A lot of the organisms that have existed on earth have left no fossils because of the incredibly specific set of requirements for a fossil to form. First, it must settle into sedimentary rock, instead of being roasted to nothing else but carbon fragments from the formation of igneous rock, or be crushed and burned from the formation of metamorphic rock. Then, the conditions of the surrounding environment must be just right: high sedimentation rates, low soil acidity, lots of minerals and anoxic conditions are best. Also, the organism must have bones or some kind of material that can easily mineralize into a fossil.
An outlier would have been the organisms from the Cambrian period, which were fossilized at a high rate despite being mostly millimeter to centimeter long soft-bodied organisms. We have recently found out that this is due to the thick algal mats at the bottom of the Cambrian oceans. You can actually go see the Cambrian fossils at the Burgess Shale.

Nimfa-mama [501]
Data organization refers to the method of classifying and organizing sets of data to make them more useful. Analysis is a detailed examination of something. It is what you do with the data you collected. Based on this, we can say that B, counting the number of fish for each species, and D, transferring the data from the fish counter to a computer program would both be examples of data organization and analysis.

One example of how applied science has had a direct effect on daily life is the presence of vaccines. Vaccines to prevent diseas
Mashutka [201]

Vaccines are a boon in eradicating various lethal diseases and increase the immunity of the people. The development of vaccines started with the understanding the cell itself, various pathways that regulate its fate. The immunology, a branch of biological science, gave the idea of the working of the defense or the immune system of the body, and of the various specia cells that function for it. This led us to the discovery of antibodies and antigens. Vaciines are artificial means of injecting antigens into the body to generate antibodies beforehand, so that the immune system remembers producing it at the time disease causing agent strikes us.

Thus, we can summarise that STEM research or core science research has led to innovations that have shaped our lives and lifestyle to contribute to an overall good social health.
