She grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico, where her dad studied <a href="#25" data-featherlight="glossary">nuclear</a> <a href="#154" data-featherlight="glossary">chemistry</a>. Discussions about chemistry, physics, and rockets surrounded her, and she would often stare up at the night sky to catch a glimpse of a meteor shower or the International Space Station passing by. But she was even more curious about what was <em>below</em> her feet: What makes an insect different from a rock? What does the <a href="#223" data-featherlight="glossary">microscopic</a> world look like? She received a microscope one year for her birthday and carried it with her everywhere so she could try to answer these questions. </p> <p><strong>Global Experiences</strong></p> <p>Haley took an advanced biology class in high school, where she learned not only about the living world, but also the many exciting scientific careers available, such as becoming a researcher. She moved to Tacoma, Washington, and earned a bachelor&#8217;s degree from Pacific Lutheran University (PLU), where she majored in biology and global religion. </p> <a href="https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/2024/11/haley-bridgewater-taking-the-sting-out-of-vaccines/#more-14019" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> &#8220;Haley Bridgewater: Taking the Sting Out of Vaccines&#8221;</span></a> </div><!-- .entry-content --> </article><!-- #post-## --> <article id="post-13974" class="post-13974 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-being-a-scientist category-chemistry-biochemistry-and-pharmacology category-molecular-structures tag-cryo-electron-microscopy tag-profiles"> <header class="entry-header"> <div class="entry-meta"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on</span> <a href="https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/2024/11/investigating-the-inner-workings-of-ion-channels-with-sudha-chakrapani/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="2024-11-06T10:20:21-05:00">November 6, 2024</time></a></div><!-- .entry-meta --><h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/2024/11/investigating-the-inner-workings-of-ion-channels-with-sudha-chakrapani/" rel="bookmark">Investigating the Inner Workings of Ion Channels With Sudha Chakrapani</a></h2><div class="entry-meta"> by <a href="https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/author/kimberly-rousseau/" title="Posts by Kimberly Smith" class="author url fn" rel="author">Kimberly Smith</a></div><!-- .entry-meta --><div style="font-size:0.8em; font-style:italic; color: #595959;">0 comments</div> </header><!-- .entry-header --> <div class="post-thumbnail"> <a href="https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/2024/11/investigating-the-inner-workings-of-ion-channels-with-sudha-chakrapani/"> <img width="953" height="477" src="https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BioBeat-11.6.2024-featured.png" class="attachment-twentyseventeen-featured-image size-twentyseventeen-featured-image wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BioBeat-11.6.2024-featured.png 953w, https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BioBeat-11.6.2024-featured-500x250.png 500w, https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BioBeat-11.6.2024-featured-300x150.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px" /> </a> </div><!-- .post-thumbnail --> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="wp-block-image biobeat-img img-after-heading-space"> <figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="175" height="219" src="https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BioBeat-11.6.2024-1.jpg" alt="A headshot of Dr. Chakrapani." class="wp-image-13979" style="width:200px"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Credit: Courtesy of Dr. Sudha Chakrapani.</figcaption></figure></div> <p>“Curiosity was a central theme in my learning process,” says <a href="https://case.edu/medicine/pharmacology/people/sudha-chakrapani">Sudha Chakrapani, Ph.D.<span class="exit-disclaimer"></span></a>, a professor and chair of the department of <a href="#37" data-featherlight="glossary">pharmacology</a> at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

(Just like humans, bacteria are susceptible to <a href="#91" data-featherlight="glossary">viral</a> infections!) Some bacteria are able to insert short sequences of DNA from viruses that previously infected them into their own <a href="#131" data-featherlight="glossary">genome</a>, allowing them to “remember” and more quickly recognize that virus in the future. If the invader tries to attack again, the bacterium recognizes and kills it by chopping up the part of its DNA that matches the “memory” using a special type of protein, an <a href="#118" data-featherlight="glossary">enzyme</a> called CRISPR-Associated (Cas) protein.

At NIGMS, we work to get students interested in careers in health science. Read on to learn about some of the different jobs that biomedical scientists do and the level of education they require. (Find more info on the different education paths in our <a href="https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/2024/08/how-can-i-become-a-biomedical-scientist/">first post of this series</a>.)

After high school, some science-loving students choose to follow a path to becoming a doctor or a teacher, but those are just two of the many biomedical scientific careers available.

The body of a hydra consists of a thin tubelike stalk that’s about an inch long with several tentacles extending from one end. Some hydras can grow an armlike extension that eventually pops off the main stem to become a new hydra.</p> <p>Humans have studied hydras for hundreds of years. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, one of the earliest known <a href="#223" data-featherlight="glossary">microscopists</a>, first described them in 1703 when he looked at water samples under a microscope. You can see hydras—whose bodies are about the length of a paperclip—without them, but microscopes help researchers see their shape in better detail. Scientists commonly use hydras as <a href="#56" data-featherlight="glossary">research organism</a>s because of their incredible ability to regrow lost body parts after injury through a process called <a href="#54" data-featherlight="glossary">regeneration</a>.</p> <a href="https://biobeat.nigms.nih.gov/2024/07/research-organism-superheroes-hydras/#more-13539" class="more-link">Continue
