Felisa Wolfe-Simon tells about her arsenic micro organism research

[tuffythetiger]

They are here and will migrate all through the earth.and no poison can kill them.Get ready for an invasion of new creatures., that is what they are telling us.

[godzillafarts]

There is a newer form of gaseous life from Uranus called hydrogen sulfide beasts. 

[MrNance91]

thats proof of evolution,life will find a way to evolve.

[Quicksilvers888]

2:19 how can the duck swim in this Arsenic lake without dying. Much like the microbacteria they found. the duck adopted to the environment. If the bacteria started as a simple bacteria in this lake many billions of years ago, it will be more simpler for them to change their DNA to adopt instead of a completely complex biosystem just like the life we know today. We are just starting to understand life.

Listen for the page to turn at 1:40 ... She pauses ... the next page is up ... and she begins to speak again. Really? A true scientist would not have to read from Que cards.

[ArsenTruth]

This research has been discredited. The scientific community is united in declaring that none of the data presented support the conclusions.  The two researchers are now perpetrating a deception.

[geothirtyfive]

Someone once said that if you put a million monkeys at a million keyboards for a million years, purely by accident one of them would probably pound out one of the works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the internet, we know this isn't true. Most of the comments I've read here are just more honk-honk-tweet-tweet from the angry idiots that lurk on the boards. You poor schlubs couldn't tell the difference between a winogradsky column and a bottle of Bud. And yes, this chick redefines 'sexy.'

[siggem]

Fail!!

[adarryladams]

DutchNordic - exactly

[DutchNordic]

She sounds and acts like a classic attention whore.

[robert7f]

Wow, wow, wow - hold your horses you over-opinionated bunch! True, the P -> As substitution has not been proven beyond reasonable doubt, but neither it has been *disproved*! Be patient, wait for more detailed and iron-clad results, and then talk about "NASA giving her (or not) a boot".

[angela1894]

NASA was really dishonest in announcing these results. What were they thinking ? And Dr. Simon also sounds like a snake-oil salesman here.

[WindySum]

OWNED!!!

[TheOpinionater]

NASA better give her the boot!

[TheOpinionater]

I'm sure her co-workers, thinks she's really f**king annoying.

[Century25]

She seems to be another 'spoiler' that has been cultivated with the intent of confusing the young minds coming up through school today. Religion NEVER gives up it's war against science.

There are many more efforts at loose.. 'dumbing-down' the populace. Our once great science programs - like going to the moon.. all shoved 'out of sight, out of mind'.. i cannot believe how far our country has fallen. It didn't all 'just happen' - as a normal course of events. It has been deliberate

[deewoken1]

propa-fucking-ganda

[feynmanizma]

the way she talks just disturbs me

[zlutaopoce]

@feynmanizma yes, she is a little affected and exhibicionist

[WindySum]

@feynmanizma

Here! Here!

[zlutaopoce]

cute, natural, curly scientist!

take off your clothes! (only for control of arsenic on your skin). ;o)

[nonameplayer]

shot is hot and inteligent



[PAIRANORMALGUYSINC]

SUPERB POST

[q1000101]

I love this girl. You are my new hero, Felisa!

[falvarez4]

Get on TED and then i'll pay her more attention...

JK

Cool stuff

[marsh84722]

wouldn't mind getting inside her :P

[stoyanfourn]

It is interesting how she says "flurish".

[allreligionskill]

You redefine sexy!

[frzstat]

On the Evening News tonight, Iron Lisa's report on Arsenic based microorganisms was followed by the Weeki Wachee Mermaids swimming with the sea life in the Georgia Aquarium. Kinda ironic huh? She would be a cute mermaid!

You haven't seen it at all.

All known life on earth is, no was,built of 6 elements.

arsenic is not one of them so it represents 17%.

Thats significant. Besides, it raises the question what other "basic" elements can be replaced, given a specific environment

[bammbamm12]

So arsenic was substitutable for phosphorus in some type of dna compound. I think this represents less than 1% of the elements in the human body. So this all means what? Extraterrestrial life? Just another plea from NASA not to shut them down. This has nothing to do with outer space whatsoever. Next thing you know they'll be saying that an astronaut had a dirty thought and that means the devil is not just confined to earth.

[hiphopveins1987]

im curious where this can possibly lead to now? A completely new organism ,its amazing but its still pretty unclear of the hell this can turn out to be in the end..anyone know when there gonna announce anything else ?holla at me with a link.

[Ciela09]

@hiphopveins1987 Isolation in a weird environment.

[tdc310]

She was right...
