RP Members, for you science buffs out there, let's take a look at what events shaped 2015!
Gene-editing, climate change and Pluto are among the year’s top stories.
From climate change to gene-editing ethics, researchers tackled many thorny issues this year. They also made important discoveries — including ice mountains on Pluto, evidence of quantum weirdness and details about the molecular machines inside cells.

Thanks for sharing. I particularly enjoyed reading about Pluto et al. and vaccine victories.

The pics of Pluto were pretty cool. Nice to talk a look at the outer reaches of our neighborhood.
As far as climate change - When did global warming begin? - When the last ice age ended! Sure we need to take care of our planet, it's the only one we got, but I don't think we can effect the sun and how it's effect changes our weather. Not too far from where I live here in Denmark they dig up whale bones and such, all this was under water at one time. All around me are signs of when Denmark was completely covered by ice.
I am always amazed at the change in the internet, computers and such. We've got the "tv-phone" I remember see on "The Jetsons" as a kid. I've seen the hover board video, and some day there will be flying cars. We live in amazing times, but we can't let all this over come us and how we should be getting along with each other.
