So that's kind of the vision that I've been thinking about.

They completely forget.

On the right, there is a coral.

Let me get a sample, and she transferred part to a petri dish.

Look at the nuclei.

In a petri dish, bacteria grow.

Every one of those blue cells are a cancer gene inside a cancer cell, and they're part of the feather.

So, in the chicken you get a tumor, in the embryo you don't, you dissociate, you put it in a dish, you get another tumor.

So basically what he did was to take a healthy cell and turn it into a sick cell, and he recapitulated the disease over and over again in the dish, and this was extraordinary, because it was the first time that we had a model of a disease from a living patient in living human cells.

But imagine a different scenario, where we could have had an array, a genetically diverse array, of cardiac cells, and we could have actually tested that drug, Vioxx, in petri dishes, and figured out, well, okay, people with this genetic type are going to have cardiac side effects, people with these genetic subgroups or genetic shoes sizes, about 25,000 of them, are not going to have any problems.

If we're going to find our way back to each other, we have to understand and know empathy, because empathy's the antidote to shame.

If you put shame in a Petri dish, it needs three things to grow exponentially secrecy, silence and judgment.

If you take some heart cells from an animal and put it in a dish, they'll just sit there and beat.

Say they double every generation, and five generations before the end the petri dish is 15 16ths empty, and then the next generation's 3 4ths empty, and the next generation half empty.

It really is extraordinary, because you can recapitulate many, many diseases in a dish, you can see what begins to go wrong in the cellular conversation well before you would ever see symptoms appear in a patient.

Or again, the collapse of the Soviet Union took place within a couple of decades, maybe within a decade, of the time when the Soviet Union was at its greatest power.

These rapid collapses are especially likely where there's a mismatch between available resources and resource consumption, or a mismatch between economic outlays and economic potential.

It has a bottom, it has a top, it is secreting gobs and gobs of milk, because it just came from an early pregnant mouse.
