Weekly Science Report - June 23, 2014

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
-Leo Buscaglia

Introduction
This publication was created with the support of Graham Hancock, John Anthony West and Steve Detwiler to share news and information on various disciplines to include paleontology, space sciences, genetics and archaeology.

By sharing knowledge we can make our world a better place. 

Since the beginning of the internet age we have always heard of the world being drawn together but through my investigations I’ve never found a publication like the Weekly Science Report. This publication just one contribution to bring people together and share ideas and discoveries with my fellow man.

I hope you enjoy this publication and that the content challenges and inspires you!
