Any control of the Moon would be temporary and localized.
In an op/ed space policy experts explain why China is unlikely to try exert power over the Moon.
Ritu Raman leads the Raman Lab, where she creates adaptive biological materials for applications in medicine and machines.
It seems that Ritu Raman was born with an aptitude for engineering. You may say it is in her blood since her mother is a chemical engineer, her father is a mechanical engineer, and her grandfather is a civil engineer. Throughout her childhood, she repeatedly witnessed firsthand the beneficial impact that engineering careers could have on communities. In fact, watching her parents build communication towers to connect the rural villages of Kenya to the global infrastructure is one of her earliest memories. She still vividly remembers the excitement she felt watching the emergence of a physical manifestation of innovation that would have a long-lasting positive impact on the community.

Cancer researchers have discovered how mutated cells can sense the Goldilocks sweet spots in a human body.
Led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, an international group of researchers has shed new light on how cancer thrives.
Previous studies have shown how cancer cells can sense the stiffness of the environment they are in, from hard bone and tough muscle to soft, fatty tissue.
Things I learned:
1. Various tissues will have different safe zones of rejuvenation before they become pluripotent but we could make tissue specific treatments and treat them separately without effecting others.

Automation is reaching more companies, imperiling some jobs and changing the nature of others.
Beef cattle genetically altered to be less susceptible to heat stress have been cleared for human consumption by the FDA.
Circa 2020
In 2016, Elon Musk’s younger brother, Kimbal Musk co-founded Brooklyn-NY-based vertical-farming operation Square Roots as part of a broader quest to grow fresh, local produce close to population centres and empower young people to participate in the sustainable urban farming trend. Over four years, Square Roots has grown more than 120 varieties of crop, including salad greens, vegetables and strawberries.
