Dasia Taylor,now 22, developed a surgical suture that changes color in response to pH changes associated with wound infections. #Invention #Innovation #MedicalBreakthroughs

Another 18 people were murdered yesterday in Gaza. No international condemnation, outrage or discussion of protection. This has gone on far too long. It’s time to send in peace keeping forces.
