This weekend, Yavapai College Verde Valley campus will host a Plant-a-Vine event beginning May 3 at 8 a.m, where you can help plant new varieties of grapes in the educational vineyard.  For more information and directions to the event, see: http://www.yc.edu/v5content/yavapai-college-foundation/plant-vine.htm

If you are interested in new developments in health and science, here is an interesting TED Talk that suggests we now have the capability to skip human and animal drug trials (and the time/expense) and test them on a computer chip that simulates human organs.  Wow.  See it at: http://www.ted.com/talks/geraldine_hamilton_body_parts_on_a_chip.html
