Scientists are already working tirelessly to tackle some of humanity's most pressing issues, but there are also many exciting areas of research that could make a real impact on our daily lives.
For example, scientists at UC Berkeley have created a new color called "olo" which is somewhere between teal and turquoise. Another breakthrough was the successful treatment of a rare genetic disorder in a baby using custom gene editing techniques.
Scientists have made some fascinating discoveries about marine life too - such as ichthyosaurs with 'stealth flippers', snails that can regrow their eyes, and flamingos that form tornado-like vortices as they search for food.
In the field of technology, researchers are working on developing new kinds of wearable devices. One suggestion made by Emma Beddington is for a device that could not only monitor our physical activity levels but also help us to avoid procrastination. She even joked about wanting a device that would administer an electric shock if it detected that she was spending too much time on the sofa after 10pm.
Emma is also keen to see more research into the topic of earworms - those annoying songs that get stuck in our heads and won't go away. And who knows, maybe one day we'll have a device that can help us to remove them.
Another area of interest is renewable energy. Emma suggests that researchers look into harnessing the power of scrolling on our phones or tablets, as well as the middle-aged female rage that often comes with being left unemptied bin.
Finally, she has some questions about our relationship with exercise and sleep. She wonders what would happen if we ran on a treadmill for an extended period of time, and whether slumping over to the fridge could have any unexpected health benefits.
Overall, Emma's suggestions highlight the exciting and varied range of scientific research that is currently underway.

! Can you imagine having a device that literally shocks u into productivity lol 
. But seriously, harnessing phone power is genius - we're already wasting so much energy just scrolling through our feeds 
. And earworm removal tech? That's like something out of a sci-fi movie 
. I'm all for renewable energy solutions and exploring weird ways to generate electricity. The treadmill-to-fridge experiment has me curious too... maybe it's time to rethink the whole exercise routine 
Like seriously, a new color "olo" just got created? And gene editing can fix rare disorders in babies?! 
That's insane! But what really gets me excited is the wearable device that's supposed to help us avoid procrastination... an electric shock if we spend too much time on the sofa after 10pm? 
And earworms, ugh! Who hasn't been there?! 
It'd be so cool to have a device that can actually get those annoying songs out of our heads! 
That's like, my ultimate dream right now!
. It's like our bodies are just trying to tell us something, right?
. And who wouldn't want to get rid of those earworms? 
.
. The concept of middle-aged female rage being turned into energy is just genius 
The concept of a wearable device that can monitor our physical activity levels and even administer an electric shock to deter procrastination is genius 
. Overall, these ideas show just how much potential there is for innovation in scientific research right now 
.
but on a more serious note, gene editing breakthroughs like that baby treatment is insane 
. And can you even believe they've found snails that can regrow their eyes? Mind blown, right? 
! Like, can you even imagine having a device that gives you an electric shock if it detects you've been binge-watching Netflix for too long 
.
.
these scientists are doing some crazy cool stuff! i mean can you even imagine having a device that could help you avoid procrastination 
They're literally making our lives better in every way possible! I mean who wouldn't want a device that removes earworms 
? And can we talk about the marine life discoveries? Ichthyosaurs with stealth flippers?! Snails that regrow their eyes?! That's like something out of a sci-fi movie 
. And can you imagine having a device that could help you avoid procrastination? That's like, the ultimate productivity hack 
. It just goes to show how much we still have to learn about our world and its amazing creatures. And renewable energy is such an important topic - harnessing power from phone scrolling or, um, midlife rage
