Summary

🎀 Highlights

For example, burning coal is incredibly bad for the environment, and renewable alternatives are available. Yet coal consumption has actually grown since 2000. Coal isn’t even very profitable.
For example, burning coal is incredibly bad for the environment, and renewable alternatives are available. Yet coal consumption has actually grown since 2000. Coal isn’t even very profitable. Nearly half of the world’s coal power plants run at a loss – they only keep going to pay off their debt.
Think about how 9/11 changed the way we thought about terrorism. Or how COVID-19 is changing how we think about viruses. It seems like it’ll take something momentous to trigger a change in how
Think about how 9/11 changed the way we thought about terrorism. Or how COVID-19 is changing how we think about viruses. It seems like it’ll take something momentous to trigger a change in how we think about the climate. But if even Hurricane Katrina didn’t manage, what will? It’s a scary thought.
The body already makes IL10 naturally, just not enough.
It’s a one-time solution for people with kidney transplants.
Similarly, only a fraction of the human genome actually gets expressed.
Similarly, only a fraction of the human genome actually gets expressed. We also contain genetic material that isn’t part of our genome at all: the DNA of trillions of bacteria and viruses,
We literally contain the genetic coding of mushrooms or meat or whatever else we consume.
He asked the doctor to send his mother’s tumor to the lab at IndieBio.
Arvind found nine mutations in his mom’s tumor
Arvind spent some time with the “Iceman” Wim Hof, who, through his extreme breathing techniques, can run marathons in subzero temperatures wearing only a pair of shorts. We still aren’t clear on the science behind this.
His aim is to turbocharge the process by which CO2 can be captured
Llama antibodies, anyone? What about niclosamide? It’s usually used for birth control but had some effect against SARS, so might be worth a shot.
Everyone’s saying the virus came from bats. Quite possible – bats are home to loads of viruses.
The bat genome protects bats against viruses extremely well, so most of the time they don’t get sick.
