Apparently the scientist responsible for this discovery is a 30 year old Japanese woman that struggled for 5 years to convince her colleagues that she could be right.
She was told more than once that what she was proposing was wrong and that she should give up.
A young Japanese woman going against the status quo in Japan for 5 years is a very hard thing to do.
I congratulate her courage - I might benefit from it one day.
This might be a totally stupid question but I couldn't find the answer on the web and all the other comments are from yesterday. But are conditions in the womb acidic? I'm just wondering, that if DNA works at all like computer code, then maybe cells have programming to work a certain way in certain conditions and maybe it's not so much that a cell undergoes a permanent change when it matures but that the old programming just doesn't run anymore?
