Being the hottest and most controversial topic for more than a year now, COVID-19 seriously affects our daily lives and the most critical tool […]

Today, our science study group visited the South Coast Botanical Garden and nearby nature reserves in Southern California. There are banyan trees, flowers, and various small animals here, and periodic lakes where the traces of the lake bottom are still somewhat visible.
