Something destructive is happening in the world of science.
Something that is already changing the pace of research.
A new predictive model of protein structure cuts months of research into just hours.
A whole genome analyzer that can identify single nucleotide variants in just minutes. Gene therapy that rewrites flawed human codes, stem cell therapy that reverses the effects of aging, once untreatable diseases become manageable, and manageable diseases cured.
Our understanding of everything is being destroyed by more and more knowledge.
Better knowledge, better tools, better healthcare, better life.
But unfortunately there’s one thing I haven’t gotten.
There is one thing that cannot be improved.
No matter how hard we try, one fact remains the same.
We know all this, but we want to know more about this week’s science.
Here’s some quick science news.
What to do with CO2?
What progress is being made in combating CO2?

Let’s dive into the past…
What were we talking about this time last year? This time last year, we talked about artificial yeast, satellite viruses, bodies with only heads, robots, humans vs. robots, a space interview with Alan Boyle, the evolution of cats, cat stink, aging and cat poop, science questions, and more. We talked about it.
