And that s really what discovery and imagination is all about.

And we can evolve this exploration of the substance of things not seen. Thank you.

Partly, they're pumping money in because commodity prices are high, but it's not just that. There's also a range of new discoveries.

By bringing together what we know and what we don't know through analogy, metaphorical thinking strikes the spark that ignites discovery.

Scientists, pure mathematicians among them, follow one or the other of two pathways First through early discoveries, a problem is identified and a solution is sought.

And we tried to put these into gene families to see what these discoveries are Are we just discovering new members of known families, or are we discovering new families?

The most interesting discovery of late, I think is the so called immortal jellyfish, which has actually been observed in the lab to be able to be able to revert back to the polyp state after reaching full maturity.

But 18 months later this is how innovation happens 18 months later, my boss said I could do it on the side, as a sort of a play project, kick the tires of a new computer we'd got.

They happened at the conference table at the weekly lab meeting, when everybody got together and shared their kind of latest data and findings, oftentimes when people shared the mistakes they were having, the error, the noise in the signal they were discovering.

In the last 30 years, thanks to explorations in remote parts of the world and advances in technology, biologists have, for example, added a full one third of the known frog and other amphibian species, to bring the current total to 5,400, and more continue to pour in.

Some recent discoveries There's an ant colony from Argentina that has now spread to every continent but Antarctica there's a self directed robot scientist that's made a discovery soon, science may no longer need us, and life may no longer need us either a microbe wakes up after 120,000 years.
