Wired has a story on science trends to watch in 2020.
- Stem cells are being used to grow mini-versions of all sorts of human organs, including hearts, kidneys and brains.
- advances in trying to detect dark matter
- the end of a key U.S tax credit for solar panels
- gene editing going mainstream in medical treatments, and newer, safer techniques evolving (pun intended, ha ha!)
- obvious bond villain Elon Musk launching satellites by the thousands. Also, private flights to the International Space Station.
- use of massive data sets in “personalized medicine”
