Many posts suggest the research could have substantial influence, especially regarding space exploration and protection against radiation, emphasizing its transformative potential.
Life around a Brown Dwarf star might evolve to use selenomelanin. It is a selenium-enriched variant of melanin, and would have a better chance at protecting organic beings from the frequent X-ray flares near such stars. https://t.co/sCxoPC6lCz https://t.co/kYiuRkkADl

@robinhanson One possibility mentioned in https://t.co/oz85uPjUTM is that melanin also works by quenching free radicals rather than catching radiation. Slightly contradicted by the radiation measurements, but there could well be a double effect.
