Have you ever watched a sci-fi movie and wondered, How close are we to making this a reality? Or stumbled upon a mind-blowing YouTube video that left you thinking, How on earth did the researcher even come up with this!

You're not alone! I’m here to dive deep into the research for you and break it down—hopefully with some fun analogies—so you can catch up on what you’ve missed in the ongoing entourage of scientific accomplishments and get a glimpse of what the future holds.

But that’s not all. Every research enthusiast has, at some point, daydreamed about revolutionizing their field. Science isn’t just about breakthroughs—it’s also about failures that pave the way for success. Alongside cutting-edge discoveries, I’ll share some of my own "failed" ideas to give you a peek into a tinkerer’s mind—how we hit roadblocks and push forward or fall flat on our faces.

Together, we’ll explore the answers to the big questions that everyone wants answers to, like How close are we to solving global warming? (using biology, of course). But we won’t stop there—we’ll also uncover fascinating, lesser-known scientific pursuits, like How close are we to building a fully organic computer?
