#JonasSalk born 28 October 1914 Developed the polio vaccine “There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.” “Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.”

Our immune system consists of around 1.8 trillion cells, according to the journal PNASNews: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… According to ScienceAlert, In an average adult man, immune cells collectively weigh about 2.6 pounds – which is the same as one pineapple, or six hamsters.

Scientist Jazmin Aguado-Sierra has created a world-first visualisation of her own heart, which is accurate down to a cellular level. Technology of this kind could perhaps be used to forecast an individual’s health, and might allow doctors to predict the effects of a drug which

Researchers have implanted tiny sensors to record activity in the brain's speech motor cortex that signals to speech muscles, aiming to predict the sounds a person wishes to make. One day perhaps some people unable to speak with neurological diseases might communicate through
