Real question & talk: Are these citizens orphaned, or is the government just away on permanent leave? 🤔

A 10 year old child’s experiment demonstrated that memories can be inherited across generations.

The story started when Jo Nagai, a second grader from Kobe, Japan, observed that swallowtail butterflies he had raised by hand appeared to recognize him, whereas wild butterflies would flee.

Motivated to uncover a scientific explanation, he contacted Georgetown University entomologist Dr. Martha Weiss, who had previously shown that moths retain memories despite the extensive cellular reorganization during metamorphosis.

Encouraged by her research, Jo suggested conducting a similar study with butterflies. This led to a remarkable international collaboration. Using a simple setup created at home, Jo conditioned caterpillars to link a gentle vibration with the smell of lavender.

Remarkably, after their brains were entirely reconstructed inside the chrysalis, 70 percent of the adult butterflies still avoided the lavender scent, demonstrating that their memories had endured the transformation.

The most surprising result emerged when Jo bred these conditioned insects. Neither the offspring nor the grandchildren had ever encountered the vibration, yet both generations displayed an instinctive aversion to the lavender scent.

At the age of ten, Jo compiled his groundbreaking observations into a 33 page paper and presented them alongside Dr. Weiss at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe. This discovery of transgenerational memory challenges conventional views of genetics and inheritance while illustrating how a child’s curiosity can push the frontiers of scientific understanding.

@zikohercules Hardware R&D is brutal on resources, but mastering engine power alongside localised avionics is how true aerospace capability is built from the ground up. Excited to see this scale! #AfricaTech

Outgrowing your test site is the clearest proof that progress is real. 🧵👇🏾

[Ziko Abara @zikohercules]

This was just a brief test as it was already late. Huge improvement on engine power. Don't forget, this prototype is actually big; With an 8ft wingspan and weighing about 60kg, this is no toy⚠️
There's no space in this compound anymore for this project
It is now too loud, too fast & too powerful for this place (I don't want my neighbors to make me a topic at the next estate meeting🥲)

Also don't forget, every time we do a full test, the engine burns about ₦30k worth of kerosene ⚠️
R&D is no small thing
This is the update on our indigenous aerospace project development.
Work on the control computer system & further testing continues

Muslims are this, Muslims are that. Now all of you are comfortable being called shareholders in a business that was established by a muslim years back. 🌚

That's not even the point

Take a look at this women; well cultured, mannered, dress decently, and speak politely in a lower tone.

In a world where basic decency is rapidly declining, women like this are the best fit for inspiration and models and not the ones constantly dressing half naked on the internet.

Thank you!
