It's lots of tiny immune changes in your genes that lead to really small changes
almost immeasurable immune changes.
So for us, we really wanted to develop a laboratory test that picked up on that sensitivity of all of those different genetic changes.
And we really think that's what we were able to do.
We really need to extend the value of these tests and their application to other autoimmune diseases.
But our prediction is, given that we're clearly measuring the immune functions as a sum of all of these small minor genetic changes,
that we are going to be able to detect that.
We celebrate the Adelaide-born so-called Mozart of maths.
And we ask, where are all our memories stored?
And what happens when that storage is corrupted?
That's right.
And next week, we'll bring you a story about how scientists have been preparing for exactly this to keep our native animals safe.
And of course, one of the greatest brains on the planet sits in the skull of mathematician Terence Tao.
And also here in Australia, we'll have a dark matter detector of our own, but in a gold mine rather than a nickel mine.
Last I heard, those instruments will be installed a little later this year.
Also this year is the centenary of Family Planning Australia.
But, Robin, did you know that the birth control movement was not just a feminist movement but also a eugenic one?
I didn't.
It's true.
And, you know, eugenics is the now discredited belief that the human population could be improved by selectively breeding what were considered the best people.
