A team of architects from Ukraine took top prize at a prestigious competition with a concept for a ‘living skyscraper’ shaped out of a grove of genetically modified trees. Their ‘Living Skyscraper for New York City’ design would mold fast-growing trees into an eco-friendly high rise or office building, with smaller branches forming individual rooms and walls. … Read more

Genetically engineered pigs have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration – the first time an intentional genomic alteration has been given clearance for both food and medical use. The pigs, called GalSafe pigs, are without a sugar on their skin that can cause a severe allergic reaction among some people. Without the … Read more
Scientists in Massachusetts create healthier beef by genetically enhancing cow cells with nutrients normally found in carrots and peppers Researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts experimented with enhancing beef cells with plant nutrients Beta carotene, lycopene and phytoene – found in plants – were added to the cells They believe the results could make a healthier cultivated … Read more

Donald Trump claimed that he was ‘genetically’ capable of understanding nuclear weapons – because his uncle was a physicist. The President told North Korean leader Kim Jong-un that he knew about his nuclear test sites ‘better than any of my people’ because his uncle Dr. John Trump taught at MIT. But Dr. Trump’s expertise was … Read more
