    <nav>
      <ul>
        <li>1914 - Born in Cresco, Iowa</li>
        <li>1933 - Leaves his family's farm to attend the University of Minnesota, thanks to a Depression era program known as the "National Youth Administration"</li>
        <li>1935 - Has to stop school and save up more money. Works in the Civilian Conservation Corps, helping starving Americans. "I saw how food changed them", he said. "All of this left scars on me."</li>
        <li>1937 - Finishes university and takes a job in the US Forestry Service</li>
        <li>1938 - Marries wife of 69 years Margret Gibson. Gets laid off due to budget cuts. Inspired by Elvin Charles Stakman, he returns to school study under Stakman, who teaches him about breeding pest-resistent plants.</li>
    <li>1941 - Tries to enroll in the military after the Pearl Harbor attack, but is rejected. Instead, the military asked his lab to work on waterproof glue, DDT to control malaria, disinfectants, and other applied science.</li>
  <li>1942 - Receives a Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Pathology</li> 
  <li>1944 - Rejects a 100% salary increase from Dupont, leaves behind his pregnant wife, and flies to Mexico to head a new plant pathology program. Over the next 16 years, his team breeds 6,000 different strains of disease resistent wheat - including different varieties for each major climate on Earth.</li> 
  <li>1945 - Discovers a way to grown wheat twice each season, doubling wheat yields</li>
  <li>1953 - crosses a short, sturdy dwarf breed of wheat with a high-yeidling American breed, creating a strain that responds well to fertilizer. It goes on to provide 95% of Mexico's wheat.</li>
  <li>1962 - Visits Delhi and brings his high-yielding strains of wheat to the Indian subcontinent in time to help mitigate mass starvation due to a rapidly expanding population</li>
  <li>1970 - receives the Nobel Peace Prize</li>
  <li>1983 - helps seven African countries dramatically increase their maize and sorghum yields</li>
  <li>1984 - becomes a distinguished professor at Texas A&M University</li>
  <li>2005 - states "we will have to double the world food supply by 2050." Argues that genetically modified crops are the only way we can meet the demand, as we run out of arable land. Says that GM crops are not inherently dangerous because "we've been genetically modifying plants and animals for a long time. Long before we called it science, people were selecting the best breeds."</li>
  <li>2009 - dies at the age of 95.</li>

Learning to describe problems is hard, but it is an important part of learning how to code.
Also, the more you say, the more we can help!

Welcome to the forum @herdeysquare
You also have another test not passing. You have two divs with an id of img-caption, and one of them doesn’t have any text.
image
The div with the caption needs to be nested inside a certain element.

The test you are referring requires the #image to be centered inside it’s parent element. Are you sure this is happening?

Happy coding

i get the div part but im still confused confused with centering the #image. thanks

Hello @herdeysquare !

I believe @Teller was providing good guidance in bringing attention to the div with the same id. ID needs to be unique.

What happens if there is more than one id use for different properties, is the program does not know which one to render. So, either nothing happens, or what we are expecting to happen does not happen.

@Teller was showing you this because maybe this is why the centering issue is happening for the #image because they duplicate id may be causing the issue for the program.

I suggest changing one of the id to something else. Then, run the code.

If it does not work. Then, please, post the updated code here for further assistance, and state the error message.
Providing the updated code is very important to allow the community the opportunity to find the changes and make suggestions based on a accurate view of the code.

I hope this helps you understand why @Teller was suggesting the div id issues.

If the update does pass, please remember to check Solution by Teller

Happy coding! :sun_with_face:
