Today is the day of science. Over the past few decades, scientists of all kinds have been debunking centuries old notions of beliefs, tearing them down, and building a new infrastructure based on proven science.

Suddenly, Tanya woke to the screaming cries of a baby coming down the hall of Saint John’s Hospital, and unsurprisingly the cries of the newborn baby girl made her way into her room. The baby girl went silent as soon as Tanya put a bottle in her mouth. With curiosity her large eyes stayed open to the world in desperate need to see everything around her. She wanted to explore.
