Don’t believe COVID-19 is being contained!
That just ain’t gonna happen until there is a coronavirus (COVID-19 strain) vaccine for everyone! Do not accuse me of scare-mongering or panicking. It won’t work because I have both science and logic on my side. And I’m fully prepared so I have no need to ‘panic’. But I digress… Right now, we do not […]
It’s NOT panic buying… it’s a totally rational response!
We have kept an emergency food and ‘essentials’ supply for years. It’s not that we expect to use it. We’re optimists. But let’s call a spade a spade. The world is a very unstable place. Politically, we’ve got Putin, Trump, Kim Jong-un and Xi Jinping all set on world domination. Geologically, we face earthquakes that […]

Diabetic Mice Cured Using Human Stem Cells
Scientists had earlier figured out how to create insulin-producing cells out of human stem cells. But they have been unable to demonstrate the effectiveness in mice – until now.
State of the Union or State of Despair?
Here in Australia, we – and indeed, many other citizens of Western nations, follow the antics of Trump and the US Senate with bewilderment. It has nothing to do with left or right leanings. It is about the extraordinary abuses of power we are witnessing. Abuses that are fueled by the massive divide – dare […]
Sand Mining: Why is Asia begging for another environmental crisis?
The world currently uses nearly 50 billion tons of sand and gravel a year. That is almost twice as much as a decade ago. Will the environment survive our addiction to the stuff?
