So I typed up a budget, a materials list, a timeline, and a procedure, and I emailed it to 200 different professors at Johns Hopkins University and the National Institutes of Health essentially, anyone that had anything to do with pancreatic cancer.

And this is the biggest biomedical enterprise research in the world.

And I was fascinated, I wanted to know how do these guys do it.

And it goes down the sides and goes into the critter's mouth.

That's what I've learned from my own personal experience, but the scientific research on this topic is even more compelling.

My friend Mike is studying chemistry at Oxford University.

Four years ago, I came back to Australia, to Sydney.

No man is an island.

That's good.

His study of optics led him to the invention of the magnifying glass.

So to address this problem,

Experimenting on you and... No, Ray.

Now we study this, as the nerdy, laboratory, university based scientists that we are, by engaging the brains of animals like rats, or monkeys, or of this particularly curious creature one of the more bizarre forms of life on earth to engage them in learning new skills and abilities.

And it's in a sense the most selfish thing that we can do.

And that is a very dangerous thing.

Would you be a conforming prisoner, or a heroic resistant?

Treetop Barbie is a great example of that.

We can do it.

I specialize in restoring archaeology.
