There was news recently of how a coded DNA is used to hack a computer. It begs the question, can the human body be hacked itself? No, we're not talking about biohacking, we're talking about something more akin to the ones handeled by computer security companies...except with regards to our bodies.

John Murphy's Ransomware tells of such a possibility...

So you may have heard the news. A team of American geneticists have successfully edited the genes of a living human embryo. It's hard to believe that 15 or 20 years ago all of this is merely science fiction.

But as we take our baby steps towards transhumanism, we should, with all respect, give due credit to those who came before. As well as ask ourselves whether we want to know of what might come after....

In a previous article we covered the subject of mitosis, or cell reproduction into exact copies of itself. But what if we need a little variation in the next generation? What if there are advantages that only separate individual organisms, combining their genetic materials can provide?

Before we explain the "why" (in a later article, of course), we must first address the "how"...

Some of you might have come across articles that vaccinations are a scam, or they contain poisons which will harm children in whatever manner. But before you buy into these claims, do you know what they are? The reasoning behind them? The biological mechanism that makes them work?

One of the principles behind science is to understand, rather than fear things we don't know. So lets get you educated on the topic.

At its surface, the 2016 film Hidden Figures seems to tell the story of the trials and tribulations of three African American women faced while working at NASA in the early days of the Space Race. But the film is more relevant now as the issue of women in science, in general, is still a matter they have yet to be addressed adequately.

This article is an attempt to put into perspective of how women have shaped science and human civilization throughout history.
