SciencePeople are as fascinated with the past as they are with the future, and of course, the two are related, connected by a present that we sometimes find less interesting. The promise of the future is equalled by the mystery of the past, and while we’ve all been given certain images of history at school, in movies and books, wouldn’t it be exciting to check it all out first-hand?

ScienceIn many ways, despite the challenges of COVID, this has been a very good year for the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. In particular, we are delighted to see our substantial rise in the national US News and World Report rankings. These represent progress in the metrics, see page 8-9, but also increasing recognition for our unique partnered model and its impact. We are now ranked the #2 doctoral-granting undergraduate engineering school in Florida, including all public and private schools. While we admire the scale and impact of the one engineering institution in the state that ranks above us, we note that we compare well with them in per faculty metrics, but are one third their size. Our smaller and very diverse environment is quite attractive for students.

ScienceSYMPTOMS BEGIN suddenly in the middle of a workday – the right side of the body goes numb and speech becomes slurred. A cerebrovascular obstruction diagnosis is confirmed at the hospital. Beginning treatment quickly with blood thinners saves the patient’s life, but one side of the body refuses to obey commands.

ScienceThe lifecycle of the Streptomyces coelicolor bacteria is a fascinating and beautiful thing to see, a blossoming of vibrant blue, pink, and purple spots into a swirling galaxy of colour. These bacteria – which are found in the soil and decompose organic matter – are the surprising collaborator of biodesigner Natsai Audrey Chieza, who has been experimenting since 2011 with fermenting the bacteria to develop a chemical-free, colourfast dye that requires radically reduced water consumption. If a reliable, replicable system could be developed using this biotechnology, it has the potential to transform the fashion industry.

ScienceMars has long exerted a fascination on humankind even though the planet and fantasies we project on to it frequently fail to live up to our expectations. For centuries, astronomers, writers and rock stars alike have posed the red-hot question: is there life on the Red Planet (so-called because of the iron oxide on its surface that gives it a dramatic reddish glow)?

ScienceWe often hear that women are more tolerant to pain than men. Many are also proud of it. However, in the famous game-changing paper titled ‘The Girl Who Cried Pain: A Bias Against Women In The Treatment Of Pain’ the authors Diane E. Hoffman and Anita J. Tarzian found that contrary to popular belief, women report more severe levels of pain, more frequent pain, and pain that lasts longer than men’s. Three Maltese women found out the hard way that confiding in medical practitioners does not always lead to help.

ScienceAs individuals that are responsible for their health, it is one of our necessities to stay updated with medicinal and scientific advances that not only seek human proper being but also maximize their effort to detect diseases before they even exist. We all know the fact that the sooner we detect a disease the higher probability it is cured. Scientists are studying the chances of treating disease before it can even be there. They can do it by analyzing your DNA. First of all, what is DNA? DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid which is composed of two chains that coil around each other carrying strands of genetic information. Each one of us has DNA that holds the structure of their body. This DNA is inherited from both of their parents and also includes what they have inherited from their parents and so on. DNA is constructed of genes. Each gene controls the development of one or more traits. Scientists have denoted alphabets to gene strands and each set of alphabetic patterns is then assigned to a certain trait or function.
