On April 25th we'll be heading to the Imaginarium at I-Square to hear more about Biology and the Age of Technology. Fernando Ontiveros, will be presenting his research on 3D printing tissue to use in organ transplant. He will discuss how it is possible and his efforts on making it a cost-effective practice. We will also have a team of student researchers from @rittigers presenting their findings in Gulf War Illness, which affects over 200,000 veterans. This team will take you on an organ-by-organ tour of the body and how it is affected by the illness. They will examine causes and factors that may be responsible for the illness.

Night 2 will be on April 24th @hoganshideaway. Our speakers Gordon Broderick and Gary Skuse team up to uncover research exploring the human body as if it were a computer, and how "system failure" can lead to chronic pain and fatigue. Together, they will present research on how & why this happens and how to rebalance the complexities of the human immune system. Your ticket purchases your first drink after check-in.

taste of science comes to #Rochester #newyork for the first time in 2018. This nationwide festival brings scientists out of their labs, away from their computers and in from the field to your favorite hangouts. At SSRN, an international research repository, we’ve partnered with taste of science to do what we do best - share the research. During the last week in April, Rochester will be one of the many cities holding events in cafes, bars, and other venues near you. We’ll be bringing you #scientists talking about everything from #3dprinting organs, to saving species at the edge of #extinction. Tickets cost just $3 and your first drink is on your friends at SSRN! For more information and to book your place, head to tasteofscience.org/rochester. Then come out and meet your friendly neighborhood #scientists! #scicomm #sciencefestival #research #science #actuallivingscientist #tasteofsci #fun #beer #coffee
