Why Would a Scientist Inject Himself with 3.5 Million Year Old Bacteria? https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2019/05/why-would-a-scientist-inject-himself-with-3-5-million-year-old-bacteria Sun, 26 May 2019 21:42:41 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2019/05/why-would-a-scientist-inject-himself-with-3-5-million-year-old-bacteria

What was this scientist thinking when he injected himself with a 3.5 million years old bacteria from Siberian mountains? What happened to him afterwards? Is he doing ok now, or was this science experiment gone wrong? Let’s find out in today’s episode:

How Can Galaxies Travel Faster Than Light? https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2018/12/how-can-galaxies-travel-faster-than-light Sun, 30 Dec 2018 16:22:41 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2018/12/how-can-galaxies-travel-faster-than-light

Probably my biggest regret when I made the Hubble Deep Field in 3D video is saying the phrase “these galaxies are racing away from us, in some cases faster than light”.

I had originally thought I was being clever and the comment would spur discussion. instead there was no discussion, only name calling and I mightily regretted putting it in there.

Anyway, this video was a long time coming, I had been meaning to make this for some time to illustrate what I was talking about.

Reverse Brain Death with Stem Cells https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2018/12/reverse-brain-death-with-stem-cells Tue, 04 Dec 2018 17:02:22 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2018/12/reverse-brain-death-with-stem-cells

Who isn’t interested in new ways to apply stem cell therapy these days?

Speaking of, have you heard about the scientists in Philadelphia, PA, who have been injecting stem cells directly into the spinal cords of medically brain-dead people in order to revive them?

In a page taken from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the idea of “bringing people back from the dead” is a little too much like “playing God” for some critics to appreciate.

International Space Station infested with mysterious space bugs leaving astronauts at risk of ‘serious harm’ https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2018/11/international-space-station-infested-with-mysterious-space-bugs-leaving-astronauts-at-risk-of-serious-harm Fri, 23 Nov 2018 22:02:25 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2018/11/international-space-station-infested-with-mysterious-space-bugs-leaving-astronauts-at-risk-of-serious-harm

THE International Space Station is infested with mysterious space bugs that may be leaving astronauts at risk of ‘serious harm’, according to a new study.

Scientists discovered a thriving ecosystem of “infectious organisms” aboard the station which are similar to bugs found in hospitals on Earth.

A NASA team found five different varieties of Enterobacter, with researchers calculating that there is a “79% probability that they may potentially cause disease”.

Harnessing artificial intelligence for sustainability goals https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2018/11/harnessing-artificial-intelligence-for-sustainability-goals Thu, 15 Nov 2018 03:53:44 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2018/11/harnessing-artificial-intelligence-for-sustainability-goals

As ESA’s ɸ-week continues to provoke and inspire participants on new ways of using Earth observation for monitoring our world to benefit the citizens of today and of the future, it is clear that artificial intelligence is set to play an important role.

Taking place at ESA’s centre of Earth observation in Frascati, Italy, on 12–16 November, ɸ-week has drawn hundreds of people from numerous disciplines to explore innovation, new technologies and cross disciplinary cooperation – to see how satellite data coupled with new technologies such as artificial intelligence can bring benefits to science, business, the economy and society at large.

One might initially associate artificial intelligence and machine learning with robots and science fiction. However, it is, without question, seeping into our everyday lives through, for example, digital advertising, speech recognition tools and innovations such as Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa.
