//Curiosity and Testing// Experiments are a test of an idea, procedure or method. This definition is broad enough to include many kinds of our activities that are often called experiments. Life itself

Science and Society Science is a powerful tool for society to better understand the world. It helps us make predictions and control our surroundings. I think science is the best tool for making predictions,

//Panoramic Pandemic// Coronavirus continues to circulate with new strains appearing in different parts of the world. It’s an infectious atmosphere, so they say. Infection is a complex concept to society,

The first thing I should probably mention is that our cognition tends to be biased in favour of seeing things as caused by a rational agent, and this leads us to think disproportionatey often about agents

The universe is constantly expanding, but we can say that at some point there was a time when everything didn't exist. There are different conceptions of how and why the universe began to exist. One

Small Travellers When we think of planets that reside in our immediate system, we think of set orbits and gravitational fields. But as we know, nothing is absolute in space and we are discovering new and

//Mind and Language// It’s been a long few years of learning languages for me over the years and I have come to slowly take a more methodical approach to language learning. This has spurred me to slowly

//Understanding Phobia// I have been curious about phobias as of late. I have always known that phobias involve fear but there is much more to understand around this topic and much research has gone into

//Pandemic Persists// Coronavirus, a topic I have avoided writing about for a long while now but today I revisit the subject after months in a pandemic. What’s going on in the bright and exciting world?

//Conductor But Super// Superconductors are materials which have the ability to conduct electricity with negligible resistance, leading to maximum efficiency without energy loss. The race for cleaner and
