Fern stems reveal secrets of evolution – how constraints in development can lead to new forms
Is an organism a sum of its parts, or should they be considered as a whole? New research on ferns shows how the way scientists understand evolution affects how they study life.

Why are world leaders downplaying the climate change reality as if it's a hype? Are the scientific evidence of clinage change, global warming not evident enough to force governments, industries,policy makers to take action? Should we keep waiting until we get crushed?

❌ Do not share your antibiotics with others.
❌ Do not save leftover antibiotics for use later.

Social media platforms were originally designed to foster connection, facilitate information sharing, and enable meaningful social networking. However, their core purpose has been increasingly overshadowed by pervasive advertising and a culture of attention-seeking behaviour.

This era of social media is chaotic. How many social media platforms are being launched? How the follow of information is being jeopardized.? We are being tossed and turned around by these social media giants and developers. I hope this platform can make a significant sustainable difference.
