A Walk Into The Gardens Of My Mind

Since the terrible and immoral killing of American journalist James Foley, there has been moral panic worldwide, amongst Muslims and Non-Muslims alike. As a young Muslimah living in London, I am outraged at the killing of Foley and my deepest condolences and respects go to his family and friends. The government really do need to do their bit and pull up their socks, in order to tackle those Muslims who may hold radicalised views. How many more innocent lives need to be taken, how many more awkward glances should Muslims be given, for the government to wake up and make an impact on this issue, to bring the world safety and peace. I understand that there has been recent talks of Home Secretary Theresa May bringing in an anti social behaviour order to deter terrorist attacks home and abroad. Although potential terrorists may have 16- hour curfews and be placed afar from their homes and denied any communication, I still have this anxiety within me. But all we can do now, is pray an

Science is continuously aiming to create awe-inspiring, thought provoking medical aid for humans, and sometimes I find that it can be quite hard to comprehend. Researchers from the US have now grown 3D brain tissue in a bid to cure brain related diseases, namely dementia. According to The Telegraph, Dr.David Kaplan of Tufts University, Boston, was claimed to have said, "   The hope is that the use of this model could lead to an acceleration of therapies for brain dysfunction as well as offer a better way to study normal brain physiology."  What scientists had discovered is that by using doughnut shaped scaffold in addition to a special gel, they good encourage growth from rat neurons, which will ultimately mould into a complex brain tissue. To replicate a brain injury/ illness, weights were dropped onto the brain tissue from various heights. Now, this gives me goosebumps mixed with new found joy at the same time.  If scientists manage to crack the code and override t
