BITS’N’ PIECES
The future of humanity is increasingly uncertain. The environment is under incredible pressure, and it paints a dark picture for future generations.
In order to record data linked to climate change, a project known as Black Box is due to launch this year. The idea is to install a black box on Earth, on the west coast of Tasmania, around 150 miles to the south of Australia.
It will be operational at some point in early 2022, and the data it records will be protected by a layer of steel almost three inches thick.
The project is being carried out by Clemenger BBDO, Australia's largest marketing communications company, together with researchers from the University of Tasmania.

According to the website, the team has already begun recording data, despite the structure not being built yet.
Scientists have figured out a way for dozens of frogs to fully regenerate amputated legs, and say it’s an early step in one day helping humans regrow limbs.
A group of scientists used drug treatments to regrow the legs of 115 African clawed frogs in 18 months.
Tadpoles and froglets are able to regenerate their body parts, but the African clawed frogs don't normally have that ability. The new limbs regrown by the frogs were complete with muscles and bones and good enough for functional use.
Their regenerative capabilities mirror those of humans. The next milestone will be replicating with mammals before considering human trials. Human beings and mammals naturally have some regenerative abilities and can regrow hair and skin cells, and heal damaged internal organs.
