Far more people are recognizing the toxic soup that we are swimming in daily, but could this Exposome Moonshot project be hope for the future, or should we hesitate in the face of hype? Apparently someone in the science world caught wind of the problems we are facing and decided to gather government leaders, scientists,…
For millennia, man has asked what makes us do what we do, reaching a multitude of answers, some on target and some not. Ultimately, we are driven both by physical and spiritual factors.
