This seems like the seed for a dystopian cyborg future.

You don’t have to take one from a human?

Science just confirming long held beliefs about cougar naval and air force dominance

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.

Well ya. Just like you'd never guess that Orcas are natural predators of Moose.

Has nothing to do with humans building more and farther. It's climate change, not sprawling cities

And what will be the ethical conversation when these "organoids" realize they were grown from human tissue, making them part human.

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.

Wait.. take bear's house and food and then be surprised it comes to your house?
Insane.

Huh, I did my master's dissertation a long time ago on a theoretical analysis of spin-orbit coupling in perovskites. I was quite lazy and didn't do a very good job, but this is quite interesting, not often I hear the term these days :)

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.

Yes but this a university/public stuff, not a private company business.

They almost never attack at all and when they do it’s children.

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.
