"Pittsburgh-based visual artist Nickolay Lamm, who blogs at UK discount site MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, worked with a computational geneticist to illustrate three ways that humans' physical appearances might change to better suit their environments over the next 100,000 years. However, many of these assumptions don't rely on evolution, but rather zygotic genome engineering technology. Scientists in the future might be able to manipulate human features prior to birth."

"Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Modern computing technology has brought these goals within sight. ICT is ready to give us a completely new understanding of the brain and its diseases; understanding the brain will lead inevitably to radical innovation in computing."

"Most of the time, when a cell in our bodies divides, each new cell carries a complete set of chromosomes. The cells involved with human reproduction, however, carry only half after division occurs. In this step-by-step explanation, learn about mitosis and meiosis, the two types of cell division."

"We humans do like to insist that we have free will, and that whatever we choose to do is entirely our own decision. But about one third of us are infected with a certain parasite. Usually, if you're not pregnant or immunocompromised, this infection does not cause too many problems. But sometimes, this infection can change your normal behavior, and even increase the chances of schizophrenia and suicide."

The lesson features a demonstration on how incomplete combustion of fossil fuels releases particles into the air that can negatively affect human health, and how we can protect ourselves from these effects."
