Bioprinting Can Do What?
Bioprinting Can Do What?
BY FRANCISCO CARRILLO-VILLAGRANA AND MIA FEINSILBER
No longer just science fiction, bio-printing can solve a lot of important social problems like creating organs, helping us produce homes, and even make food. Tune in to learn more about all that bioprinting can do and how!
This episode was produced as part of a freshman seminar on Science Communication taught by Angel Kaur during Fall 2020 at UNC Asheville.
