Good bit of news then. More this week in science type bits, though it's a bit weird on timing due to recent events, but no matter. It's still brilliant!
A decapitated planarian worm has been discovered that it can regrow its entire head, including its own memories! Isn't that brilliant? Could lead to a break through in solving memory issues. Wouldn't that be nice really, to be able to just... 'come back'? Perhaps a bit different, but keep all those memories?
And the first artificial heart was declared ready for human trials, and the scientists watched the largest known star's birth in the Milky Way! Fantastic really.
Oh and gene therapy was used to cure two rare diseases... which means gene therapy could quite truly be the next miracle treatment.
Also, not science but history, today marks Disneyland's 58th birthday, as it opened on July 17th in 1955. Big day for this area I suppose...
What's more, I just got my new toothbrush from ancient Babylon. Made from bristling the ends of a twig; also, Ancient Egyptian toothpaste. Made from Ox Hooves' ashes and burnt eggshells!
