Scientists around the world are collaborating on an ambitious project to construct a Human Cell Atlas — a reference map of all the cells in our body. Why? Many diseases can be traced back to disorders of the cell, and so understanding their molecular characteristics and location inside the body is crucial to better diagnosing and treating diseases.
But it’s a mammoth undertaking. After all, the human body contains over 37 trillion cells, making it hard to precisely pinpoint the drivers of disease.
One platform that’s expediting the process of building cell atlases is Chan Zuckerberg CELL by GENE, an interactive tool that lets researchers around the world analyze—and contribute to—single-cell data sets.

Big challenges require big solutions.
We’re surrounded by challenges that can feel insurmountable — challenges like climate change, unsustainable agriculture, war, and inequity. These complex systems are difficult to comprehend, much less change.
So, what if we just started fresh?
With the newest technology, the most passionate people, and the biggest ideas the world had to offer, what if we could set about trying to rebuild our world — from scratch.
What would we change? How would we design it? What could we lose? Let’s explore what that new world could look like.
It’s time to think big — it’s time for a Hard Reset.

,1,Could robotic dolphins help marine parks become more humane spaces where people can learn about and connect with nature? Edge Innovations thinks so.
Subscribe here: https://bit.ly/3Bv1RUF
The first step toward that future could be Delle, an 8.5-foot-long, 600-pound animatronic dolphin that’s able to swim semi-autonomously using simple AI, or remotely under control of a human operator. Delle swims and behaves so naturally that some audiences — and the fish it shares tanks with — can’t distinguish it from the real animal.
From an industry perspective, what’s probably most alluring about robotic dolphins isn’t what they can do, but what they don’t need: food, sleep, training, and veterinary care. That’s not to say robotic dolphins are cheap: Delle costs between $3 to $5 million, while a live dolphin can cost marine parks about $100,000.
It’s too early to determine exactly how much money marine parks could save with robotic dolphins, but making the switch would almost certainly save massive amounts of suffering among these smart, social sea creatures.
