The robots are coming, and they are here to stay. Think about all the jobs replaced by machines, from assembly line workers to retailers. Now think about the possibilities of robotics, where humans are no longer the deciding factor in function, cost, and supply chain. Imagine robots that can learn, develop, and adapt to the […]

Study Examines Why the Memory of Fear Is Seared into Our Brains
The memory of fear is seared into our brains. Our brains have a powerful way of protecting us from harm. But what happens when we fail to take the same precautions? We’re reminded every time we return to that same place or recall our worst experiences. It is true that the memories of traumatic events […]
Am I Being a Responsible Technology Benefactor?
Technology has indeed transformed our world, permeating every aspect of our lives. We are constantly connected to various devices and digital platforms, from smartphones and laptops to smart home appliances and virtual assistants. This widespread integration of technology has made our lives more convenient, efficient, and interconnected than ever before. In our daily routines, we […]
Careers in Environmental Science: What are they?
Environmental science is the scientific study of the interactions between humans and their environment. This is a broad field of study, but environmental science careers do exist, and they provide people with opportunities to help protect our environment. Environmental scientists work in a variety of fields, such as biology, chemistry, geology, and physics. Their primary […]
How Can Biology Impact Human Living?
Biology is a complex system that involves the chemistry of our body’s systems, the functioning of these different systems, and the interaction between all of these systems. As a result, biology impacts not only how we physically interact with the world-how we talk, how we move-but also the way we think, eat, and relate to […]
How Can I Help with Environmental Movements?
Our environment is constantly changing, shifting, and adapting. Natural phenomena such as floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis all play an enormous role in this process, leading to things like deforestation, soil erosion, and other devastating effects. In recent decades, human activities have played a much larger role in environmental changes. Our lifestyles, the industries we […]
Biology and Human Evolution
Biology and evolution are intricately tied together. (No, that’s not a pun.) Both biology and evolution tend to be considered abstract subjects, but biology is closely tied to evolution. The role of biology in evolution is to understand basic differences between living organisms, and Charles Darwin first became interested in this connection by studying the […]
Environmental Science Events for 2022
From climate change to clean water, environmental issues are at the forefront of our work. A degree in Environmental Science will prepare you for a career in the ever-growing field of environmental science. The Council on Education accredits the Environmental Science program for Public Health. It is an excellent major for students interested in public […]
Weird Facts about Black Holes
When we think of a black hole, we think of a massive, black, and empty space. You likely don’t think of them as a home for tiny organisms, but it turns out that they do exist. Astronomers have discovered that black holes are home to at least one tiny aquatic organism. Microscopic algae called Planktothrix […]
How to Become a Geologist: Courses, Institutes, and Future Jobs
Geologists find and study rocks. They solve environmental problems like acid rain and find ore deposits for metals like copper and iron ores for aluminum. They also promote the use of minerals, finds, and products. Most geologists work full time, but about 3 percent work part-time. The job is physically and intellectually challenging, and it […]
