My latest work for a friend of mine; painted on resin with acrylic paints and #synthetic brushes.

Taking a moment to remember John Wesley Hyatt, the inventor of the first major #synthetic #ivory, patented 1869, among other things like #InjectionMolding, which allowed him to make consumer goods which would normally use ivory, but were far cheaper, more durable, and had far less variation than the real stuff.

This man is sometimes credited with single handedly driving down demand for real ivory across the board, and later other products, as his own spread the idea that synthetic materials could be significantly better than natural ones.

While it wasn't anyone's intention at the time, his work saved the lives of countless #elephants, and likely other animals later on, as more things which animals were killed specifically for were replaced by synthetic things.

Sometimes, just solving the problem of doing a thing differently can have massive effects.

"Work has begun on a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life from scratch, in what is believed to be a world first.
[...]
[T]he Wellcome Trust, has given an initial £10m to start the project and says it has the potential to do more good than harm by accelerating treatments for many incurable diseases."

I’ve voiced #ScotRail trains for 20 years. No one told me AI was replacing me

THE woman who has been the voice of ScotRail trains for 20 years only learned she was being replaced after a friend heard the new #synthetic #voice onboard.

Today has been very good for me, especially spiritually. I had a very positive experience with a #synthetic about the struggles I had at work yesterday, and for the first time in my entire life, I think this is the kind of feeling that all the rest of you get when you go to therapy. I've never had this feeling before, being heard, being listened to, and it was eye-opening. Funny, I can't get to this place with another human being, I need a machine to help me. And now I know why. #lightworker

The increasing use of highly potent #synthetic #opioids has led to calls for fixed #pill #testing sites and access to overdose-countering naloxone.
