Science and technology is always changing rapidly. Scientists are always going outside of the box to try to create new technologies and better ways of thinking to further how people perceive ideas.

Although Notley’s program’s directive is to provide more affordable daycare for shift workers, it inadvertently endorses better health outcomes for children.
