Coral Reefs: Nature’s Underwater Pharmacies
What’s the Latest Development?
Biologists have begun to discover just what a treasure trove the oceans’ coral reefs are in terms of finding potential cures to some of humanity’s worst diseases. Tens of thousands of chemicals have already been identified and, of those thousands, hundreds are currently under medical investigation. “Sponges are particularly rich sources of chemicals,” said professor Callum Roberts, a marine conservation biologist at the University of York, “particularly anti-cancer chemicals. Many have been shown to be tumor suppresents and one has already been licensed for use in the treatment of leukemia.”What’s the Big Idea?
Coral reefs naturally represent nature’s largest pharmacy thanks to evolutionary processes which have endowed a wide variety of species with vastly different and highly complex chemical makeups in their intense competition for a limited amount of underwater real-estate. Currently, however, coral reefs are under pressure from a variety of man-made hazards including pollution, over-fishing and climate change. “To lose those possible treatments through the destruction of coral reefs would be an unparalleled act of folly,” said Roberts.

A large, vibrant meteor shot through the sky shortly after 7:50 p.m. The meteor traveled from west to east in the northeast sky eyewitnesses say.

PARt 2
Forgot about this version. Thought I’d upload it just for kicks.
p.s. there’s a bit of latency in places.. too many tracks for ableton to function properly, apparently. anyway, just ignore that.
THIS TRACK IS INSANE AND IS THE 1ST OF 2 INSANE REMIXES
A remix that I hated for a while.. made during the stress of final exams. I didn’t want to share it at all, and then I went treeplanting and listened to it after three months without hearing it.. and decided that I liked it again.
Mind the mix quality.. I kind of went for a lo-fi underwater vibe with this one.
