Watch Out Blade Runner, Because: !Shot Heard ’Round The World! -Salk Institute Team Reverses Aging

The Fountain Of Youth:
Since the time of the alchemists, the ancient Egyptians, and the epic of Gilgamesh, one of our main goals was to transcend the impermanence of existence.

And in that time, people have tried all kinds of nutty concoctions & medieval procedures to try. (leeches do kinda work, btw)

More recently, the advent of stem-cell science has been joined by another major discovery: the “rewritable” part of our DNA script.

Well, a Salk Institute team combined them with a Nobel-Prize-winning discovery to give Father Time a swift kick in the butt. -Or at least one that lasts a few decades…

New Apple Watch? PSHAW! Futuristic Researchers Put The Electronics Right On Your Skin!

The Future Is Personal, Pervasive, & Transparent:
So every once in awhile, we get a new piece of gadget-technology like a new iPhone or AppleWatch that moves things forward.

But they’re still just boxy-widgets that you have to lug around with you.

You can’t even use an Apple Watch without a phone, and it can’t make or receive calls by itself.

So they’re not even that independent. -Until now…

Crowdfunded Social Bullying FTW! ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Proves The Power Of YOU!

Fast Progress In The Research World:
So just a few short years ago, civilians and celebrities all around the country rejoiced in good-natured bullying of their friends & colleagues.

And even though the premise was: either dump the bucket of ice water over your head or donate, many people went the torture-route anyway. -You know, for “fun”?

Despite this, that challenge raised $115 million dollars to fight the disease.

And then something amazing happened with a very small percentage of that money.

-The power of You did more than just fund something…

Video: Man Vs. Nature, Reloaded. -FIGHT!! German Nuts Explain The Coming Antibiotic Apocalypse, In A Nutshell


A Famous Man Once Said, “We Create Our Own Demons”:
In this video, Kurzgesagt, or “In-A-Nutshell” talks about the future of antibiotics and a few of the problems that are already beginning.

In a very Matrix-y reversal of what’s going on into an idea, they say it this way: Most of Humanity right now is collaborating on the engineering of a Superbug.

And if we don’t change in several ways, the consequences of our actions will let Nature’s worst machines win…

Robo-Testing, Big Data Analytics, Drug-SPLOSION! Boutique Genome-Powered Meds Are On The Way

Cheap Tech = Future Cures:
Ok, so what do you get when you add entrepreneurial prospecting, big data, big analytics, high-speed robo-testing and gene-sequencing?

So earlier, we told you that for the Jet-Lag drug, UCSD used a robotic tester on 120,000 possible switches to find only 3 keys.

And before that, 23&Me had used its pattern-sniffers to come up with 15 indicators out of 14 Million to find night owls & early-birds.

Well, 23&Me will be at that game again soon to create the very future of medicine…

Look Out Schwarzenegger, China’s Making Superdogs!

-And one day, maybe Super-You. Or your super-grandkids.

So a short while ago, Chinese researchers pulled-off some of the first gene-modifications with that new technique from “BREAKTHROUGH”.

What they did with it is to create a new generation of dogs with a very uncommon trait: Super Muscles.

What it could mean for us one day is another set of radical changes; maybe whether we like it or not…

Science Moves 1 Step Closer To A Surgery-Free Future. This Time: Eye Drops That Fix Cataracts

Though this discovery was originally aimed at the developing world, it might just turn around & George Jetson the hell out of a tricky surgical procedure.

What happens with a cataract is that some of the proteins in the lens go a bit wacky over time.

And these changes make them stop working the way they’re supposed to.

Since the standard fix is a bit iffy to have done in low-tech facilities, the researchers thought, “What if we could take that operation and put it in a bottle?”…
