Human tutors are usually good teachers — but what if a computer program could do the same thing, right down to identifying students’ emotions and boredom levels?

My dad was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about 10 years ago.  My brother was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes within the last 5 years.  Diabetes has affected my brothers vision resulting in numerous laser treatments to stop the hemorrhaging behind his eyes...

Apps for your phone, apps for you iPad/tablet, they're everywhere.  Games, maps, gps, dating, music, anything you can think of probably has an app for it.

It's not going to happen today, but, someday you’ll likely turn to your smart phone for medical tests instead of the hospital.

Think back to high school. What did you do in your spare time? Hang out at the mall, go to the movies, talk on the phone with your friends? Well, I know what I wasn't doing in my spare time, finding a cure for cancer. But, that's exactly what 17-year-old Angela Zhang of Cupertino, California did.

Have you found it more difficult to surf web sites today?  I mean, have you found that some just don't work?  I did.  I tried to use Wikipedia for some research and nothing.  It was dark?  And, if you search using Google, check it out...they've blacked out their logo.

Here's something interesting. A new study has found we can actually smell someone's state-of-mind!  No.....really! Researchers have been testing the ability of people to identify emotional cues from another person based on "chemo-sensory compounds" that are released by the body.

I love this hope filled story! A 17 year old high school student has developed a particle that could literally  change how cancer treatments are administered.  She compares it to Swiss Army Knife precision. Angela Zhang, from California, is only 17 years old but has already taken top honors at the Siemens Foundation's annual high school science competition.   Her prize?  A $100,000 dollar scholars
