My interest in spiritual understanding and personal evolution began while I was in college in Mexico City. My major was Political Science and Public Administration. I decided to....
Recently, research has been published which reports on an evolutionary response to global warming. A mosquito that lives its entire life in a pitcher plant, “Wyeomyia smithii”, is the first species known to have adapted to our current, quickly changing climate...
A year ago, before I left the house to take my early morning walk, I would ingest strong, heartprotecting herbs: hawthorne berries, garlic, ginger, cayenne, red clover and motherwort. I did so because when walking only two miles...
The first time I met Mark and Marci Johns-Colson was at a showing of the film Wake Up! in a Pacific Northwest theater. Mark, his family and home, were featured in the film, and because they lived only about an hour from the theater...
What do a researcher studying disease prevention at Stanford and a particle physicist from Harvard studying changes in crime rates have in common? Both have published statistical research showing that when groups of people intentionally create...
Do you remember a time when you fell in love and your body felt “lighter than air”? Was there a secret thrill as you anticipated spending time with your lover? What about stress and the feelings of the “weight of the world” upon your shoulders?...

Science conferences are all about getting together with colleagues to discuss advances in areas of mutual interest. The research discussed and presented is sometimes outside the day-to-day activities of these scientists’ regular “day jobs.”...
The scientific interpretation of time was discussed with five noted physicists: University of Connecticut Physics Professor Dr. Ronald Mallett, author of Time Traveler: A Scientist’s Personal Mission to Make Time Travel a Reality...
Once upon a time, a friend of mine took her two very young children to a playground that had swings and slides and merry-gorounds, and was situated next to an elementary school. It was a Sunday...
What will our institutions of science be studying in 50 or 100 years? What questions will scientists be asking? What problems will they be addressing and solving? How far will our scientific understanding of nature, life and ourselves have evolved and what unknowns will we still be exploring...
In 2006, I accepted an invitation to visit China and present my experimental research to an elite yet somewhat mysterious group of scientists. These researchers have dedicated much of their professional careers to the study of extraordinary human potential...
