Some Computer Scientists recently claimed that by 2045 robots and automation will drop global employment from 60 to 50% having a dramatic yet still unpredictable impact on world economies and apparently the concept of leisure-time itself.
Students at ISU protest feeding trials of a vitamin A enriched staple banana cultivar, because they would apparently rather see poor African children die of vitamin A deficiency than risk a “public relations coup” for GMOs.

An ultrasound has produced an image of what appears to be a fetus and a duck sharing a human womb.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC, has announced final confirmation of 4 new chemical elements which will complete the 7th row or period of the periodic table.
