Terrestrial

This is terrestrial chemistry.

It is terrestrial skinning.

The first limitation is the oxygen oxygen toxicity.

You die because oxygen toxicity can cause a seizure.

He had an oxygen toxicity seizure and he drowned.

All right, she's suffering from Melia toxicity every six weeks.

You can find spiders in nearly every terrestrial habitat.

Congress passed something called the Extra Terrestrial Exposure Act.

I must talk to you about E.T. the Extra Terrestrial

Your Extra Terrestrial Exposure law was repealed twenty years ago.

The boreal forest sequesters more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem.

On the back there is scales and measurements for terrestrial navigation.

And so with the dispersants combined, you have this very synergistic combined toxicity.

In reality, these animals have no terrestrial counterpart they're unique in the world.

They return to the environment in one way or another, continuing the cycle of toxicity.

They're prophecy for the kind of seismic, terrestrial effects of the math that we're making.

Did you know rats that ate genetically engineered corn had developed signs of liver and kidney toxicity?

Two great books on this Terrestrial Energy by Bill Tucker, and The Power to Save the

That game E.T. the Exra Terrestrial is famous because it was one of the big cause

like Vasco da Gama and Columbus had the good fortune to open up the terrestrial globe.

How do we measure the toxicity of the drug in response in, the body's response to receiving that medication?

Fifty years ago, the journey to find answers took a different path and SETl, the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, began.

Have you ever wondered why some people are unable to tolerate drugs, whereas others are able to take it without any toxicity whatsoever.

But if we only had an oxygen gas supply cylinder, we wouldn't be able to go very deep, because we'd run into oxygen toxicity very quickly.

SETI doesn't presume the existence of extra terrestrial intelligence it merely notes the possibility, if not the probability in this vast universe, which seems fairly uniform.

Ten thousand years ago, at the dawn of agriculture, human population, plus livestock and pets, was approximately a tenth of one percent of the terrestrial vertebrate landmass.

It's an ocean planet, and we think of ourselves as a terrestrial species, but the pyramid of life in the ocean and our own lives on land are intricately connected.

Now Drake did not discover extraterrestrial intelligence, but he learned a very valuable lesson from a passing aircraft, and that's that terrestrial technology can interfere with the search for extraterrestrial technology.

And meanwhile SETl, the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, is now releasing its data to the public so that millions of citizen scientists, maybe including you, can bring the power of the crowd to join the search.

So it's interesting for me, when I'm looking for someone who can really talk to me and talk to an audience about these things, that probably one of the most important people in the world who can discuss toxicity in babies is expert in frogs.

For the sake of the planet we live on, for the sake of our children, for the sake of all the other organisms that share our planet with us, we are a terrestrial animal, and we depend on our land for food.

It's what we humans do when we go in the ocean as engineers we take all our terrestrial hang ups, all our constraints importantly, these two dimensional constraints that we have, and they're so constrained we don't even understand it and we take them underwater.

So, this concept of giving a drug, how the body responds to the drug, how the toxicity is manifested, how the environment changes that, how the genetic makeup of the individual will determine degrees of response both good and bad are all well within the spectrum of the discipline of pharmacology.

And our primary purpose in doing so, is an attempt to trying minimize toxicity, the drug affecting parts of the body that we don't want it to do. And then how do we actually prove that a drug works? Who do we have to prove this to and why do we have to prove it?

If an intelligent extra terrestrial was taxed with writing the encyclopedia of life on our planet, 27 out of 30 of these volumes would be devoted to bacteria and virus, with just a few of the volumes left for plants, fungus and animals, humans being a footnote interesting footnote but a footnote nonetheless.

And the face of pharmacology is constantly changing. We can take individuals, we can administer drugs, we can measure the response to drugs, both good and bad, we cannot now try and understand how those drugs work but the specificity of our understanding is ever increasing. For example, we know that environment significantly changes an individual response to a drug, both in terms of its efficacy as well as its toxicity.

These are sailors who in the darkness, in the hull of the vessel, can distinguish as many as 32 different sea swells moving through the canoe at any one point in time, distinguishing local wave disturbances from the great currents that pulsate across the ocean, that can be followed with the same ease that a terrestrial explorer would follow a river to the sea.
