Are you saying its a Parable?
The new testament would remind u a particular chapter is a parable, d book of Proverbs would xplain its concept too.. I doubt if its not a literary fish.
Well, We r getting somewhere..

mcfynest: THE STORY IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS....

PLS READ THE STORY AGAIN FROM BEGINNING.

SEA IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS

FISH IS NOT LITERAL FISH.

Whale isnt a Fish.

360command: Its the blue whale. Any other fish go chop Jonah finish

Hmm, its nt intended to tackle or tongue lash Christianity or d existence of God.. Lets talk abt d Mystery from a Logical perspective.

Judas2013: Each time christians use the Jonah story i always laugh. Christians can believe anything sha! Anyway as long as their are ignorant people on the planet,the rich will remain rich.

"Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights." (Jonah 1:17).

just Curious the kind of Fish it would have been. God works in a Mysterious way cos this beat scientific theories and its definately not a Whale..

Or is it a Story that has underlying meaning using the Sea, Jonah & the fish as a case study?

If dats ur point, I wud gladly counter u by saying Dr. Boyo acquired his D.Sc. (Ph.d) from China and well known for some Technological Innovations on and off Campus.

hitman2911: I am not surprised about this information. I met some Nigerian lecturers who are doing their Phd in my institution and was shocked about their level of education and queried their Masters degree.

These guys don't even know how to develop their research protocol and busy looking for contractors to do it for them just as they do back home. Some were doing wrong research for months. I kept on asking how do these guys teach in the higher institutions. Some just look for old projects and change title and name. Some years ago I asked my niece the title of her on going BSc project and she couldn't even remember. I got to know she just took her aunt old project and presented it as new

How do you explain a prof calling press conference to announce findings some even write academic books and do launching as if it a political rally

Thanks Jare , u jst spoke my mind, I wasnt ready to take d pain of typing .. Some numb skulls really need to get dis 2 their Cerebrum.

hitman2911: I can see that many on Nairaland are really ignorant of what it entails to put forward a scientific research finding.

Some of the comments here shows some of us are product of failed educational settings. What is in the Unilag rejoinder that is difficult to understand ? If you don't know what is been discussed then keep shout.

When did a newspaper became a peer reviewed journal or scientific conference for research presentation?
Few months ago a Prof at Uniben claimed to have found cure for HIV/AIDS, and called a press conference, he has to apologize when he was queried for his folly action.

If you really understand chemistry and physics, you will be appalled by this Unilag guy so called findings - an introductory technology magnetic experiment of primary /junior secondary school being showcased by a postgraduate student and claiming to have used to disproved homosexuality.
Why do we celebrate mediocrity? Many people who understood research on Nairaland actually spoke against earlier in the week. You need to go on internet and see comments from the global scientific community blasting Nigeria, calling it a state with failed education country which is true. Just because a f... lish old man and ignorant reporter decided to open our yansh in stuwpidity.

The issue became a hot cake because of its homosexuality connection. Part of scientific research ethics is that you don't bring your prejuiced religious or sexuality into your research and produced a biased finding.
Whoever is this guy supervisor who approved sure nonsense needs to be sanctioned for dragging Unilag on floor. If you have anything against homo then don't drag others into it.

Olodo, d Dr. Boyo I know doesnt stand as an Authority in that kind of research, dats not his specialization so aw can e back it??
Btw, d std is a PGD Chem Eng. Std nt in Dr. Boyo's Dept..

The guy even lack a science background based on research, e studied Education Chemistry..

cold: Disturbingly, his “discoveries” have been backed by Dr. Henry Boyo at the Department of Physics at the University of Lagos. He said: “You can quote me anywhere, the guy’s concept is germane and it has been scientifically proven to be true
A senior lecturer in his department backed up his claims so what are they on about? But i've gotta say that research & its findings are deeply flawed

Is This day Newspaper a Scientific Journal or Editorial, lets b rational in our comments.

