Cloned Embryonic Stem Cells, FIRST (Brainstorm Ep26)

[Kframke]

The first common ancestor was more complex ... I bet creationists will be all over that in a matter of weeks.

[Squiglypig]

@Kframke Not really. It's common knowledge that the very first "living" things contained thousands times more information than we do.

[Kframke]

@Squiglypig Exactly my point. Because creationists' assertion is that genetic drift only happens by life forms losing genetic information, and no new information ever enters the genome.

[Kframke]

I bet the oil-companies will buy the patent for the energy membrane, then burn on a stake.

[DeathsWill228]

Ah, cloned stem cells, a baby step to immortality.

[lacigreen]

great ep & congrats on 6 months of brainstorm!

[braedencowbrough]

You rock qdragon. You are an inspiration to everyone.

Next week can you mention research as in following MSBNC article:

"Genetic mutation may have led to rise of humans - Type of tweaked sugar molecule was possibly linked to malarial resistance"

msnbc.com / id / 44849021 / ns / technology_and_science-science­/

At the end it states: "The researchers reported their findings online Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences".

neat. love this series.

[HistoryIsALie]

I go to University at Buffalo! But for chemistry, not neuroscience.

Qdragon, i still can't belive you do this for free, start collecting revenue for this :P

[qdragon1337]

@mogul50 well i don't do it for money, but people could always buy some Brainstorm merch

[mogul50]

@qdragon1337 I know, but your episodes are so great, and you have a large audience, you COULD make money out of it as well. you deserve it ;)

i think your work deserves a pay :)

[TheSpankymonkey]

@qdragon1337 - I am waiting for the range of Brainstorm dildos. I plan to fuck the guys at the the discovery instute with them. On that note, could you make a range called "the dildos of reason". I think they would be most suited to the task.

[azmanabdula]

damn Qdragon.....

you have done it again!

good video....

[azmanabdula]

this makes me think of "Corporal Jigsore Quandary" by carcass......

"A human Jigsaw to make whole" even though the song isnt quite about cells.....

[1234doawee]

Helllooo

[thereforeithought]

The LUCA tree diagram at the end is interesting.

[JoesephKatana]

I cheer inside every time a better battery is discovered.

[daemonowner]

haven't we already done SCNT?

[ykandy1]

You sound really great on this post dude! Love your post.

[alirezasepehrara]

Interesting... I wonder what that universal organelle can tell about the environment that the last universal common ancestor had lived.

Hi Q
