Scientists have made a wild discovery in our lungs and it could help us understand more about the root cause of Cystic Fibrosis! A specific type of cell that was previously only found in fish and frogs has been discovered in humans too!! Maybe this explains Jeremie’s scaly skin and weird slits on his neck that he uses to breathe underwater. Or perhaps it has nothing to do with that at all. Nothing like a home makeover! But let’s do home-makeover, disability style! Arcade-style claw machine built into the ceiling of one woman's house allows her to play with her dogs and take poops without the need of help from someone else! In other news, one group of researchers have somehow discovered a method of making relatively “healthy” folks hear voices that aren’t really there. Could this robotic induced hallucination machine bring us one step closer to understanding conditions like Schizophrenia better? Time will tell!
