about my time management skills. I know I know, you'll all be like, "DJ, You don't have any time management skills (let alone any)." And I'll say,
"Well, you may be right, but I'm making this post anyway.

Time management is extremely important for all people. It's a basic life skill that everyone needs to master. Especially when you get to points in your life through out and after college. I think my time management skills are alright. I always finish my tasks either before or on Friday (unless I'm sick during the week). I take a few tasks home everyday and I do most of my tasks at home. When I have time I try to complete as many tasks as I can at school, but I admit I do at times mess around with my friends. I do think most of the time I'm making the most of the time I have, but sometimes I do mess around a bit. Some things that help me concentrate are not friends distracting me. What I do to stay concentrated is to tune out of everything and just focus on my work.

Well that's all for. Seeya.
