*Weekly Science Report*

*June 5, 2015*

*“Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion
and bamboozle requires vigilance, dedication and courage.  But if we don’t
practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly
serious problems that face us-and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, a
world of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who saunters along.”*

Carl Sagan

 Introduction

I created this publication with the support of Graham Hancock and John
Anthony West to share news and information on various disciplines to
include paleontology, space sciences, genetics and archaeology.  My goal
behind sharing this publication has always been very simple, by sharing
knowledge we can make our world a better place.  Since the beginning of the
internet age we have always heard of the world being drawn together but
through my investigations I’ve never found a publication like the Weekly
Science Report.  This publication is my contribution to bring people
together and share ideas and discoveries with my fellow man.

I hope you enjoy this publication and that the content challenges and
inspires you!
