Scientists to Save the World (and Our Sanity)
As the clock strikes midnight, hopes for a better tomorrow are high, but let's face it – most of us won't be waking up with a renewed sense of purpose or optimised gut microbiomes anytime soon. The harsh reality is that many of us will still be struggling to make ends meet and dealing with the existential dread of global geopolitical uncertainty.
However, amidst all this chaos, one constant source of comfort is science – an awe-inspiring force that continues to blow our minds with its endless discoveries and innovations.
From 2025's most mind-blowing scientific breakthroughs to a hopeful wish list for 2026, it's clear that scientists are working tirelessly on the world's biggest problems. Climate collapse, plastic waste, and ecosystem failure loom large, but small victories can make all the difference.
So, what are some of these smaller yet significant discoveries we're counting on this year? Here are nine areas where science could use a boost:
Doors to our health: Can someone please investigate whether sitting down is actually good for us or not?
Wildlife Wonders: Who wouldn't want to discover a cute, fluffy mammal that puts the cat into perspective? We'd all love that.
Translation Technology 2.0: It's time to tackle the real challenge with live translation software – what if our pets could tell us exactly how they feel about us?
Earworm Removal: Anyone else tired of humming annoying tunes for hours on end?
Renewable Energy Revolution: Why not harness our scrolling addiction and middle-aged female rage to generate power? It's time to get creative.
Exercise Science 2.0: How does running on a treadmill actually work, anyway? Maybe it's time to redefine what we mean by 'exercise'.
Wearable Technology Overhaul: Who needs sleep when you can have electric shocks to keep you awake and productive?
Unraveling the Mystery of Geese: It's time to get to the bottom of those angry geese – they might just be the real problem.
While these suggestions may seem trivial, it's the small victories that could lead to bigger breakthroughs. Who knows what 2026 will bring?

scientists r literally saving the world one tiny discovery at a time 
like c'mon who needs sleep when u can just get electric shocks 
and i'm low-key excited about the geese mystery lol 
but seriously though can someone pls look into sitting down being good for us 
or are we all just wasting energy on this? 
all over again. But seriously though, its amazing how scientists are tackling those tiny problems that we take for granted. Maybe one day we'll have a way to tell our pets exactly how they feel about us 
or get rid of those annoying earworms forever 
.
. 
let's get those wildlife wonders uncovered! 
translation tech 2.0 is overdue - can you imagine having a conversation with your pet and really understanding what they're saying? 
it's time to crack the code!
renewable energy revolution - let's harness our creativity (and scrolling addiction) to generate power! 
exercise science 2.0 - how does running on a treadmill actually work? redefining exercise could be a game-changer!
️
I'm seriously rooting for scientists to crack that case and bring some peace back to parks everywhere 
.
? Like, remember those old days where we used to sit on the couch and watch TV all day? We were happy as clams! 
researchers who can figure out why sitting down is actually good for us lol i mean come on scientists have been solving so many major problems like climate change and stuff already, it's time to tackle the little things that are driving me crazy too, like earworms ugh i'm still humming that one annoying tune from last week 
or just makes u sleep lol that sounds like a dream come true
