DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!

They say that the children are our future,

but in order for that to be true,

there has to be a future to begin with…

I’m not surprised when children get upset hearing about the world that they will be left…

so in order for us to nurture the curiosity and promise of what could be the greatest generation yet,

we have to do our best to right wrongs,

set the stage,

and leave nature, beauty, and creativity for these generations to come.

The first step preserving this future is to foster that same curiosity by encouraging questions,

celebrating individuality,

and setting the stage for wholesome education – that is accessible to everyone.

Let’s start all of that, by exploring this weeks discoveries on…

This Week in Science!

Coming up next…

First up, some science news!

Worm Behavior

Worms use small RNA molecules to pass learned behaviors on to their offspring according to two new studies.

Ancestor Cells

A comparison of the transcriptomes of sponges to single-celled organisms suggests that multi-cellular organisms didn’t evolve from single-celled organisms, but instead from something more similar to stem cells.
