Here are the descriptions provided on the website:
Located in historic Providence, Rhode Island and founded in 1764, Brown University is the seventh-oldest college in the United States. Brown is an independent, coeducational Ivy League institution comprising undergraduate and graduate programs, plus the Alpert Medical School and the School of Engineering.
With its talented and motivated student body and accomplished faculty, Brown is a leading research university that maintains a particular commitment to exceptional undergraduate instruction.
Yale’s roots can be traced back to the 1640s, when colonial clergymen led an effort to establish a college in New Haven to preserve the tradition of European liberal education in the New World. This vision was fulfilled in 1701, when the charter was granted for a school “wherein Youth may be instructed in the Arts and Sciences [and] through the blessing of Almighty God may be fitted for Publick employment both in Church and Civil State.” In 1718 the school was renamed “Yale College” in gratitude to the Welsh merchant Elihu Yale, who had donated the proceeds from the sale of nine bales of goods together with 417 books and a portrait of King George I.

Dance- It's That Simple to Describe
For me dancing is more than a passion, it a way for me to vent out all my feelings through movements and I thank God for giving me this body to work with. Every hand posture I make every eye movement I make it comes from the soul, which I don't know where it is exactly.
Here is a video of a dance by a famous dance school in India which has inspired me to move on with my dreams, there is no stopping me.
I will dream on, but in order to make those dreams come true, I must be observant, respectful to my peers and family, face reality with resilience, and never let those dreams die.

Cell Signaling
There are so many molecules which interact with cell surface receptors and endogenous ligands and there are so many cascading pathways and this is a fundamental part of our lives. Sometimes I do wonder how did we become such perfect humans, it is like someone perfectly packaged in all of our the organs and the mechanisms which we need to function at our best.

Premordial Soup or Primordial Soup?
I found this interesting article on primordial soup. Read this:
The Primordial Soup Theory suggest that life began in a pond or ocean as a result of the combination of chemicals from the atmosphere and some form of energy to make amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, which would then evolve into all the species.
The Primordial Soup Theory states that Life began in a warm pond/ocean from a combination of chemicals that forms amino acids, which then make proteins. This is suppose to happen at least 3.8 billion to 3.55 billion years ago.
The Russian Chemist A.I. Oparin and English Geneticist J.B.S. Haldane first conceived of this idea. Both developed this theory independently in 1920.
In this theory, the basic building blocks of life came from simple molecule which formed in the atmosphere (w/o oxygen). This was then energized by lightning and the rain from the atmosphere created the "organic soup". The first organisms would have to be simple heterotrophs in order to survive by consuming other organisms for energy before means of photosynthesis. They would become autotrophs by mutation. Evidence now suggest the first organisms were autotrophs
Chemist Stanley Miller and physicist Harold Urey did a famous experiment in 1950 to test this theory. They mixed gases thought to be present on primitive earth:
| Methane (CH4) | |
| Ammonia (NH3) | |
| Water (H2O) | |
| Hydrogen (H2) | |
| No Oxygen |
