Dog feces left on the ground wash into waterways, sometimes carrying bacteria -- including antibiotic-resistant strains -- that can make people sick. Now scientists have developed a new genetic test to figure out how much dogs are contributing to this health concern.

The CDC forecast supports the drastically higher projections released earlier by a group of scientists, including epidemiologists with the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, who modeled the Ebola spread as part of a National Institutes of Health-sponsored project called Midas, short for Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study.  less

Based on some scientific evidence, it is suggested that the constant use of the internet, with its constant distractions and interruptions, is turning off important circuits in our brain. In so doing, we are becoming superficial thinkers.

Have you ever stopped to think or wonder of some of humanity’s products of ingenuity? The point is not to scare you; it is indeed a way to make you think. How long will it take for a technological society to rebuild? The point is to take great interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Taking interest in these disciplines has the key to reboot and rebuild a modern civilization.
