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!"

sources of zoonotic disease
Most people live around animals, even if they don’t have farms or pets. From ticks to squirrels to rats, many members of the animal kingdom can transmit disease. Here’s a short list of common animals and some of the diseases we can get from them:
Cats: toxoplasmosis; Pasteurella; ringworm
Bats: Ebola virus; SARS; MERS; rabies; Nipah virus; Hendra virus
Dogs: rabies; noroviruses; Pasteurella; salmonella; ringworm; hookworm
Ticks: Lyme disease; Rocky Mountain spotted fever; Powassan disease
Mosquitoes: malaria; dengue; West Nile virus; Zika virus; Chikungunya virus
Birds: bird flu (H1N1, H5N1); salmonella; psittacosis
Cows: Escherichia coli; ringworm; salmonellosis
Rodents: Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome; plague; rat-bite fever; salmonellosis
WAYS TO AVOID CONTRACTING ZOONOTIC DISEASES
Wash your hands with soap, or apply hand sanitizer, immediately after being around animals even if you didn’t touch them.
Keep poultry, rodents, reptiles, and amphibians away from your face.
Wear clothing and apply sprays that prevent bites from mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.
Avoid animal bites and scratches.
Be aware of animals that could transmit zoonotic diseases at places like petting zoos or animal exhibits or in daycares and schools.