3ace: If the research was weak and cheap, how come it made news on THISDAY Newspaper?

@ d capitali.. Word ; nw aw wud they understand ur Simple Grammar if this aw u want to b communicating?

jovial99: Pls,those having problem with printing of acknowledgement slip shouldn't loose hope. It is all about technical problem. The fact dat d instruction says dat u can't edit after payment doesn't mean u can't print ur acknowledgement slip,it is 4 one 2 be meticulous in filling d forms as not 2 contradict issues. (E.g) if u choose Economics as ur course of study make sure dat it is economics cos after payment ur profile will automatically be backed up which will not allow u 2 change dat ur course of study paredventure u WISHES 2 change it. We should always try 2 understand simple grammar. So those experiencing difficulties shouldn't loose hope.

Hmm.. First Class...

Objection My Lord, U can Mingle well with d opp sex (wit maturity) and come out with flying colours - dont dispute that..

U must av d mindset frm day1 and nt by Fire Brigade approach..

And seriously, going to Bowen, Redeemers, Convenant, JABU, et al gives u 90% guaranty (if conditions are met). As far as public skus are concerned, ther r uncertainties to tackle even if all ur listed recommendations are undertaken...

And mind u, ther is no decline in d num of first class, Naija has been recording increase..

Also, U CANT BUY A FIRST CLASS Degree and av NEVA seen a Dull First Class Graduate, haters, go and follow those steps and stop talking abt runs (it will only fetch u a 2.2 cos u were heading for a Pass)

Make all these undergraduate mk us hear word, any comment for thread na to refer to ASUU? Na u b first? Even sef, nobi u go b d last..

Jamji: i dont know if ASUU strike has helped nairaland or not

NL Comedy, u guys wont kill me wit laughter.

yuzedo: I wish I have a girls to be askin me all this question.

2013 - my year of gettin babe. I willnot release u lord unless u blessed me!

A frend working @ NiS, Ikoyi jst filled dis nite (11pm), infact he helped sm guys using d pay4me online platform and it generated d val Id n acknowledge slip was printed instanta..
E dint near d bank @ all..
If u wanna take d risk of online payment
1. Mk sure u bank with d listed 1s
2. Try late @ night ( 4get dat red leta note saying ntwork probs)

Without a Buhari, APC remains an Illusion cos even with his presence, it still pose to b a Child's play...

:..... A neutral Man, dnt call me GEJ follower...
Lemme end with my usual line::
** Crisis beautifies Democracy**

2015 wud b interesting...

Objection My Lord!!
I put it to u dat sm coys use d gmail n ymail platform for cv retrieval ( a way to reduce applicant no esp d "well informed"..
- I got a job in a well known firm through this ( bt na d big coy we all crave for)
Cv na pure water nowwww....
Getting a domain isnt a big deal... Send ya cv anywhere jare if d package mk sense bt dont go anywhere when invited for a test or interview. ( dis wen u can start checking for d validity)

u lost ur privacy d day u start uploading ur cv online, so y u dey fear to send d cv..

Bt for d mobile... Hahahahah, dats an "amateurish" scamming technique..

Garri as a cassava by product remains xpensive oooo... it remains d reference point cos its d cheapest produce.. therefore, NbS analysis na jargobssss oooooo

Says who? Ther is a column for 2013 jere.. D date shud be when u collected ur discharge certificate..

