I WANNA LIVE FOREVER

Fingers crossed for July....

Cajal's beautiful illustrations I think are a big part of it.

Could be a repeat of 1962, where Rosalind Franklin didn't get a piece of the cake...

@@Biomeducated Who gets the Nobel is rarely surprising, but who doesn't get it often is.

Yes, please help this person learn language.

Ol·mec/ˈälˌmek,ˈōl-/noun noun: Olmec; plural noun: Olmec; plural noun: Olmecs1. a member of a prehistoric people inhabiting the coast of Veracruz and western Tabasco on the Gulf of Mexico ( c. 1200-400 BC), who established what was probably the first Meso-American civilization. But to call a group of sciences "the omics" when it doesn't include all the "-omics," like say "econ-" and "gastron-" is just pointless. You can only use the term in a group of people who already know which things you're talking about.

I though that they were robots

make a power point presentation? but seriously what a cool thing to study, good luck with that!

@@XlxscionxlX that's actually a good idea! thank you so much! but sometimes i do think that they might be right and if i study medicine first and THEN got into biotech, it might be a better investment for the future.

Maybe tell them about what the field is about, maybe they don't really know. You could explain that in the 21st century, biotech is a quickly developing field which will probably be prosperous for a long time. Maybe you can look for the average salary of workers in biotech companies (i bet they are really good salaries), or tell them about some new technology the field has invented. PS: I hope it all works out! Biotech is an awesome field to study :)

Just say they're crazy... Biotech is the future! New start-up companies are popping up like crazy around the university hubs where I live (Belgium)!

Biotech is a hugely growing field (just took an Biotech exam today:)), and if you work on nanoparticles or drug delivery systems, there is a lot of money involved in research of novel treatments as well :D you can research yourself more and inform your parents about these.

lol odd

We, as any other form of life, humans don't want evolution to happen, therefore an evolitionary cul-de-sac is a good idea.

LOLZ nice

That requires so many genes it's probably not feasible in our lifetime. The more complex a trait (a wing!) the more edits you need - and each of those individual edits carries a risk 😫

@@jacobwoodbury6073 Blah, Blah, Blah. WHERE ARE MY WINGS!

@@Waltham1892 If you want to fly youll need a lot more than wings. There s nothing on this planet that weighs 80 kg and flies on its own. Pterodactyls were very heavy compared to humans but light for their size. Wings wont get you anywhere. Your entire body would have to be changed. The wings would have to be pterodactyl sized, accompanied by muscles like those of the Hulk and your respiratory and circulatory systems changed to feed such wings. You d be better off with a jet pack. Me, I want a limitless style drug and to stay 25 for 500 years.

@@RoScFan never tell me the odds!

Thomas Turner yeah, but no toilets or sandwiches

Good one! ;)

Is it a book or a talk? Cant find it anywhere

It's a game. Got it.

The existence of an individual human being or animal so it is a life. Today, doctors and nurses use handheld devices to record patients' real-time data and instantly update their medical history. This makes more accurate and more efficient diagnoses and treatments. Centralization of critical patient data and lab results has really improved the quality of healthcare. as well as Medicine had always relied on technology such as scalpels, probes and materia medica. However, by the start of the 20th century new instruments were available to study, diagnose and treat the body. Today, hospitals worldwide use complex, computerised machines to image the body or assist its function.

