ORGANIZE

ORGANIZE is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand ORGANIZE rather than just read about it. In short: Organize is a US-based non-profit focused on bringing reform to the organ donation system. Organize was co-founded by Greg Segal and Jenna Arnold in late 2013 after Segal's father, Rick Segal, was forced to wait five years to undergo a heart transplant.

Key takeaways

  • ORGANIZE belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect ORGANIZE to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of ORGANIZE from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Organize is a US-based non-profit focused on bringing reform to the organ donation system. Organize was co-founded by Greg Segal and Jenna Arnold in late 2013 after Segal's father, Rick Segal, was forced to wait five years to undergo a heart transplant. In 2015, Organize received an Innovator in Residence position in the Office of the US Secretary of Health and Human Services and was a featured presenter the 2016 White House Organ Donation Summit.

Awards and recognition Organize has been profiled in the New York Times, Washington Post, Forbes, Slate, and Fast Company. Orrganize received the $1MM First Prize in the Verizon Powerful Answers Award, the Inaugural Stanford MedX Health Care Design Award, a Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Award, and the Classy Award as one of the top 10 social change organizations in the world. The New York Times called Organize one of 2016's "Biggest Ideas in Social Change", and Organize's co-founders have been honored in Inc Magazine's "35 Under 35 List" and Oprah's list of 100 Super Soul Influencers.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with ORGANIZE

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what ORGANIZE claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to ORGANIZE before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about ORGANIZE ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of ORGANIZE

In research
ORGANIZE appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses ORGANIZE in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
ORGANIZE is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Charities based in New York (state), Health charities in the United States, Medical and health organizations based in New York (state), so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for ORGANIZE outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is ORGANIZE in simple terms?

Organize is a US-based non-profit focused on bringing reform to the organ donation system. Organize was co-founded by Greg Segal and Jenna Arnold in late 2013 after Segal's father, Rick Segal, was forced to wait five years to undergo a heart transplant.

Why does ORGANIZE matter?

Because it connects several science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study ORGANIZE?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
