<Tagline>Pre-date RNA?</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Most scientist accept the RNA world hypothesis, which states that RNA
     was the first biological molecule due to its ability to copy itself and
     pass along genetic traits. However, Nicholas Hud, a chemist at the 
    Georgia Institute of Technology, wasn’t convinced.</p>
    <p>A recent article in WIRED, courtesy of <a href="https://www.simonsfoundation.org/quanta/20140205-chemists-pursue-possible-precursor-to-rna/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Quanta Magazine</a>,
     discusses Hud’s experiment with the building blocks of RNA. The 
    experiment made a breakthrough with the discovery of a chemical recipe 
    that points to the existence of a molecule that might pre-date RNA.</p>
    <p>Quanta interviewed Stephen Freeland, director of UMBC’s interdiscipinary studies program, for the article. “In
     my opinion, nothing like this has been seen before,” Dr. Freeland said,
     before going on to say that the experiment leads to conceptual 
    progress, even if it did not use the exact components of the unknown 
    molecule.</p>
