BOMBSHELL: Genetic modification proven ineffective — pests have become immune to the poison of modified crops in less than five years, but we still have to eat it
Last year, farmers around the world planted genetically modified crops like soybeans, corn and cotton across 240 million acres of land that create proteins from the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacterium. Capable of killing pests like beetles and caterpillars, their effects on the environment and human health have long been the subject of much debate. Those […]

Scientists have discovered around 400 stone structures in Saudi Arabia that appear to have been built thousands of years ago, and now they are trying to solve the mystery of why they were built. These structures have been dubbed “gates” on account of their resemblance to field gates when viewed from above. They were found […]

As if the conflicting information and endless debates about climate change and carbon dioxide levels were not confusing enough, a new study has found that carbon dioxide levels were actually much lower than previously believed during the last “warm” period on the planet, illustrating just how difficult it is to make conclusive statements about the […]

Brain actually directs development in embryos, according to new study, blasting arguments that claim early abortion isn’t murder
A new study in Nature Communications shows the earliest known activities of the brain-body interface, and they are much earlier than previously believed. Just one day after fertilization, the study found that the embryonic brains of frogs start sending signals throughout the body to direct the layout of nerve fibers and muscles. Importantly, the brain […]
