Biotechnology Continues to Modify Genetics with T Cells
Biotechnology is still a relatively new concept for the general public that utilizes technical methods to diagnose problematic cells in the body. A quick definition of the word: 'At its simplest, biotechnology is technology based on biology - biotechnology harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet.

The Donald Trump Transition Takes Steps in the Right Direction
The Donald Trump transition continues to reshape the political structure of the United States. He has made suggestions for a tax plan that would put a 35% tax on businesses that hire staff outside of the country for lower wages. I strongly back raising taxes on everyone to help get our country out of debt. Another strong suggestion for the Donald Trump transition team is to raise taxes early in his presidency, and turn the tables on the mainstream media. Deep down, I truly believe Trump wants to help this country grow. It doesn't make any sense for him
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Announced Dakota Access Pipeline to be Rerouted
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has announced today on Twitter that the Dakota Access Pipeline will not run under Lake Oahe as proposed, and the Army Corp of Engineers will be looking for additional routes to run the pipeline.

Fortune recently covered Telsa's progression in renewable energy
