Check out this article featuring Varro Life Sciences and how open source fits into their business practices! It's so exciting to see more and more people take notice of the invaluable work they do!

Varro plans to make money while giving away its tech

The St. Louis-startup hopes its bet on open source principles will spawn a global community built around its biosensors.

This was one of my favorite talks at the conference, and it's worth watching!

We don't talk enough about the intersection of biomedical engineering and art, and Chacin's work (and that of her students) truly explores that space.
