High-volume sequencing and big data: both of these technological feats produce gigantic amounts of data that can be analysed in the fields of biology and medicine. Bioinformaticians are on the case!
Fun fact
Red blood cells (or erythrocytes, to give them their scientific name) can reach speeds of up to 30mm/second in certain blood vessels. That’s 0.1kmh. And while they’re probably not quite ready for a 10k or half-marathon yet, that’s still a pretty impressive speed for a microscopic cell.
