22 Scientific Breakthroughs We’re Closer to Than People Realize

Science brings us a whole lot of bad news. It seems like there’s an entire field of study dedicated to telling us the cancer risk of the only food that brings us joy. There’s a little too much “French fries might cause cystic fibrosis,” and not enough “no more cancer,” if you ask me. 

It’s not all doom and gloom, though. Redditors discussed the scientific breakthroughs that are pretty close to being realized, like growing transplantable organs or creating artificial wombs for premature babies, which inspires a bit of hope at least.

So, if you need your faith in science restored, here are more breakthroughs that’ll be available sooner rather than later, including a human-to-animal communication method that makes it feel like talking dogs could be part of our future.
