When animals first transitioned from water to land animals they had to develop ears, but not all these aquatic animals evolved in this way. To test if animals could still hear without a middle ear, scientists put speakers into water and played different frequencies. They observed that the auditory nerve in their brains would be stimulated differently when hearing different sounds. This whole experiment showcases that even before the development of ears animals could still hear under water. I think it's really that even after animals have evolved to have middle ears, some animals such as the lung fish still hear via their lungs. I also think it's interesting how although they have a different approach to hearing, they still use the frequencies and vibrations to hear. https://www.science.org/content/article/early-land-animals-heard-sounds-their-lungs

 Since my birthday is January 18, my hero's powers are related to the hippocampus (memory) and dopamine(good feelings). My superhero, Mesmera, was born a twin. Sadly when she was 14, her twin brother caught cancer. Mesmera would do everything she could to try and cheer him up, but sadly he passed away. What Mesmera didn't know was that everytime the doctors put a chemical into her brother for his cancer, they would also inject the chemical into her as apart of a twin study. Her body associated the chemicals with trying to cheer others up, but when her brother passed away, her body no longer knew what to do with these chemicals, so they mutated into her superpower. She then realized she had the ability to alter memories of others via a dopamine release allowing her to turn negative memories into positive ones. She now uses her power to find villain's origins and making them positive memories; therefore, stopping them from being evil.

 I was born January 18, 2006. One of my earliest memories is of my old family dog, Augar, who did not like me very much. He finally was showing me some affection until my dad got up and left the room with Augar following closely behind.  Other than my dog's lack of interest for me, my childhood was largely characterized by dance and my family. In my last post I detailed the first time I received a major role in one of my dance shows, but what I didn't mentioned is that I recently dropped out of dance. While I miss it, I do enjoy having more free time, and my sleep schedule is ten times better than it used to be. Furthermore, a key part of my life was weekly hangouts with my family. Every week all my aunts, uncles, and cousins would meet up at my grandma's house and spend the whole day together. We would play poker and Super Smash Bros, watch movies like harry potter, and play tag chair hide and seek (a game my oldest cousins created).  School wise, I remember being one of...

From the ages 3-16 I professionally trained in ballet at Cookie Joe's Dancin' School . One of my proudest moments was the first time I ever received a main part in a show as Peter Pan. My teachers told me they all unanimously agreed that I was perfect for the role, and they choose my best friend to play Wendy! 4 truths and a lie. 1.  I broke my arm when I was 6. 2. Vietnamese is my first language. 3. I've been to All Stars for swim. 4. I've never been out of the country. 5. I've gotten a 36 on a test before.
