The document discusses the concept of a "patient fund" which would allow patients to directly donate and invest in medical research projects. A patient fund would segregate operating costs from project funding and allow patients to choose which specific projects their donations support through crowdfunding. It could help fill the "translational research gap" by funding high-risk projects ignored by other investors and take a long-term approach not focused on short-term returns. The proposed Fund My Medical Research non-profit aims to establish such funds to give patients more control over the development of new treatments.
The document discusses the wave-mechanical model of atomic structure and how it relates to electron configuration and the periodic table trends. It explains that electrons occupy specific orbitals in atoms, with different energy levels and shapes. The orbitals fill according to Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund's rule. This orbital filling pattern determines the electron configuration and explains the periodic trends in chemical properties of elements.
The document discusses how the UK may be linked to the destruction of tropical rainforests in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Students will learn about resources extracted from Congo like coltan and gold and discuss their environmental impacts. They will then decide whether to agree, disagree or be undecided that the UK is linked to the destruction of Congolese rainforests and explain their reasoning.
