“Closing the gap would give the 3.9 billion women in the world today an extra seven healthy days a year, or an average of 500 days over a lifetime.” Sheila Uria Veliz and Mehek Bapna are not related, at least not by blood, but they share something similar.

Our video is an allegorical conversation between Prometheus, the Titan who defied Zeus and gave humans the gift of fire, and the human spirit, represented by Galileo Galilei, whose 15th century exploration of celestial bodies was the initial step in our achievement of another transformative triumph of mankind: our ability to leave the earth and travel to -and establish human settlements on -other celestial bodies.
When scientific scholars look back on our current time period, they will call it the beginning of the Genomic Era. In just the past ten years, scientists have achieved techniques that not only transform existing life forms, but also create entirely new species.
Nothing is more evident in clinical medicine than the complex and interactive relationship between human biology and the environment in which individuals find themselves.
“Everything flows, nothing stands still. Nothing endures but change.” -Heraclitus

Women want relationships, while men do not.
Dr. Marazziti speculates that this similarity in hormone levels helps to solidify relationships in their shaky early stages by erasing differences.

Indeed, the fact that males have testes and females have ovaries leads to a lifelong sexually dimorphic hormonal profile, especially in testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone levels. These sex hormones exert both permanent and protein modification.
