We keep hearing about 3D printing advances in the medical industry, and today we have a story of printing a skull and tumor based on MRIs. Blind Five Year Old, aka AJ Kohn, drops knowledge on Google search autopredict. I know it looks like SEO, but AJ always goes very deep so that it is more like science. Lastly, in a bit of “company promotion”, the employer and HCP do some cool work for EPUB3 generation and open source it.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
