The Power of Human Imagination beyond Artificial Intelligence

When John C. Maxwell wrote "The Power of Thinking Big," it took me a few minutes to read most of it. In his book, Maxwell encourages human beings to think big and pursue their dreams. Today, the world of science and technology has been corrupted by the global AI euphoria orchestrated by so-called computer enthusiasts who are eager to sell something called "artificial intelligence" (AI) in a manner that is far less, and impliedly below, the power of human imagination. Whenever I see Americans,...

Gonadorelin Peptide: A Gateway to Understanding Endocrine Dynamics

Gonadorelin Peptide: A Gateway to Understanding Endocrine Dynamics

May 25, 2025 • 12:00 AM

Gonadorelin, a synthetic analog of the endogenously occurring gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), has emerged as a molecule of significant interest in peptide research. Composed of ten amino acids, this decapeptide is theorized to be pivotal in regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Researchers are uncovering new insights into its properties and implications across diverse scientific domains by exploring its potential impacts on hormonal signaling, cellular processes, and...

Exploring Longevity Supplements: The Potential of NAD+ and AKG

May 25, 2025 • 12:00 AM

In recent years, the pursuit of longevity has gained significant attention, with various supplements making bold claims about extending life and enhancing health. Among these, NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) and AKG (Alpha-Ketoglutarate) have emerged as two of the most discussed compounds in the anti-aging and longevity spheres. While both have garnered enthusiasm for their potential to delay the aging process, scientific research continues to explore their efficacy and long-term...

Orangutan Demonstrates Self-Medication Using Medicinal Plant for Wound Treatment

May 25, 2025 • 12:00 AM

When faced with minor injuries like a cut finger, many of us resort to self-treatment before seeking medical assistance. However, in the dense foliage of the jungle, great apes lack access to conventional medical supplies. Despite this, recent observations suggest that at least some individuals possess knowledge of wound management techniques utilizing natural remedies. A recent study published in the scientific journal Scientific Reports sheds light on this phenomenon. Biologists from the Max...

Can Deep Water Corals Survive the Impact of Climate Change?

May 25, 2025 • 12:00 AM

The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) situated off the northeastern coast of Australia stands as the largest and arguably the most extensively studied coral reef globally. Yet, the prevailing discoveries have been disheartening. Year after year, scientists witness the ongoing bleaching and gradual demise of the GBR, composed of over 2,900 individual reefs. However, a glimmer of hope now emerges for this natural wonder. Researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Queensland have...

Rising Summer Temperatures Linked to Climate Change

Rising Summer Temperatures Linked to Climate Change

May 25, 2025 • 12:00 AM

With each passing summer, temperatures seem to climb higher, a phenomenon attributed to natural forces. Last year witnessed record-breaking heat across Germany, with temperatures frequently surpassing the 30-degree Celsius mark. This trend is expected to continue into the upcoming summer, potentially reaching even greater extremes with fewer cloudy and rainy days. A recent study conducted by the European Geoscience Union points to climate change as the primary culprit behind these escalating...

In 2023, We Became Lost in Neverland on Climate Change

May 25, 2025 • 12:00 AM

This year, the UN, governments and even some scientists lost their collective minds on climate change. In July, UNSecretary-General António Guterressaid: "Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning. Children swept away by monsoon rains, families running from the flames (and) workers collapsing in scorching heat." Guterres now claims that "the era of global warming has ended" and "the era of global boiling has arrived." Three months later, Icelandic Prime Minister...
