As a senior, the number one question you get asked is “what are your plans for the future.” And whether or not you have a job lined up, most often the real answer is that you have no idea. The pressure is on for recent graduates.

Gene editing is the hottest new technique in biotechnology. Even though biologists have been editing the genes of organisms for the past two decades, a hot new development has revolutionized the way it is accomplished. This breakthrough is known as “clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats” – or CRISPR for short. Unlike older methods of editing genes – which could cost 1000s of dollars – biologists are able to edit the genes of nearly any organism for about $30 using CRISPR. CRISPR was originally a mechanism that bacteria used to defend themselves from their enemies.

Social media was abuzz last week over news that Sen. Bernie Sanders had been invited to the Vatican by Pope Francis. After rumors began to circulate that the above statement was incorrect, debate ensued, plagued with broad generalizations and sweeping characteristics about candidates and their respective parties, over how and why Sanders had actually been invited to the Vatican. It turns out that the Chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, invited Sanders to address the Academy during their conference on social, economic, and environmental issues. The conference celebrates the 25th anniversary of an encyclical by Pope John Paul II about the pitfalls of the market economy and the globalization of the aforementioned issues. No, the Pope himself did not wake up one morning and decide to invite Sanders to a meeting as some sort of subliminal endorsement of his candidacy. However, a bishop, who is quite close to the pope, did make a specific decision about which candidate for the United States presidency to invite to speak on these issues. And he chose Bernie Sanders. This should be not overlooked or marginalized.

A same-sex couple from Ontario, Canada, recently filed suit against an Augusta, Ga. sperm bank after they received notice of information they did not have at the time of their sperm collection: their donor has schizophrenia and a criminal record, and he had lied about the amount of higher education he had completed.
