Vaccines Quit for You
Nelson Hernandez III
People who have problems with smoking cigarettes usually have a problem quitting their addiction. Recently, a new vaccine has been undergoing clinical trials to prove effective in helping people quit their smoking addictions. Basically, the person receives a vaccination, injected by needle, of course. Whenever the person smokes, the vaccine, called “NicVAX”, makes antibodies that attach themselves to the nicotine molecules. The antibodies prevent the nicotine from getting to the brain. Because the nicotine can’t get to the brain, the usual stimulation of the cigarette is gone which makes the smoker loose interest, and eventually stop smoking. The vaccine lasts for several months, to prevent relapse. Clinical trials are not expected to end soon, but the outcome is worth the wait.

Robots Taking Over
Robots Taking Over
Nelson Hernandez III
Have you ever been to a wedding? Have you ever been to a wedding were a robot was conducting the ceremony? Well recently, an ass in Tokyo was married by their very own robot. This robot was created by a company in Japan called “Kokoro Co.” which is one of the main leaders in robotics and technology. This is the first case of something like this happening, but is sure to start happening more and more often as technology advances. The need for a religious official conducting the ceremony will soon be gone, being replaced, by robots.
