the Science of Flight
1.24K subscribers Since the beginning, man had looked to the sky only to have remained earth-shackled. Aerospace engineering changed all that in a very short 100+ years. The airplane has come a long way since the 1903 Wright Flyer and aerospace engineering along with it. If you look at a modern-day fighter jet it’s no wonder that nowadays aerospace engineering curriculum can be a daunting task. This leads to 19 credit hour semesters being the norm, fast pace classes, missed content, less interactive lessons, lower comprehension due to shorter discussions, and never enough time to read the textbooks. Combine this with thick accents, difficult concepts, and professors who care more about research than teaching and engineering education turns into a game of stamina instead of a game of wit. At the Science of Flight we believe that excellence in engineering starts with excellent education and tSoF is dedicated to improving aerospace engineering education for the student as well as the working professional.

When a company reaches the top of the ladder, they typically kick it away so that others cannot climb up on it. The aim? So that another company can't compete. When this happens in the pharmaceutical world, certain companies stay at the top of the ladder, through broadly-protected patents, at the cost of everyday people benefitting from increased competition. Since companies have worked out how to legally game the system, Amin argues we need to get rid of this "one size fits all" system, which treats product innovation — "tweaks" — the same as product invention. 5 Things Big Pharma Can Expect from the 2020s / Episode 13 - The Medical Futurist

What Is DNA | Genetics | Biology | FuseSchool
What Is DNA | Genetics | Biology | FuseSchool DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) is extremely important. All living things have DNA, or in the case of some viruses they have RNA instead. In eukaryotes, it is found within the nucleus and is arranged into chromosomes. DNA determines the characteristics of an organism. Specific codes of DNA are called genes. DNA is made up of nucleotides. Nucleotides are repeating units, that are made up of a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. There are 4 nitrogen bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. The bases pair up and the DNA twists into a double helix shape.

The Future of the Internet: From 5G to Starlink
5G networks are coming and, for the most part, we should be excited about it. 5G represents a hefty upgrade in speed achieved by using much higher radio frequencies to transfer data. The good news: more data equals faster speeds. The not-so-good news? The nature of higher frequencies means that 5G comes with a distribution problem. One that can only be solved by replacing existing cell towers and adding many, many more. But there is a global initiative on the horizon that could help. Enter Elon Musk… His proposed solution is Starlink – a SpaceX operated network of 12,000 satellites which would provide high-performance internet access anywhere in the world to anyone with a small, affordable receiver. The downside? 12,000 Starlink satellites at altitudes of between 550 and 1150 km is A LOT, and could contribute to an already problematic amount of space debris. Not to mention lighting up the night sky! Either way, speed, accessibility and security will be key to ensuring the internet continues to be a beneficial force in our lives. But at what cost?
