Ugghhh COVID - 19 is everywhere rite now,killing milllions,not enabling students to go out and enjoy after board exams,not allowing them to eat ice creams and cakes.....What not has this COVID - 19 done to us?

It came from a seafood and meat market in Wuhan,China and is now spreading throughout the globe at an increasing rate. So what is this corona virus? A corona virus is a virus found in animals,that is rarely transmitted to humans and when transmitted to a human,spreads from a person to another person.

What are the symptoms of corona virus?
It takes 2-14 days after exposure to the virus for symptoms to develop. Symptoms may include:
1. Low grade fever that gradually increases in temperature.
2. Cough
3. Shortness of breath.

Those with weak immune systems may develop more serious symptoms,like bronchitis or pneumonia. 

PREVENTION OF CORONA VIRUS:

1. Maintain distance from people who are sick and avoid meeting in large groups.
2. Cover your cough with a tissue. Don't cough on your hands.
3. Wash your hands often with soap and water for atleast 20 seconds,especially after going to the bathroom,before eating and after blowing your nose,coughing or sneezing. Avoid touching your mouth,nose or eyes.

POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS FROM COVID - 19:
1. Fatigue
2. Severe muscle pain
3. Arrhythmia (irregular heart rate)
4. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
5. Cardiovascular shock

Stay hygienic,stay safe and prevent yourself from getting infected by COVID - 19 !!

UNDERSTANDING AN ADOLESCENT'S BRAIN- IS IT ACTUALLY SIMPLE?

Image Source: https://movingscience.dk/infographic-about-the-adolescent-brain-development/ It really doesn't matter how smart an adolescent is, or how well they scored in NEET/JEE/SAT or whatever. Adolescence is a remarkable phase of human development, often marked by a unique blend of curiosity and self-discovery. I know it's been really long since I have posted here, and one of my friends wanted me to write on how an adolescent's brain behaves so distinctly compared to kids and adults- and so this is for her and for everyone else sitting with their curious caps on! The adolescent brain is a dynamic landscape of neuroplasticity, where synapses are pruned and rewired to optimize cognitive function. This plasticity not only facilitates learning, but also paves the way for development of higher-order thinking and decision making. A rapid increase in the connections between the brain cells also occurs, which makes the neural pathways more effective.  For both boys and girls, a

CAN TWO EGGS BE FERTILISED TO FORM A ZYGOTE?

  So, one of my friends asked me this brilliant curious question one day - Instead of a sperm fertilising an egg, can an egg fertilise another egg? So, this post is mainly for her and many other inquisitive people out there wondering similar things. I have been having so many thoughts on this and the following is a small gist of my thoughts penned down.  So let's say one were to take an egg, insert the DNA from another egg, and then insert centrosomes from another cell, is it possible for the cell to divide? Well, probably we might have to give it a mild electric shock. This is what is done in some cloning techniques. I mean, of course, there is no guarantee that this method is bound to work, but probably it might work?  Replication can be done in the lab too but the issue is that there is not much understanding about gene regulation and reproduction. Most of us know about Dolly, the sheep which was the first mammal to be cloned, using the diploid nucleus from an adult tissue. Here

DOES MUSIC MOVE YOU? HERE'S THE ACTUAL REASON WHY IT HAPPENS!

For all the music lovers, this post is especially for you all! Imagine a day without music- a world where melodies don't grace our ears, and rhythms don't resonate within our souls. From the soothing cadence of a lullaby to the pulsating beats of an adrenaline-filled anthem, music has an unparalleled ability to mold our emotional landscapes and shape our mental well-being. Even some nearly non-communicative people with Alzheimer's disease sing along and engage in conversations when the music they have listened to the most, during their childhood days, is played.  Let's actually explore the reason why and how music moves us so much! When you listen to music, it is basically like a power-up for your brain! It's like a surge of energy zipping through your mind. When you tune in, your brain gets a boost- the
