During this pandemic, we’re scrounging the back of our pantries. Some of us want to avoid going to the grocery stores as much as possible or are waiting for food deliveries to arrive. Whichever the case, don’t throw out the foods past their dates just yet; they may still be good to eat. It depends...
We put a lot of faith in our doctors, and with good reason. They spent years of their lives and hundreds of thousands of dollars studying medicine. They took an oath to do no harm and to always act with their patient’s best interest in mind. This is especially true for oncologists, who treat people...

Urbanization has affected nature in many ways — mostly negative. Natural spaces are becoming smaller with limited food sources. However, modern areas block migration and grazing routes.

The reality is that it happens in the United States, much closer to home than you might imagine. Earlier this month, law enforcement successfully pulled-off a human trafficking bust in St. Joseph, Missouri. This is how they did it....
Forests are a vitally important part of our environment. They stabilize the climate by removing excess carbon from the atmosphere, protect biodiversity by providing a home for countless animal and insect species, and support livelihoods [1]. Now one man is taking it to a new level by cloning redwoods in the hopes of restoring millions...
The concept of having roommates or flatmates was a huge movement in the sharing or rental economy, and in my opinion, depending on a person’s frame of mind, it actually boosts the standards of living by reducing outrageous housing costs. If you can share a space with your friend or a co-worker comfortably, there’s no...

(1) Bill To Make Stealthing Illegal In California When we think of consent, we usually think about whether someone says yes to...
The Piraha people are a tribe that lives along the Madeira in the Brazilian Amazon. They do not think about the past or the future, and they don’t understand the concept of stress.
