DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!
It’s time to wake up…
There’s a whole big wide world out there just waiting to be explored…
And you can’t get there while your brain is napping
Sleep has benefits,
But snoring is too boring
When there is still have so much to learn…
And the world you know is the world you live in…
Your wide open spaces,
your mountains and valleys,
your oceans and seven seas,
your horizons,
and your solar system,
galaxy and universe beyond…
All are limited or expanded by what you learn…
Your education means your world to you…
It is as much the ground upon which you stand
As the Earth beneath your feet
And we want to be your neighbor
Here on This week in science…
Coming up Next…

The National Academy of Sciences and The National Academy of Medicine have issued a report with guidelines for the future of human genome editing, and they basically say “go for it… within reason”.
