I love the variety of styles and customizability. It’s really impressive to see some of the designs people have over at reddit.com/r/unixporn . I want to jump in but then realize how much of a time sink it can be.
3D printing any mildly complex tissue is a huge challenge. Let alone getting that printed tissue to function in vivo. Almost all press releases like this one will hype that things are just around the corner. The truth…
In other words, you have no downside. Create AGI and you win the game. Don't and you walk away with profit from the ride.
Sounds interesting. Out of curiosity, what company do you work for?
I think you are seriously underestimating the value of first hand experience conducting scientific research. It beats into you a mindset you can't get anywhere else. There are no books or manuals or docs to read and…
Currently decellularized matrix (being stuck to nature's blueprint as you say) is the best substrate for regenerating heart tissue. Artificial matrices we can create (including 3D printing) have nowhere near the…
That is incorrect. They are not repairing hearts unfit for transplant. They are using human hearts (that are unfit for transplant) as a source of decellularized matrix. That decellularized matrix is then used to re-grow…
They do. Porcine hearts are a more reliable, consistent, and easily obtainable source for decellularized heart matrix. It's a great tool for experiments to develop the technology. Transplantation however is a different…
Wow that redstate article is a stretch. Of course people against Trump for president don't want other people to vote for Trump.
This article is highly subjective. Yes NDT can make a whole lot of things boring if you'd rather not know how they work and prefer the mystery of not knowing or taking a different perspective (whether correct or…
Isn't this effectively what Aaron Swartz got in trouble for?
IRobot has a new hackable robot geared towards STEM education. It's basically a stripped down (read: vacuum-less) roomba you can hack on. www.irobot.com/create
What is your opinion on LabVIEW then? I find their graphical interface to programming to be incredibly limited.
That video is amazing. Thank you.
Don't they talk about this research in the original Freakonomics book?
I had never heard of the Wisdom 2.0 conference before reading this article. It sounds like corporate bible camp. If you've heard of that conference but not Mindfulness in Plain English, I'd recommend reading the latter.…
Thanks for posting this. I don't think your experience is uncommon. I have actually worked in two separate academic labs and both of the PIs exhibited some sort of sociopathic behavior (lacked empathy, were extremely…
I'd think this is because in a bad job market, people are sold the idea that getting an advanced degree will expand their opportunities later. Unfortunately not many people know that obtaining a PhD != easily finding a…
