very well explained! instant subscribe.

Thanks for this great summary of our paper!

I'm wondering, if we can make some kind of organic polymer, with a backbone, holding some kind of base capable of making H-bonds with the major groove of DNA base pair in one side of the alpha carbom, and some organic groups akin to those used in organic electronics in another, such that for different base-pair, these organo-electronic group will conduct slightly different voltage. In such a case, we can actually retirve information from DNA regularly. We might be able to address each base-pair just like each memory cell is addressed in RAM. The long polymer wrapped around DNA might slow down DNA degradation even further.

Your videos are awesome and definitely have a lot of potential! You've got the voice and enthusiasm for it! If you want to get more mainstream, I'd suggest adding visuals throughout (people love pictures), and cutting out any awkward bits. Pauses between sentences, etc... Watch any other engineering/science youtuber and notice how many splits there are throughout the video. Anyways, good work! You've earned yourself a subscriber!

0:43 a nucleotide pair encodes 1 of 4 states so it's actually log2(4) = 2 bits of information

Deoxyribonucleic acid for the deoxyribonucleic acid god! Also, I love that they used DNA as data storage for Apollo in Horizon Zero Dawn.

man. ive theorized this existed. its nice to see proof.

Your cadence and where you put emphasis reminds me of The History Guy. Absolutely love his channel and will be subscribing to yours. Thanks for the video/information! : -P

Your cadence/speaking is good although the microphone/audio isn't the greatest. Might want to invest in a good microphone

does it block cosmic rays?

The tech to grow artificial meat from real animal cells probably will eventually allow us to grow real leather in the lab

I'd always wondered if the reason nobody could decipher cetacean languages is because they experience linguistic drift at a rate we would find unsalvageable

I’ve never seen your videos before, but you’re very expressive and beautiful. I would 😏

This is a channel I can recommend to the young grade school science nerds.

I wonder what would happen if we ran a dataset of sperm whale conversations through a transformer (the architecture behind chatgpt). Surprisingly they can be trained without knowing the meaning of the words and even if would be inefficient, just phonemes should also work. The end result wouldn't be a translator but a chatgpt for whales, we wouldn't know what it is saying but it could be a step towards that. If it worked we could try another experiment that is a much longer shot, training another one but forcing it to shoehorn whale speak into the same embeddings as human speech and looking for similar clusters or even straight training one system to do both and hoping that it somehow learns to translate (for that to work, whale speech would need to be conceptually similar to human speech).

Man i love your channel how did u know i was thinking about lion fish more than normal

Raised with a great deal of exposure to Native American culture, I have always believed that if we were so smart, we should be able to learn their languages WAY easier than we can teach them ours. I currently speak a bit of cat and dog. I have found that most living creatures (average humans excepted) are naturally capable of understanding the languages of compassion and cruelty. Interspecies communication has already been demonstrated in the wild between dolphins and gray whales, leaving me to agree with the dolphin assessment of relative human intelligence. I refuse to keep pets (as they in my lowly opinion are just a form of slavery). I do however have animal friends. Just 3 days ago I had a rescue cat walk into my apartment desperately seeking SOMEthing. Now... given an open door, she usually opts for inside rather than out. From some of her behaviors I suspect that life before might not have been so great for her. The creature sitting on my desk having a lovely, peaceful look out the window seems a far cry from the howling ghost scouring the neighborhood for about a week before we actually met. How did we meet? For several days I heard a pitiful cry moving quickly around the neighborhood (late in the evenings). At first I thought... horny cat on the prowl. But that didn't sound quite right, so I answered back. I guess she didn't hear me the 1st few tries. Then Fri. morn (after a few nights of this) I hear that voice again,. and it sounds like it's coming from my front door...I expected to see a flash streak away when I opened the door... nothing... but I gave my cat greeting, and suddenly there in from of me yowling away like a madcat was this tan-white pathetic creature, looking for attention from... anyone. I let her inside. Howling the whole time, going from room to room, she seemed most desperate when she got to the bathtub, and started swiping at the tap, so I turned the water on a bit. Yup. so I filled up a cup and held and petted her while she drank her fill. OK.. Hungry too? All I have is bit of Chicken?... no Bacon?.... no hmmm.. can of tuna? GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE. For my part, I am more than happy to sacrifice some of my modest means to ensure that this small miracle has all the shelter, sustenance, love, and respect I can provide. She is my friend, and together for now, we will walk down the road of life. If she should decide some day to move on, she is free to do so of her own volition. Strange, that until that moment, I hadn't realized just how lonely I had become myself in the last few years (elderly, retired, and broken). "My shoes are too tight... and I have forgotten how to dance." - Londo Molari, Baylon 5 Time to remember to dance! 🤟😁👍 P.S. Now that she is starting to groom again, most of the tan has gone away leaving a snow white kitten underneath. She is starting to establish patrol routes and training me in my expected duties😉 She also still seems to prefer drinking from the running faucet than a dish. One of those odd behaviors I was telling you about.

12:38 as somebody fluent in that particular sperm whale dialect: You called me WHAT??? :P

If you like the idea of animal languages, I heartily recommend Ursula K. Le Guin's story, "The Author of Acadia Seeds."

This research would have made Star Trek IV a much shorter movie.

i love your smile and laugh.. you are so beautiful and cute sam :) can not wait to see you learning whale :D

It is very human though to try to teach cetaceans English, why not French instead ? But it should be us learning their language . Typical dumb lazy Humans expect others to accommodate us. Great video , thank you for sharing .

could birds that can make a wide and varied number of sounds be taught whale ?

CLICK.......click

It sure would be neat if you were actually in that room with all those books.

Several reasons, 1st. Lion fish have been super attractive as an exotic species in the pet trade. People added the fish to their tanks and they the fish ate all their fish. They dispose they fish alive in local waterways and canals. 2. They can actually live in fresh waters as well. Recently discovered which is a huge threat. 3. It's possible if not plausible that it's intentionally done to disrupt fishing industries.

Thanks for the science! I hadn't known where chloroplasts came from before today (And I worship our new algal overlord)

There are American biologists attempting to introduce lionfish into the food chain by training predator species. Sharks spit them out as other species that eat their prey whole. Lionfish dorsal spines defy the gaping maw predators. On the other hand , corral crunchers did better as they shred using their elongated armored mouth and are capable of attacking weak spots.

Funny but missing some truth. Chinese infrastructure has a tendency to collapse for no reason. A lot of the infrastructure is not needed. 40 Million empty houses..

Moray eels love adult lion fish and breed at such depths lionfish do not eat them very much.

The lionfish is specialized in eating frye, basically whatever eats them will have their young eaten just because they overlap as breeders beneath the reef. which is to say as they lay their eggs they are preyed apon by larger fish at depths beneath the reefs. but go on to eat every single frye of those predators as a they hatch.

I didn't know they were in the Med, too. Ugh.

⚠when i went at Florida and i saw a warning Of loin fish ⚠

Yay🎉 one of my fav start of the week highlights🎉🎉🎉 Thanks Sam!

As a Scuba diver, I have seen Lionfish in areas where they are an invasive species. On the other hand I have never seen Lionfish eggs. I have been told that they lay their eggs at depths beyond the reefs. Who knows?

To quote the Martian: we're gonna have to science the shit out of this!

The title of the video made me laugh out loud 💀

I love your presentation and delivery. Subscribed!

New organelle, new science nerdery I now follow! 👍

maybe we need to look at the fungal side of lichens in order to take full advantage of this newly discovered advancement in evolution !

Wasn't this discovered decades ago?

New* organelle!!! Hooray! (150million years old) lol

Yay new episode!🎉🎉🎉
