Have a Tat Habitat
from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni
Engineers at MIT have developed a temporary tattoo that’s 3-D printed with living ink. The tattoo is made up of bacterial cells that are genetically programmed to light up when exposed to different types of stimuli. Jeff and Anthony discuss the usefulness of a living tattoo and whether they'd want to get all inked up for science. GET BONUS EPISODES, VIDEO HANGOUTS AND MORE.
