Can a person go with research in his interested areas in AFMC?
Yes. From marine medicine to high altitude, you have full liberty to do research in areas of your interest.There's a Student Scientific Society in the College which organises workshops for the students to make them aware of the various aspects of UG research. Also you can take part in Symposiums and paper presentation.The faculty give you full support in carrying out your research.
How could I publish a scientific research paper in the field of algae?
Since I'm not working in Phycology and its associated branches, I could not suggest you proper methods in this. But here are some points to be taken to WRITE a paper:Read as much research papers as you could in the field of your interest. Go through PubMed - NCBI to search for the papers of your interest. Go through research papers as well as review articles. Notice the language, tone, voice and technicality of the paper along with the topics involved.By this literature survey you can know what work has been done up till now and what more you can do in your field of interest.Try to include an expert in the field in your work. Show him your work. Ask what other things are need to be done and much more. For this you need to develop your own research network.Keep a track of which papers you have read, along with their link, writer's name, the name of the journal and the year in which they got published. You can make an excel sheet. This would help you to manage your references. You could also use Free reference manager - Mendeley and other software for this purpose.Use plagiarism software to avoid this case.Find journals suitable for your paper. This is the toughest work. You need to consult the expert to know which journal would be the best to publish the paper.And for setting up bioreactor in college. You need to consult your Department head and would have to show him/her the importance of this bioreactor. I don't have much info about this though.
Is there a kind of scientist that studies starfish?
One good place to send this question is the Montereay Bay Aquarium. I would bet that there is a person or two studying starfish at this place. http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/aquar... There are some starfish on this page: http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/anima...
Does government funding for research come with strings attached?
That's because most denialist have no experience competing for, receiving or filling the requirements of federal grant funding. There is absolutely no requirement to support any conclusion previously supported. In fact, the number one way to not get a grant request approved is to promise to not add *new* knowledge. I'm part of a very large specialty crops grant supported half by the USDA and half by private funds. I have as much of an obligation to satisfy the private interests in this case as I do the public and guess what??? *gasp* the private interests are concerned about the productivity of their crops in a "changing climate..." those socialist pigs!
What's the difference between "marine science" and "marine biology"?
1)Marine science is ====Scientific discipline concerned with all aspects of the world's oceans and seas, including their physical and chemical properties, origin and geology, and life forms. Research entails sampling seawater and marine life, remote sensing of oceanic processes with aircraft and satellites, and exploration of the seafloor. Oceanography aids in predicting weather and climate, in exploitation of the Earth's resources, and in understanding the effects of pollutants.

Marine biologists study the relations between ocean phenomena and the distribution and adaptations of organisms. Of particular interest are adaptations to the chemical and physical properties of seawater, the movements and currents of the ocean, the availability of light at various depths, and the composition of the sea floor. Other important areas of study are marine food chains, the distribution of economically important fish and crustaceans, and the effects of pollution. In the later 19th century, the emphasis was on collecting and cataloging marine organisms, for which special nets, dredges, and trawls were developed. In the 20th century, improved diving equipment, submersible craft, and underwater cameras and television have made direct observation possible. Read more: http://www.answers.com/topic/marine-biol... Thus Marine biology is a part of Marine science BUT not the other way round .
