OK, science, but not rocket related.

Scientists managed to transfer memorised learned behaviours between snails. I think this is fascinating, truly remarkable science, that could possibly lead to Humans having greater memory capacity, or one day be able to have the memory of experiencing certain things. It could, I guess, lead to really powerful training for certain things, without the need to train.

Anyway, I think this is quite amazing.

Not sure how it deals with Alzheimer's - you can only install memories from another person! (unless you extract the RNA first and freeze it suppose - data backup in the fridge... next to the stem cells.
