Coral is a beautiful natural wonder, and the new strategy to restore dying coral is one the world needs.

I had a friend who passed due to lupus, wish she was here today 😢

[keystorm]

Kind of scary. But I know they are close to age reversal. They already started working on dogs. Look it up. Its interesting to say the least.

I always love new scientific discoveries I get excited when it comes to light. 😍

[alistertowelie]

the stuff about animals and medicine is the most exciting to me

You want to know what's really crazy about CRISPR? After gene editing, the normal process of genetic replication happens. But instead of making a perfect copy of the altered genetic code, DNA replication and repair restore the DNA back to the original code.

No one understands how the genetic code is reverted back to the original, disfunction code. It doesn't always happen but it happens enough to make CRISPR questionable.

“ pretty hot actually ”

It’s a cool top 30 but knowing your humanity all of this will probably be way too expensive for the average person

Science made battery cheaper. Dealerships made it expensive. Lol.

I lost 100lbs on Majouro....then insurance decided that they will no longer cover ANY weightloss meds, not even one that are $16 cash price. Employer was bought, new insurance doesn't cover weightloss meds
I understand why that CEO was visited.

Nice video, … now rank the final fantasy games again!

I'd love to visit this other earth. Seems interesting. 🎉

Good list. How about the launch of the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft that took pictures of and successfully retrieved samples of the Bennu asteroid. Nasa collaborated with Sir Brian May on the study/project. He suggested printing pictures of the asteroid's surface in stereoscopic (3d) form, among other contributions.The 3d pictures proved invaluable to the study and mapping of the asteroid, including finding a place for the spacecraft to land.

Check out Dr Michael Pender (immunology) in Queensland, Australia.

He's doing research into auto immune diseases and they're about to do clinical trials on (amongst other applications of the research) reducing and potentially reversing the damage cause by multiple sclerosis.

I mean I am biased as I have a family to tie him, but the work he's doing is amazing.

This video encourages me to buy less plastic bags.

It's difficult to cram a meaningful amount of information into what amounts to 30 consecutive short videos, but you've done about as well as the format allows. You're probably correct in believing you'd lose more viewership if it ran longer than you would gain in total watch time.

Slowly treading the comment section in fear of spotting a cold fusion post...

[Jonah-Hosein]

considering the recent lawsuit of ozempic, i'm surprised its even on this list 😂

[MalikWill]

a cure for sickle cell is great, i hate dealing with this bs

Bioluminescence, they knew in the 90s certain fish had this as one has an antenna that flashed .
