Don't miss out on a distinct conference experience encompassing Cybersecurity, Healthcare, and Biotechnology. See you there!
Hey there #HCI, #accessibility, #dictation, #biotech- seeking a good dictation software for an elderly family member. We've gotten some good mileage out of the native Win11 Dictation software but curious if there's some good alternatives that aren't too rough on the wallet.
Use-case is for my uncle (psych professor) who has a condition where he can no longer type/write.
🦠 Mad Scientist Gets Doom Running on E. Coli Cells
— Futurism
"The MIT student then combined her bespoke genetic system with some bespoke Python code and let it rip — though in this case, rip may not be the right word, because it took about 70 minutes for the cells to illuminate and a whopping eight hours for return to a blank frame. To play an entire game of Doom at that rate, per Ramlan's calculations, it would take approximately 600 years."
I’m excited to have burning questions about biotech textile innovation, scalability, recyclability, and much more answered by Modern Meadow CEO, Catherine Roggero-Lovisi.
As Fafafoom Studio Newsletter enters its second year of publication, I look forward to offer more content beyond my monthly artist life updates. Happy belated 2024, Fashion Social peeps!
As someone living with #BreastCancer this highly effective small wearable ultrasound device that allows a user, with no prior tech education, to easily check for very small early stage tumors from the comfort of their home is an extraordinarily welcome innovation. Let us all hope it is quickly widely adopted after safety & efficacy regulation approvals. https://news.mit.edu/2023/wearable-ultrasound-scanner-breast-cancer-0728
🦾 Tiny robots made from human cells heal damaged tissue | @Nature
「 Scientists have developed tiny robots made of human cells that are able to repair damaged neural tissue. The ‘anthrobots’ were made using human tracheal cells and might, in future, be used in personalized medicine 」 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03777-x
The multicellular bots move around and help heal “wounds” created in cultured neurons. Scientists at Tufts and Harvard made tiny biological robots called Anthrobots using human tracheal cells. These tiny robots move and, in the lab, help neurons grow in damaged areas. The researchers hope to use similar biobots made from...
Stable shelf life is incredibly important for food distribution around the world and reducing overall food waste.
Similar to non-browning features in other crops like the Arctic Apple, Japanese scientists at Tsukuba University have used CRISPR to knockout an ethylene production gene responsible for fruit ripening.
#Newswire: Icelandic molecular farming company ORF Genetics hf. and South Korean company SeaWith Inc. announce a partnership to boost the production of cell-cultured meat using ORF’s animal-free growth factors made from barley.

“If you try to change what is meaningful that has a different set of values or ethics, that’s treated as rebellion or trouble-making rather than a hygienic sense of innovation.” - The Manual of Design Fiction
Mhm. Why #AI is seen as "innovation" because it doesn't challenge the values of capitalism, rather it accelerates it. But #solarpunk is rebellion or (good) trouble because it says "Sure, let's use tech, but #biotech and #upcycling and anything that builds a more #sustainable world."
