The School of Life Sciences offers exciting research opportunities for postgraduate study in a wide variety of related disciplines concerned with the emergent properties of living systems , social systems , ecosystems and the fundamental molecular and cellular processes that are essential to life . For if history relates good things of good men , the attentive hearer is excited to imitate that which is good ; or if it mentions evil things of wicked persons , nevertheless the religious and pious hearer or reader , shunning that which is hurtful and perverse , is the more earnestly excited to perform those things which he knows to be good , and worthy of God . The Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences offers exciting educational opportunities to Duke undergraduates interested in the environment ( from both a science and policy perspective ) , in earth sciences , ocean sciences , and natural history . When students claim such responsibility and ownership , class interaction is exciting and dynamic , and students become self-directed learners , taking their critical skills beyond the classroom . The Center on Aging at MUSC is excited to have this opportunity to take a unique narrative and create something that will not only be a useful tool for families of Alzheimer 's patients , but support MUSC research towards a cure as well . I think that the election is exciting , and not a waste of taxpayer money .
