Description
The human immune system is the most complex biological system we know, after the human brain, and yet, most of us never learn how it works. Or what it is. Your immune System consists of hundreds of tiny and two large organs, it has its own transport network spread throughout your body. Every day it makes hundreds of billions of fresh cells.
It is not some sort of abstract entity. Your immune system is YOU. Your biology protecting you from the billions of microorganisms that want to consume you and from your own perverted cells that turn into cancer. It's so manifold that it is impossible to cover in one video, so we’ll make a series looking at different aspects of it.
Today, what happens when your body is invaded and your first lines of defenses are engaged in a fight for life and death?

The Internet is Worse Than Ever – Now What?: <p>Sources & further reading: https://sites.google.com/view/sources-why-we-hate-each-other/ In 2022 nearly half of Americans expected a civil war in the next few years, one in five now believes political violence is justified. And it is not just in the US but around the world. People increasingly see themselves as part of opposing teams. There are many different reasons for this, but one gets blamed a lot: social media. Social media divides us, makes us more extreme and less empathetic, riles us up, or sucks us into doom scrolling, making us stressed and depressed. It feels like we need to touch grass and escape to the real world. New research shows that we might have largely misinterpreted why this is the case. It turns out that the social media internet may uniquely undermine the way our brains work but not in the way you think.</p> <p>Follow the podcast to join us in this audio experience of Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell.</p> <p>A fa by Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell
