Research summary
Throughout the many decades of human history, we often find ourselves fantasizing about what the future would look like in 20-30 years' time. The idea of autonomous cars has stuck by many people even to this day.
However, as technologies are changing every day and our hopes of a futuristic world are all but a distant dream, the dangers of technology are all but ignored by the bright-eyed eyes of the masses. Autonomous cars, like any other electronic device, are prone to cyberattacks and can possibly serve as a danger to the passengers as well as the people around the vehicle. Cyber terrorists and hackers may now have an easier way to infiltrate and wreak havoc on the general public.

Media may ingrain certain beliefs and instill fears, such as xenophobia.
In this day and age, the media is seen as a platform that shapes our view of the world. It can also serve as the root of dissension and misconceptions that decimates the peace maintained among people.
The media's ubiquity is used to influence many. It may ingrain certain beliefs and instill fears, such as xenophobia. To illustrate this, messages broadcasted on Twitter endorsed by internet personalities can induce unnecessary fears of foreigners in netizens. The thousands of viewers may forward the messages to their counterparts, reaching a larger spectrum of viewers. Consequently, netizens may form prejudices against a particular race and begin to discriminate against them. We could be facing a global catastrophe.
Xenophobia is a negative perception of races that are slipped into media reports with the intent to sow discord. Newspaper publications and propaganda aim at provoking emotional responses in the audience by the use of representation. However, even the biggest media outlets fail to realize the grave consequences of their actions.

Research summary
Algae may help curb the growing global demand for protein.
The world depends on animals as its main protein source and livestock farming generates harmful greenhouse gases. Areas undergo deforestation to make land for farming, and large amounts of water and crops are needed to feed livestock. As the world's demand for protein continues to increase, there needs to be a more sustainable source of protein. Algae might just be what we need.
Algae can be consumed in many ways: Directly, processed into snack products, as a seasoning, vitamins, and food supplements, in powder form, as part of vegan meat, and many more. Algae also grow faster than livestock, require fewer resources to farm, and are carbon-neutral.

Research summary
The rise of the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of a conducive study space. This infectious virus affected schools worldwide, closing off physical classes, causing many institutions to opt for e-learning from the comfort of their homes. Once a resting spot, homes have turned into a place of study. Many educators have put their best effort into maximizing class time, but it is still not enough to get students to concentrate.
A home is a place for various kinds of entertainment: cellphones, television, video games, and bed, to name a few. Students would have easier access to these media, pulling attention away from class time. Furthermore, the lack of ability for educators to be physically present meant rules for discipline were much looser. Focusing in class while drawing attention away from entertainment requires a great effort, mainly for younger students. Additionally, the design of a home environment may also hinder student productivity, such as tight spaces, cluttered rooms, and inadequate lighting.
