It's hard to imagine a world where humanity would survive a nuclear apocalypse, which is why it's probably good that scientists at the University of California developed a new synthetic melanin called Selenomelanin by modifying our natural pheomelanin. This new melanin, enhanced with selenium, offers significantly better protection against radiation.
Is this humanity's future?

Planned Parenthood isn't the United States largest provider of abortions... but someone else is. In this short video, I discuss the crucial role of human s***m structure and how it can result in embryonic mosaic aneuploidies, which end up impacting the viability of human embryos, resulting in just a third of conceptions making it all the way to term.
It's time pro-lifers reconsider their beliefs.
