Today, you’ll learn about a new way to turn certain blood types into universal blood types that could save countless lives, how exercise makes time slow down, and the new plastic made of eggshells that could clean up our water and stop plastic pollution.  

Universal Donors 

• “Bacterial enzyme strips away blood types to create universal donor blood.” by Paul McClure. 2024.

• “Facts About Blood and Blood Types.” American Red Cross. 2024.  
• “Akkermansia muciniphila exoglycosidases target extended blood group antigens to generate ABO-universal blood.” by Mathias Jensen, et al. 2024.  

Exercise & Time 

• “Time warps when you workout: Study confirms exercise slows our perception of time.” by Eric W. Dolan. 2024.  
• “The perception of time is slowed in response to exercise, an effect not further compounded by competitors: behavioral implications for exercise and health.” by Andrew Mark Edwards, et al. 2024.  

Eggshell Plastic
