Looking into the future


go


Scientist can predict future infections studying something with two parasites in them. When they get together they create a different infection and they can learn from it and if someone gets it later on in the future they can have quick cures or antibodies. Most animals and humans are infected with more than one disease at a time. The diseases can also change when it gets together with another disease.

I think that this can be very important to our future because it can save many lives because we had a longer time to work on this disease or infection. Instead of right away we are given a longer time period instead of working on it instantly when it comes out but i sort of think that to many cures shouldn't be made because balance in the world is very important and it is overpopulating very quickly.

Good or Bad?



Scientist found out that Carbon Monoxide can also help the body and even save lives instead of killing or harming it. Taking too much would kill you but if you take a small dose of it. It can help people who needs it a lot. It can increase blood flow, stop clots, reduce inflammation, and suppress the activities of cells. Scientist can not find out how much would be enough for a person because everyone has different limitations but scientist are going to use this to cure patients.

Adelges tsugae killing the Eastern Hemlock

The Adelges Tsugae a non bug native is sucking the life out of the Eastern Hemlocks trees. Scientist are finding a way to stop the Eastern Hemlock from becoming extinct. So far the solution they came up with is retrieving a Japanese beetle that feeds on the Adelges Tsugae. This japanese beetle does not have a scientific name yet. They only thrive on one source of food. They are wondering what would happen if they put too many of them in the forest. Scientist went to Japan and retrieved 300 japanese beatles and many larvaes.
