A spaceship crew marooned on an alien planet is a staple of science fiction. Just about every " Star Trek " series has a version of it and the Space Family Robinson dealt with it just about every week on the original " Lost in Space " series. So it's no surprise to see the trope appear in " Symmetry ," a survival game released in 2018, which puts you in charge of your own embattled crew.
According to our friends at PC Gamer , "Symmetry" is free right now on the GOG games website , but you'd better act fast. This deal ends on Sunday, April 5, at 9 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT).

The educational documentary " Dolphin Reef " is about much more than just dolphins. Viewers will learn about the entire ecosystem of the Polynesian coral reef and the traits and behaviors of many of its creatures. A dolphin mother and her calf are the stars, and their tender relationship is both heartwarming and enlightening. A sequence in which the calf gets separated from his mother and pod and is lost for the night, facing dangers on his own, could potentially upset some viewers.

" Endlings " is a Canadian drama series about a family that protects the extraterrestrial beings and endangered creatures they discover. Some of the creatures look scary, and there are tense moments during which the creatures' intentions are uncertain. And some of the adult characters do things that suggest they're motivated by greed and selfishness, at the potential expense of endangered species.

As the world’s population increases and the demand for food continues to rise, the need to improve crop yields only grows, not only for the current consuming population but also for the nearly one billion people whose food supply and resources are currently insecure. Estimates for crop yields to feed the 2050 population call for 50 to 100 percent production increases and at least an additional 500 million-hectares of land to meet future agricultural needs.
Federica Brandizzi , MSU Foundation Professor of plant biology and a member of the MSU-DOE Plant Research Lab , or PRL, is the recipient of the MSU Innovation Center’s 2020 Innovator of the Year Award in recognition of her research on increasing plant size to maximize the space needed for more crops. Specifically, she is investigating the technology needed to help plant cells soften their cell walls to allow them to expand and grow bigger in the field.

Dr Chris Miller, Consultant on ward 23, said: "After a very tough week, this has really been a light at the end of the tunnel."
If police fines , pleas from MPs and chief medical experts and social media users' disapproval are not enough to persuade some people to stay in, perhaps the Daleks will.
