The Sheekey Science Show | Cryobiology & Cryogenics - cool stuff? @TheSheekeyScienceShow | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Why are people interested in “freezing” as a way of life preservation. Well, it is super cool for two reasons. It is (i) super cool in terms of temperature, and (ii) cool, for the ingenious ways researchers have found to alleviate ice crystal formation and for the many potential applications. This is the field of cryobiology and/or cryopreservation.
In this video, we will have a beginner’s intro to cryobiology and cryogenics: why, what, the hmmm the how and the what if and the potential.
