What a fun night for #publichealth & #science yesterday! At sold out #CapeTown event, shared scientific thoughts & research learnings abt our planet #climatechange #flooding & #resilient communities. Thanks Pint of Science ZA Pint of Science World @michefrvntz Chantal Lailvaux for having me!

#DYK originally only 3 ingredients were used to make beer? These included water, malted barley and hops. #HalfPint2019

#HalfPint2019 #DYK until two years ago, Rochelle Dunlop was studying law and working as a waitress at Banana Jam Cafe. She shifted to brewing beer and this year has won Beer of the Year and Best Hoppy Beer for her Jungle Paradise IPA at the South African National Beer Awards!

#HalfPint2019 Dr Riyad Domingo, Co-Founder and CTO of SOUTH AFRICA MAKES chats past, present and future of #3DPrinting

#HalfPint2019 what’s the beef with 3D printing? The controversy around the printing of guns gets more attention than the good work that is happening within the sector

#HalfPint2019 #3DPrinting Eliud Kipchoge worked with Nike to combat the humidity and wet conditions that impacts marathon running. Working with Nike and using 3D printing, they were able to create the Nike Zoom Vaporfly Elite.

#HalfPint What’s needed for #BioPrinting? -Living or cultured cells -A scaffold (hydro gel) which guides the growth of the living cultured cells -Nutrient broth which contains everything the cells need -Bioreactor to mimic the perfect conditions for the growth of the cells

Second speaker is Riyad Domingo and it’s such a cool talk on 3D printing and all it’s great applications in wearables, clothing and food

#HalfPint2019 Eating meat will simply not be sustainability. Just because something is plant-based, doesn’t mean that it’s helpful. We’re now seeing the development of cultured or lab grown meat.

#HalfPint What we’re missing is a scaffold which is fine for burgers, but not for steak. We’re about 10years away from enjoying a piece of steak. Gelatin is now being used as a potential scaffold. #DYK Cultured meat uses <5% water when compared to traditional meat production

Our founder Dr. Riyad Domingo was recently invited to speak at the #HalfPintofScience event in Cape Town.⁣He spoke about the future of #additivemanufacturing far beyond plastic and metal and what it signifies for sport, health and food. #3D4D #4IR #Bioprinting #ThoughtLeader ⁣
