*Weekly Science Report*

*March 4, 2016*

*“The true meaning of Islam will not only focus on how Muslims worship but
also on who we are: mothers, fathers, spouses, students, neighbors,
friends.  People who smile with pride at their child’s first step; laugh
with friends over the old times; worry about exam results; cry at the sight
of our children in pain.  People just like you!”*

Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of the Kingdom of Jordan on being Muslim

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 humans.

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

*Star Trek Axanar:* http://www.startrekaxanar.com/

Axanar is a ground breaking independent film that proves the idea that a
studio doesn’t need to spend millions of dollars to produce a feature
quality production.  Axanar will be the first non-CBS/Paramount produced
