My Interviewees as Professional Writers

After having interviewed some of the most interesting people I've ever met, it is now important to delve into their research articles and other publications to truly understand their unique style.

Benjamin Renquist

Benjamin Renquist writes mostly published research articles focusing on single dose injectable sterilant, the effect of stress on an animal's diet, and over nutrition in various online journals as well as more specific pieces that, to be honest, are quite difficult to understand for a reader in my position. 

Here and Here are two different articles that showcase these qualities that he tends to stick to. Both publications are research articles published online through a specific online publication source. The conventions are very similar to each other, because in general research papers have a very specific format. This includes highly evolved vocabulary, more 3rd person work, and very detailed sentences as well as the references used.

The first article speaks about the effects of age on cows who have had multiple calves. This was written in July of 2006 and focuses on British cows, "collected for 5 consecutive years on 454 fall-calving multiparous British crossbred cattle". The overall message was to show the results from their experiments over the years in one article, to inform. The purpose was to explain the "effects of age on calving interval, birth weight, and weaning weight that are independent of BCS". This was the last sentence of the introductory paragraph, showing what the paper overall was talking about.

The second article speaks about the importance of zebrafish for determining a single dose injectable sterilant and how they can help determine the results needed for the purpose. This was written in January of 2016, showing how he still does many research publications. He wrote this with Savannah

Y Williams and has an affiliation with the University of Arizona. The overall message was to show the results from the experiment done with the Zebrafish. The overall purpose was to "create the potential to rapidly screen pharmacological or genetic manipulations that directly alter energy expenditure or alter the response to an applied drug", showing this though the experiment.

S. Patricia Stock

S. Patricia Stock has a more diverse grouping of published pieces because she's writing a book and journal herself as well as doing other published articles. She focuses mostly on her specific field of entomology which is the study of insects because that is what she is most interested in. 

The first publication is from a book that she wrote called the Techniques in Insect Pathology. The information in the book is very highly elevated and was difficult to understand in my current knowledge. It was written in 1997 by Patricia and a man named Harry Kaya nd cited over 800 times by different people. The overall message was to inform people on the different ways to analyze insects for forensic purposes. The purpose of the book was to inform and show people her techniques.

The second publication  is a published article that can be seen at the University of Arizona library. Using some of the keywords in the article, it is about biodiversity, systematics, and evolution. It was written by Patricia and others as well. The purpose is to inform people about the Nematodes she was working with and the overall message was to create a pice of work for other scientists hoping to use the information for their own work