CRISPR is not free or one hundred percent perfect. But this is the most efficient way to edit genes right now, and it can revolutionize medicine and agriculture. Who "invented" CRISPR? Our little buddies, bacteria! And archaea, the strange uncle of bacteria. Many germs use CRISPR to maintain a list of viruses that can kill them by putting bad DNA between repeat palindromes. This is similar to the police catalog of previous arrests: when a virus enters a microbe cell, if recognized, CRISPR-associated protein cuts the virus. And the system is a good editor: she reads for specific DNA sequences and only cuts them. ThoughtBubble, show us more: Spanish microbiologist Francisco Mojica first published this system in 1993. But then he saw a group of repeating segments of DNA with a strange different DNA between them. He did not know what this meant, and that was not the main news. But Mojica did not give up. In 2003, after a long decade of clever bio-information work, Mojica realized that CRISPR should be an adaptive immune system, a way to protect germs from viruses. But CRISPR alone did not help people. In fact, when Mojica presented his discovery to the scientific journal Nature, they rejected It! CRISPR was supposed to be turned into a tool. There were many steps and scientists. Firstly, scientists had to go beyond the search for palindromic repeats in different microbes. to understand how the whole system works: what cutting protein said, where to cut? How can I reprogram the system? Swiss microbiologist Emmanuel Charpentier and German microbiologist Jörg Vogel found that a special piece of nucleic acid, called the RNA guide, tells Cas9 Protein to cut DNA in the right place. Other scientists have developed how to transfer the whole system, which has evolved in microbes, into the cells of mice and humans, a whole system of genes tracing RNA and proteins. In 2011, Charpentier met American structural biologist Jennifer Dudna, and they decided to collaborate in the study of synthetic CRISPR systems outside of microbes. Meanwhile, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Sino-American molecular biologist Feng Zhang and synthetic biologist George Church have worked on introducing CRISPR systems into mammalian cells. For example, Zhang created murine models of human diseases using CRISPR. In less than ten years, CRISPR has evolved from a cold immune system for germs to a hot new tool in biology. Thanks, ThoughtBubble. After turning CRISPR from a microbiological trick into an instrument of future biology, Dudna and Charpentier filed patents through their universities to work with their companies ... as did Zhang and Church for their companies. These biologists are academics, but they are also entrepreneurs. So why is CRISPR such a big deal? Instead of partial steps, each of which can lead to failure, CRISPR allows you to be fully programmed right away. This is not super simple, but simpler than before. Suggested applications include precision medicine, as well as a new green revolution: imagine that the main crops have been edited to put their own nitrogen in the ground. Or exhale less water, requiring less watering. Or for more efficient photosynthesis. Or make more nutrients that people want.

I found this very interesting episode because it show how scientist are still trying to invent new technologies or medicine that can make the life of human or animals longer. Scientist are discovering medicine to treat the disease that can cause harm to our body. But this episode shows the what ifs of the scientist that might come true, like what if they could make a drug that can directly heal or help the specific part of our brain or body. Right now physicians are using new technologies that can help the patient to make their life even longer. And some are still trying to discover or invent a technology that can make our life longer, I'm excited to witness that machine or technology that they could invent.

Invest on a promise. Science now is really a big business :( . I am happy for the freedom given to Scientists today that were taken away from the majority of the great scientists before. However, the price for this freedom is expensive. Scientists now must make something that is not only useful but also profitable or even more profitable than being useful. Honestly, will the way we perceived science create a social division again? It is nice how we formulate ways on how we can cure diseases but its off-target effects and how this will be given to people unequally, that is so not nice. We are not science-oriented, we are business-oriented. So let us clarify it; we are not after the honor science could give us, we are after the riches it could buy us.

The study of longevity genes is a developing science. It is estimated that about 25 percent of the variation in human life span is determined by genetics, but which genes, and how they contribute to longevity, are not well understood. A few of the common variations (called polymorphisms) associated with long life spans are found in the APOE, FOXO3, and CETP genes, but they are not found in all individuals with exceptional longevity. It is likely that variants in multiple genes, some of which are unidentified, act together to contribute to a long life. One study, published in the journal Circulation last year, even argued that adhering to just five healthy habits could extend your lifespan by roughly a decade. Here’s what they are, and what research to date says about living your longest life: 1.Eating a healthy diet 2.Exercising regularly 3.Maintaining a healthy body weight 4.Drinking only in moderation 5.Not smoking

By "Theology", did you mean "Religious Study" ? Because those are 2 different things

Crash course theology - ancient people with schizophrenia tell people shellfish and bacon are bad and Greek gods fart lightning from the clouds and mt Olympus

Theology doesn't relate to Greek Mythology. It usually related Judeo-Christian Philosophy

@@joeivanaquino7184 So, you did mean "Theology", and not "Religious Study"

Or Greene, but I know it's not Grinn

@@glennmatthews758 but you don't know yt let's you edit your comments...?

Did they have long lives?

William Fellows not really

Luck and education

I that need an molecular green body and in old my gene too!

@@magnuspeacock5857 exacly we need a nation as big as island for who are biohacker and who want use crispr on their next gen make stick together for not make their gene escape to countinent Than start research for create advance civilization by crispr and other tech

@@sahinyasar9119 all your base pairs are belong to us

@@ohtheblah Well. I think im okay with that because everything for humankind of future

Sorry but no bud

And humanity, as we know it, will be extinct, as no copies of the human genome will exist anymore...

Well said. This goes for a lot crash course videos.
