Hi! I am applying for an internship in the summer and it requires me to write an essay. Can you please give me feedback! Thanks :)

PROMPT: Please describe what you consider the most significant scientific advance you have read or hear about in the last year (No longer than 1000 characters)

In my opinion, the scientific article about Cannibinoids offering a novel treatment for pain in Sickle-Cell disease (SCD), a genetic blood disorder that affects the red blood cells in the body making them become sickle, or crescent-shaped, is the most significant scientific advancement that I have read about within the last year. I was interested in this article because I have the trait for the disease and I would like to gain more insight behind the disease. Using a mouse model of SCD, Gupta and University of Minnesota colleagues studied the pain mechanisms by observing animals that exhibited both musculoskeletal pain and temperature sensitivity, symptoms similarly experienced by humans with SCD. They compared two classifications of drugs in their ability to manage pain, opioids, the only approved treatment for severe pain and cannabinoids, the new therapeutic approach. The results showed that both opioids and cannibinoids equally lessened the amount of pain the animals sensed.

...and I would like to gain more insight behind about the disease.

This is a good sentence to use parentheses in:
They compared two classifications of drugs in their ability to manage pain: opioids (the only approved treatment for severe pain) and cannabinoids, the new therapeutic approach.

This is really interesting! My only concern is that they might think you are a stoner and give the internship to someone else... However, that really is very important research! You know... they do not ask for this, but I think you can have an advantage if you cite a few related studies instead of just one. While you explain the "most significant" study, you can refer in passing to a few related studies. That will impress them!
