Chip “Sees” in 3D to Diagnose HIV, Leukemia
Inexpensive, portable devices that can rapidly screen cells for leukemia or HIV may soon be possible thanks to a chip that can produce three-dimensional focusing of a stream of cells, according to researchers. “HIV is diagnosed based on counting CD4 cells,” says Tony Jun Huang, associate professor of engineering science and mechanics at Penn State. “Ninety percent of the diagnoses are done using flow cytometry.”
Huang and his colleagues designed a mass-producible device that can focus particles or cells in a single stream and performs three different optical assessments for each cell. They believe the device represents a major step toward low-cost flow cytometry chips for clinical diagnosis in hospitals, clinics and in the field.

“As I Walked Out One Evening” by W.H. Auden
Read by Tom Hiddleston.
I just sat here open-mouthed for like 10 minutes before I mustered enough can to reblog this. I know what it is like to be unmade.
He needs to stop reading. His voice was made for that, damn it. Why can’t a professor possess such voice? Subjects would make sense!!!
Stop it.

seeing him again:
“STOP FOLLOWING MEE”

“omg”
“That comic was hilarious!”
“Drawing him is kindda fun!”
**reads the pasta**
“I”M GONNA MAKE THIS INTO A SHORT COMIC!!”
“I AM A JEFF THE KILLER FANN!!!”
now when i see him:
“hey jeff whats goin on”

So I was listening to this fucking nightmare fuel version of Avenged Sevenfold’s A Little Piece of Heaven and for some reason was reminded absurdly of Jeff the Killer
So I tried to draw him
GO TO SLEEP.
