All engine running.

Actually genius.

Get this.

Welcome.

This is the show where we bring science.

What that essentially means is discovery is

advances, research, technology, unbelievable.

Without further ado, this is the naked scientist.

Hello, welcome to the naked scientist.

This is the show where we bring you the latest breakthroughs in science, technology and medicine

with me Chris Smith and coming up what the structure of your retina reveals about your risk of developing

a range of different diseases have we finally cracked how the first biological cells appeared

four billion years ago or so, and how Ponskateers survive potentially lethal run-ins with big raindrops.

From Cambridge University's Institute of Continuing Education,

this is the Naked Scientists. Now first this week a new study has found that the structure of the retina at the back of the eye can reveal a host of different diseases that a person

is at risk of developing.

By using machine learning to marry up changes seen in retinal images with health and genetic data taken from tens of thousands of people who participated in the UK's biobank study.

Mass Iron Ear Hospital ophthalmologists, Mariam Zekevat, and Nasley Zebedast, think that they have come up with a way of using

the retina to see what a person's future health looks like.

In recent years, we have come to realize that we can find out a lot more information from images of the eye than we ever thought was possible.

And it's opened up this really exciting area of research.

And we were fortunate enough to have access to an incredible resource, specifically a large, large study