Mz nAirA: Please I filled the application form today but I need advice on an issue... For my nysc certification date I put 5/11/2012 and its supposed to be 2013 but there was no column for 2013 there.... Hope it won't be a problem (am a batch c corp member)

Please we want Creativity not WIKIPEADITY or GOOGlity..
[quote author=Laalamed]A biomedical scientist (biomedician,
biomedical doctor, medical
scientist , clinical scientist) is a
scientist trained in biology , particularly
in the context of medicine . These
scientists work to gain knowledge on
the main principles of how the
human body works and to find new
ways to cure or treat disease by
developing advanced diagnostic tools
or new therapeutic strategies . The
research of biomedical scientists is
referred to as biomedical research .
Biomedical scientists can have a
particular focus on basic , pre-clinical ,
or translational research . While
biomedical scientists specifically focus
on understanding the human body
and disease, scientists educated in
other fields also contribute greatly to
advancements in medical knowledge,
including biologists, biomedical
engineers, chemists , and physicists.
In the United Kingdom , the term
"biomedical scientist" as related to the
health service has a different meaning
than in other parts of the world,
specifically referring to a class of
healthcare professional that performs
clinical pathology services.
Description
The specific activities of the
biomedical scientist can differ in
various parts of the world and vary
with the level of education. Generally
speaking, biomedical scientists
conduct research in a laboratory
setting, using living organisms as
models to conduct experiments .
These can include cultured human or
animal cells grown outside of the
whole organism, small animals such
as flies , worms , fish , mice , and rats,
or, rarely, larger animals and primates.
Biomedical scientists may also work
directly with human tissue specimens
to perform experiments as well as
participate in clinical research .
Biomedical scientists employ a variety
of techniques in order to carry out
laboratory experiments. These
include:
Molecular and biochemical
techniques
Electrophoresis and blotting
Immunostaining
Chromatography
Mass spectrometry
PCR and sequencing
Microarrays
Imaging technologies
Light , fluorescence , and
electron microscopy
MRI
PET
X-ray
Genetic engineering/modification
Transfection
Viral transduction
Transgenic model organisms
Electrophysiology techniques
Patch clamp
EEG, EKG, ERG
In silico techniques
Bioinformatics
Computational biology
Level of education
Biomedical scientists typically obtain a
terminal academic degree , usually a
doctorate. (PhD, DSc, DPhil, etc.) This
degree is necessary for faculty
positions at academic institutions, as
well as senior scientist positions at
most companies. Some biomedical
scientists also possess a medical
degree (MD , DO , MBBS, etc.) in
addition to an academic degree.
Work environment
Academics
This category includes tenured faculty
positions at universities, colleges, non-
profit research institutes , and
sometimes hospitals . These positions
usually afford more intellectual
freedom and give the researcher
more latitude in the direction and
content of the research. Scientists in
academic settings, in addition to
conducting experiments, will also
attend scientific conferences, compete
for research grant funding, publish
scientific papers , and teach classes.
Industry Industry jobs refer to private
sector jobs at for-profit corporations.
In the case of biomedical scientists,
employment is usually at large
pharmaceutical companies or
biotechnology companies. Positions in
industry tend to pay higher salaries
than those at academic institutions,
but job security compared to tenured
academic faculty is significantly less.
Researchers in industry tend to have
less intellectual freedom in their
research than those in the academic
sector, owing to the ultimate goal of
producing marketable products that
benefit the company.
Non-Traditional Career Paths
In recent years, more biomedical
scientists have pursued careers where
advanced education and experience
in biomedical research is needed
outside of traditional laboratory
research. These areas include patent
law , consulting , public policy, and
science journalism . The primary
reason for growth in these areas is
that in recent years fewer positions
are available in traditional academic
research relative to the number of
seekers; approximately 15-20% of PhD
life scientists will obtain a tenure-track
position or lab-head position in
industry. [1]

Here isnt a show for Chauvinism.. Give constructive comments let odas learn..

donchrisk: Sory sir its late to become an AMLSCN. Some of u were lincense 2 practice via intenship programm organised by the council. But its has 2 stop based on some dats i can not explain here. Its 2 late God bless MLS

License to practice as a med lab scientist.

ngozievergreen: licensed to do what exactly?

