Let's get all the help we can. voice-verified

And someone does the cytoskeleton, someone else does the ribosome, and you all chip in. voice-verified

Imagine living on the ocean floor for days at a time, stepping straight into an open moon pool into the sea. voice-verified

That's the dream of the scientists and engineers at Deep who've built Vanguard, the world's first new open ocean subsea research habitat in 40 years. voice-verified

Join them in a New Scientist CoLab video to find out what happened when they deployed Vanguard at Tennessee Reef off the coast of Florida. voice-verified

Their goal is to inspire oceanographers, biologists, researchers and others to become the next generation of aquanauts. voice-verified

i just want to bring it back to more fundamental questions because i know that we're all primed to say well what are we going to get out of it and what are we going to make out of it and when are we going to get synthetic pharmaceuticals out of this thing but but again you know so it's telling us something about what life is but then i also like how it will start maybe telling us about how life arose voice-verified

So I just visited that lab at University College London, Nick Lane's Pathway to Life. voice-verified

They're trying to put together how living things emerge from non-living things. voice-verified

And that's what they're doing here in a different way, though, putting together the different components of things that are dead on their own. voice-verified

And then eventually you're going to get something alive out of it. voice-verified

And that will shed light on what is still one of the biggest questions that we've ever asked, the origin of life. voice-verified

And we might be seeing it coming from synthetic yeast before we get this bottom-up approach really up and running and enough to scale up and work on industrial scale. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

The synthetic yeast project has been a long time coming. voice-verified

It's always like nearly there, nearly there. voice-verified

So for that, I think there's 13 chromosomes in yeast and they're having to synthesize each one from scratch and then debug it. voice-verified

So these are... voice-verified
