Seventeen years ago, cell biologist Donald Ingber and his colleagues at Harvard University’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering submitted a paper to the journal Science describing their model human lung. It was smaller than a USB stick and made of a clear polymer slab containing narrow channels, which were lined with the type of cells that line a lung’s air sacs and blood vessels. When air was pumped through hollow chambers beside the channels, the device rhythmically expanded and contracted—it “breathed.” This lifelike movement was a dramatic change from previous generations of lung models, which typically used static cultures of lung tissue that were unable to simulate the movements essential to lung function. When exposed to inflammatory proteins and bacteria, Ingber’s artificial lung reacted much as living lungs would. And exposure to silica nanoparticles used to mo

Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) and Transit-Oriented Developments (TOD) Image TOCs are the areas around transit hubs where housing, jobs, services, and businesses can thrive in a growing community.

"Digger" isn’t funny. It’s nervy, in your face, audacious, adventurous, and bizarro in a free-swinging, out-of-the-box way.

"Digger" borrows the doomsday architecture of "Strangelove" but leaves out the slyness, replacing it with a lavishly in-your-face spectacle of browbeating.
