But it’s also expensive, creates space junk, and adds pollution from launches.

I think it’s worth it, but only if we do it responsibly and take care of Earth while reaching for space. Thoughts? #thoughts #space #science

Space exploration: pros and cons- worth it or not?

It’s helped improve medicine, boosted solar energy tech, and lets us monitor climate change from space. 1/2 #science #space #explore #astro

@AMoszenberg9928 Great response. While developments for creating a better prediction system are underway, we still cannot be certain for its accuracy. However, we could take precautionary measure for when these events happen. Implementing a general system for preparation could benefit many.

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

Can we ever predict earthquakes?

We don't and still can’t know exactly when they’ll hit, but new tech can give seconds of warning before shaking starts. That’s surely enough to save lives, protect energy systems, and reduce environmental damage. (1/2)

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

So what matters more: better prediction or better preparedness? (2/2)

The best results usually come from science backed treatment and safe supportive care.

Would you trust natural remedies alone, or stick with proven medicine??

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

Cancer Treatment: Conventional vs. Non Conventional Conventional treatments like chemotherapy and targeted therapy are backed by strong scientific evidence and work by controlling cell division or targeting cancer cells. (1/3) #science #cancer

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

Alternative treatments (herbs, homeopathy, etc...) might help you feel better, however most aren’t proven to fight cancer on their own...

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

Could nanotechnology be the future of medicine, or could it be a hidden environmental challenge?? #technology #science (3/3)

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

Nanoparticles are changing medicine! By delivering drugs directly to targeted cells, they improve treatment efficiency and reduce side effects, especially in cancer therapy and mRNA vaccines. (1/3) #science #health

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

There’s a catch: their small size may pose risks to ecosystems and human health if not carefully regulated.

As we advance, balancing innovation with safety is key. (2/3)

Hyperloop = 700 mph travel in low friction tubes

Less drag = less energy, so it could be cleaner than cars and planes!
Faster trips = less stress & traffic too
But the question remains unanswered- is it safe at those speeds, and worth the cost?

Would you ride it? #thoughts

They’re not perfect, but as technology improves, they’re becoming more realistic options for everyday use.

Which one do you think is the most important for the future? (4/4)

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

My top 3 energy sources for the future:

1: Solar. I like solar because it’s clean and we get sunlight every day. With better technology, it’s becoming more efficient and affordable. (1/4)

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

I think these energy sources are important because they reduce pollution, improve air quality, and help us rely less on fossil fuels. That’s better for both people and the environment in the long run. (3/4)

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

2: Wind. Wind energy can produce a lot of power without polluting the air, which helps protect both the environment and our health.

3: Hydropower. This one stands out because it’s very reliable and can provide steady energy when solar or wind aren’t as strong. (2/4)

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

Still, challenges like cost, regulation, and quality control remain. Would you trust a 3D printed prescription? (3/3)

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

What if your medicine was made just for YOU?

3D printing is transforming healthcare by creating personalized pills tailored to a patient’s exact needs, which is adjusting dosage, release time, and even combining multiple medications into one. (1/3)

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

-Better treatment & fewer side effects -Less waste from unused meds -Local production = less energy + transport Chemistry makes this possible by controlling how drug layers dissolve in the body. (2/3)

[Leland Mergillano @LMergillano]

Do you think hydrogen-powered vehicles will eventually replace gas cars, or are electric vehicles a better solution?
