This is looking increasingly likely - here's a recent nature paper showing these organoids are electrically active, recording spikes from a dense 256ch electrode. That team also was able stimulate optogenetically yielding bidirectional

Overdraft lines of credit are definitely a thing and can be arbitrarily large depending on the account holder. My bank keeps trying to sell me this, I don't see why this would be a good idea. Does anyone here use this? Also, one time o

Surely you mean wet lab facilities? Otherwise, even in Cambridge (where commercial rents range from $35/sqft/yr to $80 (Google HQ in kendall), your per-employee office expenses ($400-$1000/mo) are hardly a limiting factor com

There is super work going on in your camp, kudos! I really appreciated your review of fluorescent imaging in NHP, which is absolutely going to be, along with advancements in implantables, a major enabling tech for prosthetics. In our lab, w

No question. Find the right person and the value of the relationship goes up with time and trust. I suppose that's why it's not uncommon to hear about folks with 30+ years with the same secretary.

I don't often post here, but this is close to my heart. A few years ago, my team started making noises that we needed a company secretary and I needed an assistant. That rang true to me, but I had zero concept of what this person might

Unfortunately, it's very hard to identify the exact camera position, since alignment of foreground objects can be matched from different positions at the expense of matching the original perspective. Old cameras had huge imaging plates

Betahouse sounds familiar but I don't think I ever visited. Cambridge is home to a number of culture driven coworking spaces, which are excellent. Pirate ship is a good example of a tight nit group. Perhaps the biggest is Industry L

Here is some rumor I found that rings true but is really disappointing (if real) http://bitsndollars.blogspot.com/2015/05/inside-21s-plans-to... The tldr is that Balaji and 21e6 have done nothing more interesting

It's funny to me that I had to scroll to the actual last comment to find what I suspect is the right answer.

I invite you to work on a project that is managed this way. The answer to your question will become clear.

I'm surprised no one here is talking about flow down terms. We have never made any partner or contractor or employee sign NDAs for disclosing 100% internal material, but it only takes one partnership with a fortune 500 (and we have a b

I would add Project Ara to this list. The technologies being developed to make the modular phone (eg network on a board with UniPro) has the potential to drastically change the way companies design and fab all sorts of electronic devices.
