WE LOVE SCIENCE HERE BECAUSE IT IS A MANY SPLENDOURED THING
THIS IS A WAR ZONE WHERE SCIENCE FIGHTS WITH NONSENSE AND WINS
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”
"Being a scientist is a state of mind, not a profession!"
"Science, when it's done right, can yield amazing things".
The Reach of Scientific Research From Labs to Laymen
The aim of science is not only to open a door to infinite knowledge and wisdom but to set a limit to infinite error.
"Knowledge is a Superpower but the irony is you cannot get enough of it with ever increasing data base unless you try to keep up with it constantly and in the right way!" The best education comes from learning from people who know what they are exactly talking about.
Science is this glorious adventure into the unknown, the opportunity to discover things that nobody knew before. And that’s just an experience that’s not to be missed. But it’s also a motivated effort to try to help humankind. And maybe that’s just by increasing human knowledge—because that’s a way to make us a nobler species.
If you are scientifically literate the world looks very different to you.
We do science and science communication not because they are easy but because they are difficult!
“Science is not a subject you studied in school. It’s life. We 're brought into existence by it!"

- the tip of the viral key is often hidden; and
- when new virus particles are made, the viral key is already pre-activated by a human enzyme.

Coronavirus 'could be getting weaker' as scientists spot new mutation
Researchers from Arizona State University have analysed samples from hundreds of coronavirus patients in Arizona, and have discovered changes to the virus’ genetic material.
The coronavirus could be getting weaker, scientists have claimed after discovering a new mutation in the virus. These changes are similar to those seen in the SARS epidemic of 2003, and indicate that the virus could be weakening, according to the researchers.
In the study, the team analysed samples from 382 patients, and discovered the new mutation.
Coronavirus mutation gives hope pandemic could soon be over as virus may be getting weaker.