Bro, wots d essense of post grad diploma and professional certification?
Cmon, a grad of BMS and allied field going for a DE in a very very similar field is uncalled for..
Its politics n done try and quote and pathology, bla bla... Those terms ar not new to BMS grad either..
This not Medicine or Dentistry, the Hype and Protocol is jst too much..
Every 1 wants to Monopolize his field..

Thats makes Management Sciences far more accomodating..

Lemme tell u now, I av a friend who studied mcb abroad, did a 6mnths associate in Chemical Pathology, came to Naija for NYSC, applied for membership in MLSCN in 2012 and was entitled to d 1 year internship programme..

Nw why d preferential treatment

enny09: but do you know that nigeria universities now offer medical laborarory scientist as a course and award BMLS (Bachelor of medical laboratory science) to MLS graduates and not Bsc, so if u will like to be one them, it will better to pick a direct entry form from UTME, or just forget about it. MLS is not microbiology it is divided into 4 area of specialization
1. Heamatolgy and blood transfusion
2. Histopathology and cytology
3. Chemical pathology
4. microbiology and parasitology
hence u will not b allow to have internship in MLS, because u will have to pass thru all d 4 listed above specialization, That is d reason MLSCN (medical laboratory science council of nigeria) scrap Bsc microbiology associate programme cos we now have university offering the programme if u want to b a MLS then put in for it from the university, and there are no shortage of MLS so y would they allow a one or two year associate programme when they are planing to have nigerian universities offering DMLS (Doctor of Medical Laboratory Science) as it is been done in UK and many countries. so how will Bsc microbiology or biochemistry fit into the system.

In d good old days, graduates of anatomy, physio, medical mic, med parasitology, et al ar entitled to d licensce of d Medical Laboratory Science Society of Nigeria only if u offer a post graduate dip. Course in med. Lab science and write and pass d subsequent professional exams.
Now, smtyms in 2008/2009, d constitution changed.
Why, ? Med Lab Science Major believe they wud soon bcom extinct cos oda bms grad wit d licence ar more diverse than them.,
politics entered, d new constitution stipulates u must av a BMLS either through utme or Direct Entry ( they xpect oda BMS 2 start frm 200L after 5yrs B.Sc. N NYSC, Imagine?)
This alone pose a threat to d dreams of most cos u canneva xtablish and control a Med Lab without this liscence..
They left most pple hopes in Shambles!!

Thats not d norms inAdvance Countries...

Av seen Zoology, Mcb and even BcH grad xtablish a lab with full accreditation and license (when d constitution was still favourable)..

High Point : Nigerians are the problems of Nigerians.

D best thing for BMS now is to increase their research prowess, go into academics or deviate into d corporate field by acquiring d required professional certification.

Beta deal wit d Bird @ hand first,..
Aw sure r u dat u wud b selected for assis inspect?
Btw, Febr is stil far, wen d tym cums, u ll no wot to do but mk sure u make do wit d 1 @ hand nt the 1 u av by Faith..

Oersted: Pls house i need constructive advise on dis issue,which is better,becoming an airforce officer(ordinary airman) and trainning is starting Feb next year or an immigration officer as asst inspector.Which of them is better in pay and in career?Tanx as u giv ur advise

Bro, I dey, nobi fight, I was jst concerned.

First Principle:
dr dam how you dey?

Not in dis century!!
U:S:A alone has over 2500 universities with d larger percentage with d required modern infrastructure and edifice, then u talk about other developed countries..

Naija is a 3rd world country.
High point : No Nigerian University deserves to be...

U av a prob..?
Y is it dat u always post null??

First Principle: .

There r fatter cows playing well..
Are u a learner??

engineerd: what i wanna know is if that fat cow in the first picture can even bounce a basketball.....that dude is ROTUND!

Wao!! @ wot age? Its too early to say this....

braine: Every graduate should really read this.. My life would have been much better if I had known earlier.

Kosogbon te le da, kosi wa te lo wu, kosona te le gba, te le fi taiye lorun o!!!
