It’s important to remember that while CRISPR/Cas9 was developed by various scientists, it was Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna who discovered it could be used to edit genes. So these two both deserve the Nobel Prize. In my previous post, I am giving credit to the others

For those confused: it’s all down to your kidneys. Too much water causes your blood sodium to be too much diluted or too low. This is because your two small kidneys can't get rid of the excess water fast enough. Too low sodium is hyponatremia and it’s fatal if prolonged 56 hours!

Our body is fussy with element levels. We can survive low iron for quite a while (Iron deficiency anaemia). But others no! Five top elements we can’t survive if too low: sodium,potassium, calcium (1st three help nerve impulses work), oxygen (make ATP) and magnesium (make enzymes)
