1. President Trump:

   Suppose that we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light and I think you said that it hasn't been checked and you're going to test it, suppose you can bring the light inside the body.

2. Adam Friedman:

   Since UV [ ultraviolet ] light is a carcinogen, now there's no reason to put one at risk for skin cancer, skin aging and even immune suppression.

3. Martin Weinstock:

   It’s not the burn itself that affects the skin cancer risk, it’s the sun exposure that’s associated with that burn, the ultraviolet radiation that’s absorbed by the skin is what raises the risk.

4. Caroline Kurtz:

   JTACs — they’re only going to use it for writing, so red lights are going to be best for them because they don’t want it to interfere with their night vision, but let’ssay the PJs,on the other hand — maybe they want one that has ultraviolet light so that blood is now visible, or maybe they want one with infrared so that they could signal to each other. So there are all these different options on the light spectrum that we can play on depending on the mission.

5. Martin Cordiner:

   The diffuse ISM was historically considered too harsh and tenuous an environment for appreciable abundances of large molecules to occur, prior to the detection of C60, the largest known molecules in space were only 12 atoms in size. Our confirmation of C60 + shows just how complex astrochemistry can get, even in the lowest density, most strongly ultraviolet-irradiated environments in the Galaxy.
