Why Everything’s A Tesla Killer: Tesla Stuffing, For Science

December 9, 20196 years ago Jennifer Sensiba 0 Comments

For both Tesla fans and Tesla critics (including the extreme versions of both kinds of Tesla-interested people), there’s definitely one thing all of us in and out of Tesla-dom can agree on: the “Tesla Killer” thing is getting old (even for a young brand like Tesla). We have our own different reasons for thinking the Tesla killer thing is wrong, but it’s well known that as a meme it’s not only cliche but absurd to say every new EV or mobility service is going to kill Tesla, or to compare everything to Tesla.

The Journal of Epidemiology: Linking Air Pollution Nanoparticles & Incident of Brain Tumors

December 3, 20196 years ago Cynthia Shahan 0 Comments

Science and modern biochemistry have all kinds of answers on the brain and human health, but scientific knowledge alone can’t stop air pollution. Those studies can make citizens aware of how compromised we are. They can let us know that air pollution is indeed a threat to the brain’s and body’s core functions. But humans must act on this knowledge to make it truly useful.
