So as of this morning, the AoJE Indiegogo Fundraiser hit our target of $5,000.00

And it was brilliant. So THANK YOU :)

When we started planning the Indiegogo, I came up with the idea of the incentive videos to help motivate viewers, in the case that we got stuck trying to gain funding.

As the…

There’s a poem in the way your eyelashes touch your cheek.
There’s a poem in the spun webs that catch the dew and
One in the sparkle of wind chimes
And the light caught in the rain, caught in the headlights moving too fast.

There’s a poem, buried deep in the graves

Art of the Day: I’ll Cross The Sky For You

Tools: Pencil and watercolor on watercolor paper // Edited on PSCS5

So I posted a snippet of this artwork on Twitter and Rainbow saw it and we had a little bit of exchange and it was EVERYTHING. There are bits of this drawing that were cut because I drew this on a paper larger than my scanner can accommodate, but I guess those are the little pieces that I can keep for myself.

P.S. Rainbow, I will still send you the unwatermarked-but-still-signed version of my drawings because you rock.

Meet Lauren. She is incredible.

It was “Dinner”, episode 12. There’s a painting that you see on the wall between Jane and Rochester when they are talking.

I misplaced my camera tuesday night. These past few weeks have given me a lot of food for thought.

Part One of this video could have been titled, “Rochester and the male gaze.” Like most of the awesomeness with this show, it was subtle. But I’m pretty sure it was there, and intentional.

It kind of reminded me of the use of the painting on the wall in the dinner scene way back when. So much of the show is rated G, or at most PG, that when there’s a reference, even an oblique one, to something that’s not it carries that much more weight.

So last night because of the fiftieth anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination I watched “Parkland,” and it was actually really good and I highly recommend it.

I think the best part of the movie is when the Secret Service finally gets to see the Zapruder film after it’s quickly developed following the shooting. When Kennedy is struck, there’s a collective gasp throughout the room, and the shock is just strange. I mean, understandable, of course, but at the same time those of us who weren’t alive then and have seen the Zapruder film aren’t as affected by it anymore. It’s unsettling to watch, yeah, but we’ve seen it probably dozens if not hundreds of times by now. Imagine what that was like to see it the first time. No wonder even experienced Secret Service agents would be freaked.

It made me think of 9/11, and how on the fiftieth anniversary there are going to be so many people alive who weren’t alive at the time to know just what it felt like to see that second plane hit the tower. I wasn’t kidding when I said the other day that no matter how many documentaries I watch about 9/11, the one thing I notice is that if you watch amateur videos of the second plane hitting, nearly every video has someone saying, “That’s terrorism! It’s terrorists!” Because up until that point you could convince yourself that it wasn’t — that it was another bomb, that it was an accident, that it was a regular fire.

The way “Parkland” treats that part of the story is really telling. The Secret Service is just hoping there’s clear evidence on that film. Zapruder knows better. He filmed a murder, and an incredibly violent one at that. He filmed someone’s beautiful wife crawling onto the back of a convertible to recover a piece of his skull just in case. He knows something the Secret Service doesn’t, even those who were there. He caught everything, and everything he caught was awful.

It all just reminds me of that sequence in “Titanic” when Bodine is enthusiastically explaining the sinking through computer simulation and at the end Rose says, “Thank you for that fine … forensic analysis, Mr. Bodine. The experience of it was … somewhat different.”

I also watched Parkland recently, not knowing much about the film, and was really affected by it. Paul Giamatti as Zapruder is, well, Paul Giamatti as anyone: amazing. The sequence of him actually taking the film, where they just show him (Zapruder), and nothing of what he was filming, was kind of breathtaking and horrifying at the same time. And that was all him, the actor, working with the audience’s pre-existing knowledge of what he was seeing.

Would definitely recommend.

3D printing with stem cells could lead to printable organs

A potentially breakthrough 3D-printing process using human stem cells could be the precursor to printing organs from a patient’s own cells.

Some day in the future, when you need a kidney transplant, you may get a 3D-printed organ created just for you. If scientists are able to achieve that milestone, they may look back fondly at a breakthrough printing process pioneered by researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland in collaboration with Roslin Cellab, a stem cell technology company.

The printer creates 3D spheroids using delicate embryonic cell cultures floating in a “bio ink” medium. They end up looking like little bubbles. Each droplet can contain as few as five stem cells. Basically, this comes down to the printer “ink” being stem cells rather than plastic or another material.

Dr. Will Shu is part of the research team working on the project. “In the longer term, we envisage the technology being further developed to create viable 3D organs for medical implantation from a patient’s own cells, eliminating the need for organ donation, immune suppression, and the problem of transplant rejection,” Shu said in a release from Heriot-Watt.

Perhaps most importantly, the stem cells survived the printing process and remained viable. Shu says this is the first time human embryonic stem cells have been 3D printed. Printing out organs may be far down the line, but it’s just one potential application. The method could also be used to print out human tissue for drug testing.

The research results have just been published in Biofabrication under the title “Development of a valve-based cell printer for the formation of human embryonic stem cell spheroid aggregates.”

While things like 3D-printed Mobius bacon strips and crazy pointy shoes are a lot of fun, it’s applications like this that could really turn 3D printing into a world changer.

I don’t think this is “could be” scenario. This IS happening right now, and we absolutely will be using 3D-printing technology in this way, probably sooner than we even expect.

Fucking hell science is amazing and I want to squish and hug those people so hard for being so amazing ok.

Yeah, this needed to be reblogged.

The Indiegogo campaign is at $3200 of the $5000 CAD goal as of something like 2 hours into the campaign. Pretty cool.
