People often talk about food as the great unifier across cultures and peoples, even European football fans. But that’s really a load of bollocks, innit, bruv? In our current age of yin-yang dystopia, food itself can be divisive. One of Canada’s most well-known national treasures, poutine, has created internal strife over who owns the rights […]
Some great memes have been flying around lately about how the already ignorant Robinhood lot is becoming even more ignorant, eating up just about anything you’ll feed it. A group of stock manipulators on Reddit are, well, manipulating the markets, and everyone pretends like it’s the second coming of Occupy Wall Street that’s overthrowing the […]
When you try not to check in on your stocks very often, life comes at you fast. Sometimes, that’s a good thing. Gene editing stocks have been on an absolute tear, at least the three we’re holding in our portfolio. Just look at the 30-day returns for the three OGs of gene editing stocks. Editas […]
It’s that time of the year again that we really don’t look forward to. Maybe it’s because our mediocre expectations aren’t even close to being met. We’re just so sick and tired of being let down, year after year. That’s right, it’s time for our annual article on how the commercialization of graphene is right […]
At the beginning of the month, we talked trash. Specifically, the piles of plastic that threaten to overwhelm many countries in the world. One long-term solution is to use biodegradable bioplastics made from natural renewable resources like algae. But that still leaves a legacy of water bottles, packaging, and Kardashian body parts that will be […]
While the donkeys and elephants waste the short time they have on this planet debating the root cause of global weather patterns, unsung heroes work on solving some of the world’s biggest problems. Spend some time in Southern Asia – where one in four people on this planet live – and you’ll see what real […]
If your job is to screen hundreds of resumes to find the perfect candidate, it’s impossible to compare them all, so you look for red flags. Something as simple as a typo will land your resume squarely in the circular filing cabinet because you clearly don’t pay attention to details. Similarly, when you’re assessing hundreds […]
The octopus is a solitary creature that doesn’t find dating to be all that. When it comes time to mate, the male sends the female a sperm pouch from afar, sometimes with a severed arm attached. And they said romance was dead. In addition to being intelligent enough to avoid child support and alimony, the […]
The donkeys and the elephants are preparing for war in November when they should really be focused on more amazing things – like protein engineering. We recently wrote about how scientists are Designing Proteins to be Molecular Machines using algorithms that need to consider more amino acid combinations than atoms in the universe. The proteins […]
Why our society chooses to idolize movie stars would be a complete mystery to visiting aliens. What’s so admirable about spending your life pretending to be someone else? In most cases, the people who actors and actresses attempt to portray aren’t even real people to begin with. Mankind would be in a much better place […]
