Week 3

                                                                 Ask a Scientist

As I explored the Ask a Scientist website I learned about how Stem cells can help our brains.  I also learned we only are born with 100 billion cells.  What I wanted to learn was “If we are only born with 100 billion cells in our brain, and we loss the dopamine, which cause Parkinson’s, how, can brain surgery mimic the dopamine that was lost. Can Stem cells replenish this dopamine?” I have been waiting for the answer to this question, but as of today I still have not heard back from the Ask a Scientist site.  

The ask the scientist is a good site to use and for students to research information they might want to learn about, but overall I still think the best way to learn is through research.  Which ask a scientist is research, but sometimes it gives the students the easy way out by giving them the answers. 

The main problem I had with the Ask a Scientist site is I still do not have an answer to my question and I would like to know the answer.
