Thus, you get things like, "I'm not descended from a monkey!!!!" It's not that many people don't favor evolution, it's that they don't even know what it is.
'Lung In A Box' Keeps Organs Breathing Before Transplants by Michaeleen Doucleff February 10, 201412:49 PM An experimental device keeps a lung warm, breathing and nourished while outside the body. Credit: UCLA Health/YouTube Doctors at the University of California, Los Angeles, explain how the "heart in a box" machine works. When doctors rush a lung to a hospital for a transplant, the precious cargo arrives in the operating room in a container that seems more appropriate for Bud Light — a cooler filled with ice. That's been the protocol for donated organs for decades. Doctors drop them into a plastic bag and put them on ice. But lungs soon stop breathing. Hearts stop beating. The organs essentially shut down and start to deteriorate. This means doctors have only about to get the lung from the donor into the recipient. If the travel time is too long, the organ can't be used and goes to waste. Now a team of doctors and engineers in Massachusetts is trying to change that.... http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/201...box-keeps-organs-breathing-before-transplants
I'll post this here just because it's more relevant. Anybody watch TED conferences? http://www.ted.com/talks/kathryn_schulz_on_being_wrong.html
If you could afford it, would you have a "genetically engineered" baby? This topic has fascinated me for a while now, probably because when I was a young I watched a lot of cartoons where people would suffer genetic mutations and become super human. Anyone to able to that have your child receive certain traits while avoiding any terrible ones like genetic disease is beyond amazing imo. http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/22/opinion/klitzman-genetic-testing/index.html?hpt=hp_t4
I would not dont ask why i just wouldnt because it doesnt feel right , however I am open to all preemptive measures to make sure children are born healthy and without any handicapping diseases
Amazing. Extremely inaccessible to the the majority lol The 47% of jobs being automated is no bueno tho. Lots of jobs gone if so
Solar Panel Roadways This is Julie and Scott Brusaw, creators of Solar Roadways. Solar Roadways is a modular paving system of solar panels that can withstand the heaviest of trucks (250,000 pounds). These Solar Road Panels can be installed on roads, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, bike paths, playgrounds... literally any surface under the sun. They pay for themselves primarily through the generation of electricity, which can power homes and businesses connected via driveways and parking lots. A nationwide system could produce more clean renewable energy than a country uses as a whole https://imgur.com/gallery/vSeVZ
That's an interesting concept. Would love to see it implemented and tested on a small scale town street for a few years.
I think the proper term is a geek. There is a big difference. Geeks Nerds House of a nerd: Hose of a geek: Wife of a nerd: Wife of a geek:
I like both. They can be really funny(like The Big Bang Theory cast) and of course you learn so much from them. When i was in University all i cared about was partying and wasnt really focusing much on my studies...Later on, i started appreciating all that other stuff(technology, science etc) much more. When friends would call me and ask me to go party, more often i'd decide to stay back and hang out with geek types and we'd build our own PC's. .. Life is different for everyone i guess so for me i just want to learn about certain things as much as i can.
@Mustafa Filipovic, no I meant nerd. I'm just giving you guys a hard time. Back to playing scientists with you all, business as usual.
