Big meme

I hate these memes
>blockchain (especially non-crypto applications)
>internet of things
>machine learning
>5G
Everyone who talks about them is a pseud.

>>10489398
But why though?

>>10489401
Facts. Do you think I could become rich by combining these buzzwords with biology stuff to make a biotech company?

It was a political meme to justify abortions and stealing foreskins from infants in my retarded opinion. Useless now because everyone’s cool with post-natal abortion. Popular science is a propaganda machine.

>>10489392
There's tons of clinical trials going on.
>Why has the hype died out?
Politics, probably.

She's quite inspirational for me. I think she could have pulled it off if she just released a product tangently related to what she had promised. She went in too deep. Idk why she kept going on an idea that would never work when she had $400 million in funding...she could have pivoted to something actually functional with that money. My plan is to do the same in the beginning and then introduce something functional, no matter how boring or derivative it may be.

>I hate them personally but I know nothing about them
They're cells that haven't been given a job yet. The idea is that they could be used to fix brain damage or terrible tissue illnesses.

Research is still going strong, but now that embryonic cells are no longer required and there's nothing to outrage over, the media got bored

>>10489410
Unironically yes. But drop 5G.

>>10489488
Sorry, I know that much (Biochem undergrad cuck) but I know nothing of the nitty gritty about them

>>10489392
I really really like this picture
Mind if I save it

Also, people used to think that we'd be able to grow stem cells to make replacement organs or tissue, but that has turned out to be very difficult, since veins and capillaries must distribute blood through any organ, and they are fractally complex down past microns. Stem cells are still very useful for mundane things though like skin grafts, human cell experimentation, and pharmacology testing.

Remember those companies who changed their names to something with blockchain? Whose stock instantly skyrocketed following the change?

>>10490192
No, could you give me examples?

To clarify, I hate the people studying them. You must study stem cells

im getting them shot into my gums to battle recession

they just figured ways of harvesting adult stem cells

I don't think they're a meme. But I don't think America will be in the forefront of its development. Not even kidding I think China will. Also another meme thing that I think needs more research is telomeres.
