The NIH Library is hosting the Scholarly Publishing Symposium: Elevate Your Research Visibility, on March 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Lipsett Amphitheater, Building 10, and via videocast.

The BioBot 1 is a desktop bioprinter that builds 3D tissues from cells. It has a dual extruder system that uses visible blue light to cure biomaterials without harming cells, and it has 100 um resolution.
