Watch a chick develop and hatch outside of the egg

Cracking an egg into a glass bowl and then watching the chick develop, grow, and hatch sounds like the most terrible idea ever. But this adorable and super-enthusiastic video from Japan shows that it can be done - and lets us watch the entire fascinating process first-hand.

If you’re anything like us, your first reaction to this is probably “What the eff is going on here?” and your second is, “Why the hell would anyone do this?”

The video doesn’t come with subtitles, so it unfortunately doesn’t give us many clues. But with the help of Sarah Caroline Bell over at The Huffington Post, we’ve done some digging, and it turns out the experiment is demonstration of technique developed in Japan a few years ago.

More on how that works later - but first, let’s get to the “why?” For years, scientists have been trying to find a way to gain access to baby chicks during development, not only to learn about the growth process, but also to study new regenerative medicine techniques, such as genetic engineering.

This would also be really important for the conservation of endangered birds. Not only could it allow researchers to save chicks when their eggs have been damaged, it could also lead to new options for bird IVF, or even growing vulnerable species inside surrogate eggs.

Although teams have successfully managed to create see-through eggs in the past, the hatching rates using those techniques has generally remained below 50 percent. (Source)

Visual Representation of Mental Disorders

Christian Sampson, a 21-year-old photographer from Peru, Indiana started taking photos around the theme of mental illness in 2014 for an advanced photography class.

“It actually started out as physical illnesses like cancer, but I wanted to create something that people struggled with every day but couldn’t see,” he tells The Huffington Post Canada. “I wanted the majority of people to relate to them.”

With limited resources, Sampson asked his friends to be his models and researched some of the most common mental disorders around the world. His work brought him down to 12 smaller topics, ranging from depression to schizophrenia to insomnia. In eight weeks, Sampson designed and photographed each shot, making sure his version of each disorder was accurate. (Source)
