Transgenic animals are those in which a gene of external origin has been inserted and stably and deliberately integrated into their genome.
what are transgenics
Although humanity has been modifying the genomes of organisms through various techniques for millennia, biotechnology has, in recent decades, enabled additional types of alterations.
trans-food
Genetically modified plants have generally been commercially available since 1996, following decades of research in modern biotechnology.

Contemporary universities seem to dilute their teaching and scientific vocation amid indicators, rankings, and bureaucracy. Is academia alive, or does it simply operate by inertia? How should it be rebuilt?

Why do some people (and governments) choose to ignore scientific evidence? This reflection explores why science, even when it is clear, does not always manage to break through.

By now, it has become a tradition that, at the end of the year, Jorge Valdez, science editor at TecScience, recommends a selection of science-popularization books that are ideal to read—or to give as gifts—during the holiday season.

Acknowledging the failures of climate action isn’t giving up; it’s the first step toward rethinking the change in direction, leadership, and vision.
