Often science is attributed to meaningless advancements that amount to a bunch of bloviating by those who care simply because it’s their job to care. Far too often simple advances that could truly save lives never get developed because the money (or profit) isn’t really there.
However, it’s easy to see where simple glowing bacteria can save 20,000 lives each year. They are still recovering land mines from the Korean War and innocent people die every day due to them. It’s great to see that scientist somewhere are interested in saving lives and not about becoming rich off of the next drug!
