Bias with Nature: Revival of 10000 years old wolf's using Genetic Engineering Now, the question in my mind is: Will movies like Jurassic Park soon become reality? Should governments form policy regulations regarding the advancement of genetic engineering and the revival of extinct species? How would the revival of species that went extinct thousands of years ago affect today’s ecosystems and their balance? Should we even consider reviving those species? And would it be ethically correct to revive the already extinct species which might have failed that nature's fitness test?    As Darwin's Evolution Theory states the survival of the fittest , so can we say that majority of the already extinct species have failed the nature's test and revival of those species would be the against the Laws of Nature? But surely we can revive the species for which human are responsible for, so we can restore the balance of nature. (One would argue) For instance, Dire wolves which has been...

The human brain plays a crucial role not only in our mental health but also in our physical health and overall well-being. By uncovering these 10 interesting facts, we gain a deeper understanding of the brain’s complexity, adaptability and its extraordinary capacity for learning and memory. 1. The Brain acts as the control center for the body's nervous system — coordinating thoughts, movements, emotions and vital functions. (Obviously, it is 😅) 2. The Human Brain consists of approximately 86 billion neurons interconnected by synapses that process and transmit information, emotions and responses. 3. Despite weighing just about 3 pounds (1.4 kg) and making up only 2% of total body weight, the brain is the most energy-demanding organ. 4. About 75% of the brain is made up of water, which is why staying hydrated is essential for optimal brain function and performance. 5. The brain receives around 20% of the body’s oxygen and blood supply— roughly 750 to 1,000 milliliters of blood every...

From their mesmerizing colours to their delicate shape... Soap bubbles hold more science than meets the eye. Why do soap bubble show different colours? W hat is the role of surface tension in keeping the bubbles spherical? What is the role of gravity in colours shown by the bubbles? Explore the answers in this blog post. --- Soap bubbles are far more than mere playthings: they are hollow spheres of soapy water enclosing air. Each bubble is composed of three delicate layers: an inner soap layer, a middle water layer and an outer soap layer. The formation of these layers is a result of the unique properties of soap molecules, which possess both hydrophobic (water-repelling) and hydrophilic (water-attracting) ends. The thickness of a soap bubble is not uniform; gravity plays a pivotal role in creating a gradient of thickness. The bubble is thickest at the bottom and thinnest at the top.  This phenomenon occurs as gravity pulls the water molecules downward, yet surface tension act...

Every year on November 8, the world observes STEM Day: A Day dedicated to celebrating the impact of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in our lives and future... But have you ever wondered how this day came into existence and who thought of setting aside a whole day to celebrate STEM? Well, It all started in 2015 when MGA Entertainment, the toy company behind popular brands like L.O.L. Surprise! and Bratz, created STEM Day as a way to encourage kids, especially girls to explore STEM fields through fun curiosity-driven activities. The date, November 8, is a clever nod and numeronym to the word “innovate” (innov8) which emphasizes creativity and invention. Significance of STEM Day You might be wondering why STEM Day Matters, but hope you remember that in today’s world, STEM is everywhere, from the phones we use to the medicine we take, the cars we drive, the bridges we cross and even the water we drink. Yet, despite its importance, STEM often feels out of reach for man...

As the World battles with environmental challenges like Climate change, Pollution, Deforestation, Biodiversity loss, etc. Recycling emerges as a one of the crucial practices to solving some of these challenges. It helps lessens the harmful disruption and damage being done to the natural world by conserving it's resources, reducing waste, saving energy, creating jobs and improving our health in general. In this blog post, we'll explore the Power of Recycling, it's benefits and look at initiatives promoting Recycling efforts. Put Simply, Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. Benefits of Recycling The Benefits of Recycling have a far reaching impact on our daily lives and planet and It can be seen in two key areas: Environmental, and Economic Environmental Benefits of Recycling 1. Recycling conserves Natural resources (reducing the environmental impacts of resource extraction and processing) 2. Recycling reduces emissions of gre...

This blog is written in honor of world hepatitis day and all patients who once suffered it or currently suffering from it. What is Hepatitis?    Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver which results from various infectious diseases and non infectious ones. This leads to a variety of health problems, some of which can be fatal. Types of Hepatitis Autoimmune hepatitis. Hepatitis A. Hepatitis B. Hepatitis C. Hepatitis D. Hepatitis E. Neonatal hepatitis. These types of hepatitis are categorized into two groups. Viral hepatitis & Non viral hepatitis . VIRAL HEPATITIS includes: Hepatitis: A, B, C, D, and E (caused by a virus) NON VIRAL HEPATITIS includes: There are 3 types of non-viral hepatitis: Toxic hepatitis is caused by chemicals, drugs (prescription and over-the-counter) and nutritional supplements. VIRAL HEPATITIS: Causes & Mode of Transmission • Hepatitis A    Hepatitis A is caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV) and is primarily transmitted via consumptio...

Chess is an ancient board game that goes back centuries. It is a board game which involves 2 players, and is sometimes called International chess or Western chess to distinguish it from related games such as xiangqi (Chinese chess) and shogi (Japanese chess). Chess is an abstract strategy game that is played on a chessboard with 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The players, referred to as "White" and "Black", each control 16 pieces: 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Rooks, 2 Knights, 2 Bishops & 8 Pawns. How Is Chess Played? White moves first, followed by Black. The game is won by checkmating the opponent's king. In other words, placing the king under threat of capture with no possible escape. There are also several ways a game can end in a draw or stalemate . Each Chess piece moves a certain way: The Queen moves diagonally, horizontally & vertically in all directions. The King moves one square at a time. Its movement is restricted when it's in “check” — m...
