Dr. Jane Goodall is recognized as one of the most influential women of our time, not only for his groundbreaking research on wild chimpanzees since more than 50 years, but also for his relentless activism in favor of a more just world for all.

Jane Goodall is now a legend. From Africa he announced that chimpanzees were capable of making and using tools to hunt, to be friendly and cooperative, but also violent and competitive. He taught the world the similarity of the behavior of chimpanzees and humans. But above all it demonstrated that chimpanzees are also beings with minds, emotions and personalities.

She has received over 100 international awards for his scientific work and environmental activism.

OPINION.

Everyone knows that the technological progress made by humans has many advantages but also involves a's drawbacks, such as pollution.

I support 100% this woman, because it s not only concerned of our world, it 's also concerced about  us.

Pluto was downgraded in 2006 to the category of "dwarf planet".

We have talked a lot about the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet. However, this discussion has not reduced the scientific interest in the 'cousin' more distant from Earth. A new study, published in Nature, reveals fascinating details about the orbital and rotational patterns of Pluto and its five known moons.

Later this summer, the spacecraft New Horizons will pass by Pluto NASA and its five known moons, providing the most detailed view of this planetary system to date.

OPINION.

I ' m not very focused on these kind of themes, but it doesn' t mean that I do not like about hearing og these phenomens.

I known that pluto was considered to be a planet untill 2006, but i didn't know the reasons of its downgraded.

VOCABULARY.

Downgraded = descendido.

A children finds a dinosaur body and hands Cougar T-Rex

SUM UP

A boy, in the south of Chile, found a the first bound of a Chilesaurus diegosuarezi. This is a dinosaur which lived in the late jurasic period. This type is herbivorous so they ate plants. It has a height like a little horse, and Fernando NOvas says that they have found similar bounds in rocks that are 145 millons ages old


OPINION
It is funny that one children find something that a lot of people, with a degree in archeology, can't find. But a part of this, finding this bounds shows that we didn't know all about the earth and that it can give us a surprise every year.



VOCABULARY
Chilesaurus diegosuarezi: it is the cientific noun of this type of diosaur

This is a drawing that shows how would the dinosaur

Biography

Born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, England, Isaac Newton was an established physicist and mathematician, and is credited as one of the great minds of the 17th century Scientific Revolution. With discoveries in optics, motion and mathematics, Newton developed the principles of modern physics. In 1687, he published his most acclaimed work, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), which has been called the single most influential book on physics. Newton died in London on March 31, 1727.

Texture revolutionary to footwear that takes hold on icy and slippery surfaces

Sum Up
A land where ice has formed by low temperatures can become dangerous so the team Tilak Dutta and Reza Rizvi, the Rehabilitation Institute of Toronto, is testing the material in a laboratory with a novel platform that can be lifted into the air and inclined to create sloping ground covered with ice and snow.The heel of this prototype winter shoe is made of a gummy plastic in which is embedded the tens of thousands of tiny glass fibers protruding slightly as microscopic nails to get a good grip to the ice.

Opinion
This is really useful because every winter a lot of persons broke any bone becaus they have a bad fail. I think it's a good idea but I also think that is difficult to put this texture in all the shoes.
Here in Spain is not useful at all because here doesn't snow a lot but in some places, there are more days snowing that clear sky
Vocabulary 
Heel: the back part of the human foot, below and behind the ankle.

Gummy:  covered with or clogged by gum or sticky matter.

Summary

4,500 million years ago, our neighbor in the universe harbored enough water to cover the entire planet with an extensive but shallow sea with an average depth of only 137 meters, according to NASA announced today.

It was known that the planet had water, but not how much or for how long. "Mars was wet for about 1,500 million years, much longer than was necessary for the emergence of life on Earth," says Geronimo Villanueva, an Argentine NASA engineer who has led the team of scientists has reconstructed the martian past.
The engineer recalls that the European ExoMars mission plans to land on Mars in 2018, with a drill two meters. If confirmed the existence of groundwater, facilitate sending astronauts to Mars. Water is not only for drinking, but with the right technology can be used to obtain hydrogen as fuel ship back or to power a colony of humans.

Opinion

If this discovery is true, it's a very good new for the science because it means there could be life in Mars. If humans could do a colony of humans would be absolutely fantastic. Nevertheless, humans would probably start destroying this planet - as is happening now in the Earth.
But for the day humas arrive and do a colony in Mars has to pass a lot of time because we don't know at all what could happen or if a human could survive there for one or two months.

Glossary

Harbor: A place of shelter; a refuge.

Shallow: Measuring little from bottom to top or surface; lacking physical depth.

Average: The usual or ordinary kind or quality.

Summary

The skeletal remains of a reptile 85 million years ago have been found in the town of Pinilla del Valle (205 inhabitants), in the middle of Madrid mountains. This fossil saurian is the oldest I found so far in the Community. In fact, this extinct species have only been recorded four findings in the world. Although he lived in the Cretaceous, dominated by large lizards period was, this marine specimen only reached two meters in length. His scientific nomination is Carentonosaurus, in honor of the Charente region (France), where it was first discovered in the nineties of the last century.

Opinion

It's amazing how dinosaurs of a 100 millions of years ago can be discovered now, and also we can know of what period of the prehistorical era had they lived because of science. I'm impressed of dinosaurs and the evolution of the animals and more interesed in if this huge aquatic monsters could live. Due to science we can know more about them and I'm sure plenty of prehistorical animals and mysterious (huge) animals from the seabed have to be discovered.

Glossary

Saurian: Any of various vertebrates of the group Sauria, which includes most of the diapsids, such as the dinosaurs, lizards, snakes, crocodilians, and birds. Sauria was formerly a suborder consisting of the lizards.

Cretaceous: Of, relating to, or being the period of geologic time from about 146 to 66 million years ago, the third and most recent period of the Mesozoic Era. The Cretaceous Period is characterized by the formation of modern continents from the supercontinent Pangaea and by the development of flowering plants. The Period ended with the sudden extinction of the dinosaurs and many other forms of life.
