DNA and proteins are basically nano bots. If and when we get to a point where we have full control, we will simply grow a super computer from a single cell. Why build a house when you could just plant one? Need a new body? You don’t need fancy computer tech to transfer consciousness. You just need an organism to connect two brains and copy neural pathways. You grow your new body attach the organism that copies the pathways and walla, you are 25 again. All this would be easy with full control of dna.

The documentary on HBOmax was pretty good.

One part, they talk about how the engineers had to fiddle with the inner bits of the machine while it was running and risk getting stabbed by the needles inside the machine that were splattered with client blood samples.

Blood is basically an organ in and of itself.
Liquid biopsies and circulating tumor cell analysis isn’t a novel technology. The problem is that blood is just one of many places metastases may go, so it tends to be less informative than hoped.

Plain language summary:

A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Washington has found that the climate crisis is leading to an increase in human-wildlife conflicts. This is due to changes in temperature and rainfall that make food, water and healthy habitats harder to come by, forcing animals and humans into new territories. As a result, humans and wildlife are increasingly coming into contact with one another, leading to injury or death for both humans and animals, as well as property damage and loss of livelihoods for humans.
