How Can An Organ Be Invisible?
November 26, 2020
Neha Shaw
When you see or hear the word “organ”, what comes to mind? When it comes to the integral parts of our bodies that unconsciously and perpetually carry out life-sustaining functions, the organs you might think of are often the ones discussed most commonly. While we can’t see most of our organs doing work within us, there is one particular building block in the bodies of about half of the world’s population that can be considered “invisible.” The organ in question? The cervix.

Getting Tech Literate: Facial Recognition Systems

September 6, 2020

As the influence of technology in today's politics, economics, and society becomes increasingly apparent and strong, it's important to become technologically literate and understand their functions, ethics, and role in policymaking.

With all that has happened this year, having a positive mindset is more beneficial than ever.
