@Cutelivejazz I'm sure you'll think of some more good ones tomorrow
@Cutelivejazz Yeah, i think so too. And they use it for gene editing. So essentially, they're using it to develop solutions now that solve certain genetic conditions, and as you mentioned, to combat cancer. It's still a fair while of solving things, but it's one of the biggest leaps in terms of science i would say of the last half a century.
@Cutelivejazz same. In terms of sleep schedule, i have no sleep schedule 😂
@Cutelivejazz no need to say sorry, it's no problem at all. So long as you can understand whats being put, i don't see why it matters how you do it. If it works for you, go for it. 99% of university students do this btw.
@Cutelivejazz yeah, it's really sad. because when they eventually cure things like cancer and other genetic illness's, it would really be a bittersweet moment, because yes, no-one in future would suffer at the hands of those conditions anymore, but also it comes to late for a lot of people.
@Cutelivejazz that sounds tricky. But at least you've got today and tomorrow to get your schedule back to normal before thursday.
@Cutelivejazz it's little consolation for those that cure's came to late for, but at least no one else will have to suffer loss from those sorts of illness's.
Plus, they are looking at using Crispr to genetically modify mosquito's so they can't carry malaria anymore, or at least the microbe that causes malaria. If they do that, that's 1 million people saved a year.
And for crops, they can use Crispr to make them immune to certain pests (no insecticides needed anymore, the bee's will be happy), more resiliant to droughts, and to have better yields (helping to solve global hunger)
@Cutelivejazz yep, the cordyceps fungus. That stuff scares me too. Like literally zombies, only worse. It doesn't just take over the brain. It only takes over the ant's motor functions, all the while, the ant is still alive and aware i think, as the fungus controls it into going out into the open where it get's eaten by a predator, and the fungus life cycle continues.
@Cutelivejazz i wouldn't worry. The fungus can't actually survive in the human body. it's to hot, the immune system would fight back, and the complexity of the human nervous system is way to complex for the fungus. Ant's are small easy targets, where as humans are way to advanced for it. Also i think, ant's are a part of the fungus's life cycle, humans are not. Plus, we have modern medicine on our side. Humans are safe from it. Anthony the Ant on the other hand, not so much.
@Cutelivejazz the one that scares me the most is mad cow disease if you've ever heard of it.
@Cutelivejazz that sounds rough. Probably gonna sound like a silly question but have you tried those throat soother sweets? I forgot what there called now.
And secondly, please tell me you've tried a David Attenborough impression?
Secondly that's SIR David Attenborough hes a national treasure excuse you! 🤣
@Cutelivejazz I never did history at gcse, I self taught it, and its fair to say, im a master at history now. Especially the world wars and British Empire.
I love history facts more than nearly anything else. Yes please. And as I recall, it was cowpox that was used as the inoculation.
@Cutelivejazz of course, how silly of me. Sir David Attenborough. Did you do a Sir David Attenborough impression 😂
I was watching 55 days at peking earlier, so ive been hearing Sir all day 😂
Btw, it might be worth getting some lemsip for now for your sickness.
Hey, I am so sorry. I really hope you managed to get some rest.
I am here today if you still feel comfortable to share what what keeping you awake.
