Secondary school Biology seldom go into the details, the structure of a cell is an example of this. We were taught that cells consists of the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, walls and such, but that's pretty much it. We bet that teachers could go deeper into the subject with no risk of confounding their students. We therefore challenge the teachers to add value to their syllabus, starting from the basics. 

Cikgus, make us proud and prove us right.

Mathematics had always been perceived as an abstract field. You have numbers, symbols, concepts that seems to be the result of overthinking professors. This is, of course, far from the truth. Mathematics, especially applied mathematics, touches every aspect of human civilisation and life.

And in this specific case, may have saved human civilisation and millions of lives.

"The Heresy of Friar Travolo" can be seen as how new, paradigm-shifting ideas may be treated by unprepared minds. In the guise of breaking one of mathematics' fundamental laws, the story attempts to show how too much caution may lead to stagnant thinking, or the avoidance of thinking itself.

​Learn from this cautionary tale, and apply the lessons in your every thought.

How did life evolve from simple, single-celled creatures to complex animals capable of manipulating nature? For most of the three billion years of Earth's history, life is limited to single celled bacterium, what changed?

"Foreign Tongues" is a humorous, albeit dark, short story on the contextual difficuylties in communication. Anthropologists call this the 'outside context problem', in which communication is impossible due to diverging developments between civilisations; and severe miscommunication is likely. This problem arises between humans and the other species on the planet, and had probably contributed to the state of the natural world today.

But what if such things were to happen to us, with us being the 'other species' instead?
