Another Zika Update & Quantum Physics Gamers

The video discusses recent research on the Zika virus, highlighting its impact on neural stem cells and potential links to microcephaly. Experiments show Zika's specific effects compared to dengue. Additionally, the video explores how citizen scientists contribute to quantum physics research through gamification, aiding in the development of quantum computers.

What was the significant finding about the Zika virus discussed in the first section?

• It is beneficial for brain development.

• It may lead to microcephaly in newborns.

• It has no effect on human cells.

• It can cause the common cold.

How did researchers confirm that Zika virus specifically affects brain cells?

• By comparing it with the flu virus.

• By testing it on adult brain cells.

• By comparing it with dengue virus.

• By observing its effects on skin cells.

What was the outcome of infecting cerebral organoids with Zika virus?

• The organoids grew larger than normal.

• The organoids showed no change.

• The organoids were 60% smaller than uninfected ones.

• The organoids developed into full-sized brains.

What is the role of non-experts in the quantum physics research discussed?

• They teach quantum physics to students.

• They solve quantum problems through games.

• They conduct laboratory experiments.

• They design quantum computers.

What is the purpose of the game 'Quantum Moves' in the research?

• To teach players about classical physics.

• To help solve quantum computing problems.

• To simulate the effects of Zika virus.

• To entertain players with no scientific value.
