Life arose on Earth very early on. After a few billion years, here we are: intelligent and technologically advanced. Where’s everyone else?
It’s the “duck curve” problem. Solar power is providing huge amounts of energy during the day, creating a headache for grid operators.
Thsi is a year old. But at 27 minutes David gets asked a couple fo “when” questions.
Dr. David Sinclair presents the progress of epigenetic reprogramming and rejuvenation in this video. He’s also answering questions on when he thinks the rejuvenation therapy be available in the Q\&A session at the end of the presentation.

David Sinclair is a professor in the Department of Genetics and co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School, where he and his colleagues study sirtuins—protein-modifying enzymes that respond to changing NAD+ levels and to caloric restriction—as well as chromatin, energy metabolism, mitochondria, learning and memory, neurodegeneration, cancer, and cellular reprogramming.
Dr David Sinclair has suggested that aging is a disease—and that we may soon have the tools to put it into remission—and he has called for greater international attention to the social, economic and political and benefits of a world in which billions of people can live much longer and much healthier lives.
Years ago, a man paralyzed in a surfing accident was able to walk again after undergoing a revolutionary stem cell treatment. Now, he says that his mobility has only continued to improve! Chris Barr was one out of only 10 people to undergo this experimental treatment in a study by the Mayo Clinic. It’s safe to say that the procedure was a success for this patient!
“I never dreamed I would have a recovery like this,” Chris said, according to Good Morning America.
Before receiving care, Chris was paralyzed from the neck down, making it unlikely that he would ever walk again. However, a new stem cell treatment from the Mayo Clinic offered hope. He would be the first to try it, with incredible results.

About the video: Will robots replace us? Apptronik, creator of the general purpose robot Apollo, has crafted a product that would only take the undesirable tasks away from humans.

Forget everything that sci-fi movies told you about robots. Introducing: Adaptable, general purpose robots who can work side-by-side with us on almost any task and in any environment. In other words, friend, not foe.
Named Apollo, this mobile robot is being built by Apptronik to capably complete thousands of tasks, and step into emergency situations that may be too dangerous for humans.
So while robots likely won’t be replacing you, Apollo has been crafted to help make your life easier, and give you more time to focus on what’s really important.
Recycling energy-transition metals from battery, electric vehicles and renewable energy products offers abundant growth potential.
It has been known for centuries that light exhibits wave-like behavior in certain situations. Some materials are able to rotate the polarization, i.e. the direction of oscillation, of the light wave when the light passes through the material. This property is utilized in a central component of optical communication networks known as an “optical isolator” or “optical diode.” This component allows light to propagate in one direction but blocks all light in the other direction.
Human history was forever changed with the discovery of antibiotics in 1928. Infectious diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis and sepsis were widespread and lethal until penicillin made them treatable.
Surgical procedures that once came with a high risk of infection became safer and more routine. Antibiotics marked a triumphant moment in science that transformed medical practice and saved countless lives.
But antibiotics have an inherent caveat: When overused, bacteria can evolve resistance to these drugs. The World Health Organization estimated that these superbugs caused 1.27 million deaths around the world in 2019 and will likely become an increasing threat to global public health in the coming years.

The constant ebb and flow of hormones that guide the menstrual cycle don’t just affect reproductive anatomy. They also reshape the brain, and a study has given us insight into how this happens.
Led by neuroscientists Elizabeth Rizor and Viktoriya Babenko of the University of California Santa Barbara, a team of researchers tracked 30 women who menstruate over their cycles, documenting in detail the structural changes that take place in the brain as hormonal profiles fluctuate.
The results, which are yet to be peer-reviewed but can be found on preprint server bioRxiv, suggest that structural changes in the brain during menstruation may not be limited to those regions associated with the menstrual cycle.
