Were what was different about the protein that had the mammoth version versus the protein team with the elephant he found the mammoth was better at caring oxygen to the body at low temperatures. This is a pretty good target for something to change if we want to take a tropical adapted elephant and turn it into arctic mammoth. Theres a team around the corner that has been working on this question compiled a list of genes that are different between elephants and mammoths. They have attempted to make 14 different swaps. To swap out 14 elephant jeans they have been successful in doing all of it. They have actually created a cell that is about 0. 001 mammoth. Thats pretty cool. Its a far cry from having a living, breathing, and elephant hybrid but it is a step in the right direction. We think hard about plan c, we see see that we have a complete genome sequence. We have the technology that would need to use to edit, swap out these jeans for things that we want to replace them with, what we
Climate change, they are a top predator that is very precisely adapted to their particular habitat. Youre youre right, when that habitat disappears, they dont have any diversity which would allow them to adapt to different habitats that are around. The bears have an interesting strategy dealing with this. We discovered recently. Not only that its happening right now for Climate Change it every time the Climate Changes rapidly in the past, the same things happen. They breed with brown bears. They produce offspring that go live as brown bears. So the jeans and polar bears but polar bears as this discreet thing. This white bear that is precisely adapted to the arctic, it would disappear is engineering traits that would allow them to survive in other environments is not the case because theyll read with brazen live in that of environment but we still not have polar bears. But absolutely. The idea for other species might be you have some that are devoid of diversity in some way, can we incr
Lets get the lawyers out of this. Lets go back to the any act women. A littleknown obscure story and computing. They recruit young women, mostly mostly math majors from small, midwestern colleges bring them all to pennsylvania and decide that they are going to be assigned the task of programming this computer. Why are they simultaneously so obscure and yet plays such an Important Role . Partly because this happened during the war. Originally done to calculate missile trajectories for artillery tables. As the war is ending in 46 they realize that it has to do other things. I wanted to no if this Hydrogen Bomb concept will actually work. And women are the ones who understand how to program it they get written out because the boys with their toys thought that they were in charge, and the day that they unveil eniac finally in 1946 it is valentines day. The New York Times is there all sorts of dignitaries and finally show off this new machine. Jean jennings nick francis and others do the pr
And i will give you the best information nasa has about what is going on with climate and it is not my place to argue about the politics of it. So you know the attack on what a scientist is you know, are we not allowed to be human . Am i not allowed to go on television and say im scared. Its not that im going to tell you what to do but i can tell you my emotional response. It has become very apparent to nasa scientist that delivering more and more data about with god the oceans. I can say the isotopic ratio of the Carbon Dioxide released human activity is doing this and its not the sun because weve been studying the sun very closely for 30 years. So all of these data are not helping in the debate. So instead, we try to drop back into storytellers as people and human beings trying to tell the story. I will wrap up with one quick anecdote. If you ever wonder how much of an entertainment value people get out of this very debate come i appeared on fox and friends this year and steve ducey
