  Genes, although tiny and imperceptible, play a pivotal role in shaping our physical characteristics, unless modified by medical intervention. Originating from the first man and woman, genes come in various types, with Y-Chromosomes and mtdna being extensively studied by geneticists. Y-DNA is inherited exclusively from fathers to sons, perpetuating through generations of male lineage, while mtdna is passed from mothers to all their offspring, albeit only daughters can transmit it further.The classification of Y-DNA and mtdna into letters helps delineate the genetic relationships across different populations and regions. However, these genetic markers often exhibit a mosaic distribution due to intermarriages, conflicts, and migrations throughout history. Despite these diversifications, humanity remains fundamentally linked to its ancestral roots, with distant connections to the original progenitors persisting through millennia of genetic mingling. Thus, while genetic variations have enriched our species over time, our collective genetic heritage underscores the profound interconnectedness among human populations worldwide.

  The Great Dead Body Teachers

  An adventure into the world of anatomy and dissection. 
  Since I was a child, I’ve been interested in dead bodies. When I was eight years old, I dug up the remains of my pet budgie Zazbut. He had been buried for about eight weeks in a patch of grass outside our house in Dasmarinas, a fortified village in Manila, in the Philippines. 
   
  ‘The first exhumation was the beginning of my intrigue with death, which has persisted. As a journalist, I’ve written about graveyards, funerals and death doulas. I always visit the local cemetery wherever I am in the world. But one thing that has largely been hidden from me in this death trip is the dead body. 
   
  Dissection might not be a normal topic to contemplate but when both your paternal grandparents donate their bodies to science it does intermittently cross your mind. 
   
  This is the story of how Jackie Dent’s grandparents - Ruby and Julie - gave their bodies to science when they died. No one in her family seems to know why, or what really happened with their bodies afterwards. Were they avid science buffs? Was it to save on cremation costs? How do scientists tackle the practicalities and ethics of cutting up the dead for research? And who are body donors generally? 
    
  Weaving the personal with the history of anatomy and the dissected, Jackie Dent explores the world of whole-body donation — all the while looking for answers as to what happened to her grandparents.

  Technology and the Environment -...

  The relationship between technology and the environment is increasingly becoming a focal point in discussions about sustainability and the future of our planet. As the world faces growing environmental challenges, technological innovation plays a crucial role in providing solutions. From renewable energy technologies to smart agricultural practices, technology is being leveraged to address some of the most pressing issues, including climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. However, while technology offers vast potential to mitigate environmental harm, it also raises questions about its impact on natural ecosystems and whether technological advancements always lead to positive outcomes for the environment. 
  In recent decades, the global focus on environmental sustainability has been paired with rapid technological development. The relationship between the two is dynamic—where technology can either exacerbate environmental issues or serve as the key to solving them. For example, the industrial revolution, powered by fossil fuels and machinery, contributed significantly to environmental degradation, yet the same technological advancements have now paved the way for cleaner, more sustainable solutions. This dual nature of technology’s impact on the environment makes it essential to examine how technology can be harnessed in ways that benefit rather than harm our ecosystems. 
  One of the key ways technology is addressing environmental challenges is through the development of renewable energy sources. Solar panels, wind turbines, and other green technologies offer cleaner alternatives to the traditional methods of power generation, reducing reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas. These renewable energy solutions have the potential to dramatically reduce carbon emissions, a leading cause of climate change.

  Chemistry - Reactions Compounds...

  Chemistry is the branch of science that focuses on the study of matter and its interactions with other matter and energy. It is often called the central science because it bridges other natural sciences, such as physics, biology, and environmental science, helping to explain the properties and behavior of substances that make up the world around us. 
    
  At its core, chemistry explores atoms and molecules, which are the building blocks of matter. These particles interact in various ways to form different types of substances, including solids, liquids, and gases. By studying these interactions, chemists can predict the behavior of materials, develop new substances, and create innovative solutions to complex problems. 
    
  The field of chemistry is divided into several branches, each focusing on different aspects of matter. Organic chemistry, for example, deals with the structure and reactions of carbon-containing compounds, which form the basis of life. Inorganic chemistry, on the other hand, focuses on non-carbon compounds and materials like metals, salts, and minerals. Physical chemistry explores the energy changes and dynamics of chemical reactions, while analytical chemistry involves techniques to determine the composition of substances. Biochemistry blends chemistry with biology to study the molecular mechanisms that underpin living organisms.
