Hope you’re doing well and all that stuff! Anyways, I’ve been wanting to cut my hair for a really long time. My parents of course, won’t let me…..(which is why I’ve been waiting for some time haha) This is why I wrote this post to get my parents to agree to let me cut my hair. The deal is: If I can get 75,000 notes on this I can cut it. I REALLY WANT TO CUT IT. That’s why it would be great if you guys could spread this around and show other people. Signal boost this, like this, reblog this, LIKE AND REBLOG THIS, or even write a comment for me(which I’ll try to do my best and answer. That’s all and thanks!!
Update: Apparently, now the total I have to reach is 75,000 (that’s very bad, and big, I know)(They want to make this super hard so AHHHHx100)
(Please help me reach this number please)
(Once again, HUGE number)
@everyone
because I can’t cut mine either
(Protip: add notes quickly by sending one-letter replies repeatedly. It ups the count as fast as possible.)
No, that is NOT what this is. You’ve taken an amazing medical invention, a total game changer, and made up some stupid, faux-deep sentence fragment for it that is a complete falsehood. You should be embarrassed and ashamed, honestly.
This is a ghost heart. What they’ve done is taken a pig heart and stripped it down to, basically, a cell framework that they can use to BUILD A NEW HEART UPON. You could inject stem cells into this framework so that a newly formed personalized heart can be transplanted into a donor with a significantly reduced chance of rejection. FUCKING AMAZING. It’s not been done with human tissue yet, but the promise this given to people who need hearts – or kidneys or livers or whatever – is beautiful. Science is beautiful.
And it’s IMPERATIVE to mention that a woman, Doris Taylor, at the Texas Heart Institute developed this. And she started with a rat heart and worked up to he bigger, more complex (and more human) pig heart. What a total bad ass.
So look, quit making shit up, learn to do a reverse image search on stuff you find on the internet, and STOP ERASING WOMEN IN SCIENCE.
Reblogging for:
The corrected information
WOMEN IN SCIENCE
The fact that rejection rate would be LESS which is VITAL
