We all know how to get pregnant or at least should know, but despite so many tips out there boosting the chances of conceiving, the actual first 2 weeks of pregnancy remain an undetectable mystery to science.
A pregnancy test is usually done via markers detecting hormones in specific substances like urine and blood. At the very beginning, though, these hormone levels are just too low to register a positive test. Without actually looking into the womb, nobody can watch fertilized eggs grow. Yes, we understand the process going on, as the embryo (which is basically a mass of cells called blastocyst) starts dropping its outer layer to implant within the uterine lining.
However, only a couple of weeks ago researchers from Rockefeller University were the first to witness and even raise human embryos in a laboratory for the maximum ethically allowable time of 13 days.

The first ever all-FDA front row at the end of the inaugural qualifying session for FIA Formula 2
Al Sakhir â The first outing in this category for Charles Leclerc and Antonio Fuoco went really well. The Monegasque Ferrari Driver Academy student took pole position in todayâs qualifying session for FIA Formula 2 in Bahrain.

Happy EasterâŠand a reality check: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/where-were-going-we-dont-need-popes #transhumanism #reason
Modern values, transhumanist technology, and the embrace of reason are making many Catholic rules and rituals absurd.
Everywhere I look, Pope Francis, the 266th pope of the Catholic Church, seems to be in the newsâand he is being positively portrayed as a genuinely progressive leader. Frankly, this baffles me. Few major religions have as backwards a philosophical and moral platform as Catholicism. Therefore, no leader of it could actually be genuinely progressive. Yet, no one seems to pay attention to thisâno one seems to be discussing that Catholicism remains highly oppressive.
To even discuss how many archaic positions the Pope and Catholicism support would take volumes. But the one that irks me the most is that Pope Francis and his church are still broadly against condoms and contraceptives. Putting aside that this view is terribly anti-environmental, with over 175 million Catholics in Africa, itâs quite possible that this position may also create more AIDS deaths in Africa.
âOn March 13, the Institute celebrated the publication of The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge (Princeton University Press), which features IAS Founding Director Abraham Flexnerâs classic essay of the same title, first published in Harperâs magazine in 1939.â
