From decoding the human genome to exploring the universe, science has made huge strides in the 21st century.

My big three wins of these from a personal perspective would be:

  • Advances in vaccine technology, in particular mRNA tech. I also love how the right-wing weirdos don’t even understand what the tech actually is, nevermind what it does. 😅 It makes their ramblings about it so entertaining to hear.
  • An actual image of an actual black hole. Little me decades ago loved Sci-Fi - I mean I kinda still do. And this is Sci-Fi, now. It’s weird to think that in 30 years that near-future actually became the present.
  • Feathered dinosaurs, simply because of it making me realize how my entire visual understanding of dinosaurs was entirely the creation of Jurassic Park.
