Storing data in DNA is a possibility for large amounts of files and documents on a small physical object.  Scientists have managed to keep a liver 'alive' without a human host for 24 hours, meaning that transplants can now be more successful.  And the global gene pool of the giant squid has been found to smaller than initially assumed. 

This first image is from an editorial about the evolutionary benefits of being kind and working together. A very interesting article in New Scientist actually which examines the idea that kindness and generosity - as well as extreme evil - are seen very rarely in other animals, only human.  This one is the basis of a small test animation I will be doing based loosely around an educational e-book about Space.
