Think You're Horrible at Math? You Were Taught Math Badly
“If I had to design a mechanism for the express purpose of destroying a child’s natural curiosity and love of pattern-making, I couldn’t possibly do as good a job as is currently being done — I simply wouldn’t have the imagination to come up with the kind of senseless, soul-crushing ideas that constitute contemporary mathematics education.” — Paul Lockhart, PhD mathematician, author, and teacher

Gene Therapy and What Does This Mean For Me?
What is Gene Therapy? Gene therapy is the transmission of genetic information to deal with an illness. Although the theory has prevailed for many decades, clinical research appeared in 1990.

Know Your Ledge
The cells from which we stem ... "When the conditions are right, your stem cells can divide into several daughter cells that can turn into new stem cells through the process of self-renewal. They can also turn into specialized cells, such as blood cells, brain cells, bone cells, or heart muscle cells through the process of differentiation. Self-renewal or differentiation can occur in your body or in a laboratory provided the right conditions." - Dr. David Jockers
