Dear readers

The future is definitely closely tied to science and technology. There are often controversies to whether those man-made technologies would elevate us or destroy us. Scientists improved technology in terms of feeding the world population, such as commercializing the first FDA approved GMO animal Atlantic Salmon in 2017; however, other technologies such as AI and its possibilities of threatening human labor poised a deeper concern. We as editors of Focal Point have no definite answer for where the future lies, but we strive to present incidents and opinions for you all to form your own judgements. We hope that some of these articles could be a scope for people to peek into the galaxy of science—finding the mesmerizing and mysterious part of it—and use them as a source of unexpected inspiration or pure intellectual delight. Even though the world is turning and changing in a speed faster than ever, we can always keep an open mind, move along with the world, and initialize changes for the world to be a better place.

Stay inquisitive and curious,
