This rare little moment of absolute delight kills me.
Because this is Bucky remembering, and delighting in the memory. Itâs not the endless faces of the people heâs killed, or his abusers, or the world turning to ice in the cryochamber.
Itâs a tiny, ridiculous memory. Not something he read in a newspaper or saw in a museum. Itâs his own memory of Steve.
meanwhile is that sebastian or bucky who knows either way his expression is pure âplease humor himâ âwelcome to my worldâ âitâs like this every dayâ
No, that is NOT what this is. Youâve taken an amazing medical invention, a total game changer, and made up some stupid, faux-deep sentence fragment for it that is a complete falsehood. You should be embarrassed and ashamed, honestly.
This is a ghost heart. What theyâve done is taken a pig heart and stripped it down to, basically, a cell framework that they can use to BUILD A NEW HEART UPON. You could inject stem cells into this framework so that a newly formed personalized heart can be transplanted into a donor with a significantly reduced chance of rejection. FUCKING AMAZING. Itâs not been done with human tissue yet, but the promise this given to people who need hearts – or kidneys or livers or whatever – is beautiful. Science is beautiful.
And itâs IMPERATIVE to mention that a woman, Doris Taylor, at the Texas Heart Institute developed this. And she started with a rat heart and worked up to he bigger, more complex (and more human) pig heart. What a total bad ass.
So look, quit making shit up, learn to do a reverse image search on stuff you find on the internet, and STOP ERASING WOMEN IN SCIENCE.

The corrected information
WOMEN IN SCIENCE
The fact that rejection rate would be LESS which is VITAL
AM: You know itâs fun, the three of us. Itâs really great when you come around to people after a year, a year and a half, even two years and itâs like one minute hasnât passed. Chris and Sebastian really have a way of working hard, and being smart and humble, and not letting ego or any of this hollywood stuff get in the way of whatâs important. Thatâs something I admire and work towards as well. So itâs just always fun to work together.
