The idea of synthetic biology is fascinating to me. To put it simply, you can make living things, and that's pretty cool. Did you know that at the moment, researchers are working on reintroducing the woolly mammoth using elephant surrogates? And supposedly big cats (lions, tigers, cheetahs etc.) are going extinct within the century. Maybe I can help bring them back. Also, I'm going to give myself superpowers in an "accidental" lab accident and then have a Marvel movie made about me. <br> |
