NOTE for those who still need to complete this assignment: You are searching the web for a recent scientific discovery in a news article and filling out the assignment sheet according the instructions.

The second assignment is identical, expect that the second article is a related article to that of your first (these are often included as recommendations on the same page, but not always...you may have to search Google or other sources to find related topics).
