Animals make for terrible technology. The technological use of animals - making food, drugs, clothing, and cosmetics out of animal material - will cease. After Meat explains the fundamental limits of animal technology in terms of physics and biology. Replacement technology such as microbial fermentation will surpass those limits. Eventually, we’ll have food that is better in every way - in terms of taste, cost, nutrition, resource consumption, and ethics - because we won't use animals to produce it.

Toxic Algae is an epidemic threatening natural waterways locally, and globally. Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) are an explosive growth of photosynthetic organisms in a body of water which can harm amphibians, fish, wildlife, pets, and human health by producing dangerous toxins.

Would you like to improve your health and feel better naturally? You can with the help of hemp oil and CBD! This audiobook will show you how you can improve your overall health with CBD (cannabidiol) and hemp oil and their positive effects.

While traditional drugs mostly help us manage the effects of disease, cell therapies promise genuine cures for a broad range of intractable ailments, from Alzheimer’s to heart damage to cancer. They could even reverse the effects of aging. For the first time in history, on an unprecedented scale, we possess the power to modify the biology that gives rise to disease, ultimately restoring individuals to a state of normalcy and reversing debilitating ailments. Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb traces the scientific achievements that propelled progress in cell therapies.

Will the rise of machines result in our becoming slaves? What is the human consciousness? Science fiction fans whose typical Hollywood diet of future killer robots may not have considered the very real possibility that, when quantum computing gives rise to artificial intelligence, its rate of technological advancement will not only become exponential, but it will apprehend quickly (and scarily to us) who we are, and who IT is, especially if this A.I. has instant access to all human knowledge.

New advances in medical science and the unraveling of the human genome are providing us great insights to the aging process. We can now significantly increase our healthy longevity and live long enough to take advantage of the even newer technologies being developed. The overall deterioration of the body that comes with growing old is not inevitable. Aging is a treatable disease. So if you want to increase your chances of living a long and healthy life, maybe even becoming immortal, you need to learn what you can do today.

La materia è intelligente. Solitamente pensiamo i materiali che ci circondano come semplici strumenti, passivi e incapaci di interagire con l’ambiente in modo complesso, ma a ben guardare non è affatto così. Numerosi materiali sono in grado di adattarsi agli stimoli che ricevono, di assemblarsi e ripararsi in autonomia e, in alcuni casi, di conservare una memoria del proprio passato.

Experience the Exciting World of Health and Biotechnology in the Third Volume of "Discover Together: Storytelling for the Whole Family." Discover the most recent developments in the field of medicine, including the microbiome's critical role in human health and the revolutionary possibilities of artificial organs. A PhD in Chemical Engineering wrote this book, which is great for families since it simplifies complicated scientific findings into interesting stories.

Cutting-edge studies in neuroscience have in recent years proved what many doctors, therapists, and other health professionals had long suspected: Simple, repetitive tasks, performed with focus and attention - mindfulness - can not only quieten our noisy thought processes and help us relax but also improve our outlook on life and protect us against life-threatening illnesses. A cognitive neuroscientist and a leading authority on mental performance, Stan Rodski sets out the science behind these remarkable discoveries in simple terms and explains how you in turn can benefit from them.

This short book focuses on reasons why human cryopreservation and cryonics is ultimately desirable. This is done by examining specific reasons why utilizing cryonics may be beneficial, and also by examining potential objections to utilizing cryonics and why these are ultimately likely unfounded. Whether or not to try and utilize cryopreservation is ultimately a personal choice and this book attempts to help provide a way of making a more informed personal decision.

Siamo nel 2083. Anna ha 110 anni, è ancora in gamba, ma inciampa in un tappeto e cade rompendosi il femore; resta distesa ad aspettare e nel giro di una decina di minuti potrà rialzarsi in piedi poiché il femore si è auto-riparato. Come è potuto accadere? Dall'anno 2070 gli ultracentenari assumono nano-particelle autoadesive che vanno a rimpiazzare una parte dei costituenti delle ossa.

Life on earth is facing unprecedented challenges from global warming, war, and mass extinctions. The plight of seeds is a less visible but no less fundamental threat to our survival. Seeds are at the heart of the planet's life-support systems. Their power to regenerate and adapt are essential to maintaining our food supply and our ability to cope with a changing climate. Environmental journalist Claire Hope Cummings exposes the stories behind the rise of industrial agriculture and plant biotechnology, the fall of public interest science, and the folly of patenting seeds.

Contemporary Issues: Science, Africa, and More attends to very sensitive and contemporary issues pertaining to biotechnology such as human cloning and genetic engineering. It also comprises such areas as affirmative action, one's right to abortion, one's right to sexual choice(s), questions relating to whether Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a hero or not, and other similar but controversial issues. In addition, there are topics included in Contemporary Issues relating to matters of ethnicity, culture, and development, in particular as they impact Africa.

Longevity: the ambition of kings, super villains, and pretty much all of us who enjoy waking up each morning. It's also become a focus for biotechnology companies interested in making a big impact on healthcare. According to Professor Jill Helms, questions of this magnitude require moonshot thinking and some extreme team science. In this lecture, she will explain how her Stanford group is working to better understand why we age and translating that knowledge into strategies that slow this natural process.

Our health care system is crippled by desperate efforts to prevent the inevitable. A third of the national Medicare budget - nearly $175 billion - is spent on the final year of life, and a third of that amount on the final month, often on expensive (and futile) treatments. Such efforts betray a fundamental flaw in how we think about healthcare: we squander resources on hopeless situations, instead of using them to actually improve health.

Die vielfach ausgezeichnete Biochemikerin Renée Schroeder über den Menschheitstraum als Motor der Wissenschaft. Wissen Sie, was ein Xenobot ist? Es ist der erste lebende Roboter, hergestellt aus embryonalen Stammzellen eines Frosches. Diese Frosch-Roboter sind nur eines der vielen, bis vor kurzem ungeahnten Ergebnisse der biotechnologischen Forschung. Die Entwicklung ist rasant, etwa in der Gentechnologie, in der Bioinformatik, oder in der synthetischen Biologie, ein junges Forschungsgebiet, das programmierbare Organismen mit neuen Eigenschaften schaffen will.

Scientific discoveries in the field of genomics just began about 50 years ago. These breakthroughs answered many questions about how we are built and live. The discoveries also proved the power and importance of the tiny chromosome.
