Susan Dodds’s article, “3D Printing Raises Ethical issues in medicine,” mentions that 3-D bioprinting is tailored to the medical treatment of a person which is also known as “personalized medicine.” The approach relies on understanding a person’s genetic profile and is considered an extension of traditional approaches, since “personalized medicine” is used to identify and manage health problems. The traditional approaches lead to disparities regarding the rich and the poor, since patients who…

As a graduate student, I assisted in the oversight and maintenance of the print studio, mentored the undergraduate print organization, and proposed and managed a communal studio print night where undergraduates could come assist me with printing and vice versa. In addition, I mentored international graduate students in the photography darkroom, lighting studio, and digital output studio. Moreover, as an undergraduate, I worked in the photography laboratory where I oversaw and maintained…

Buck Press considers processes and procedures out-side these established procedures as modifications that must be brought under control. This formalization is pushed by efficiency; reduction in variance increases predictability, and increases in predictability allow for improvements…

can really be considered a milestone is the Gutenberg Printing Press. For most inventions, there were always forerunners, idea-givers, and creators that inspire great ideas.

This was the process that Gutenberg used in his Printing Press. The Gutenberg Printing Press impacted the world in multiple ways, thus…

The dissemination of information in these forms had many influences, one of which was the Church. According to Mr. Broedel, during the Middle Ages, if an individual was not a part of the clergy, they were more than likely illiterate (Broedel,…

Effects of Bioprinting Processes While each method of bioprinting has its advantages and disadvantages, bioprinting as a whole is very helpful to society [16]. The areas of focus that considered when choosing a bioprinting method include faster production time, costs, and efficiency of material usage. The laser-induced method can be used to create organs for pharmaceutical companies. These organs are then put through multiple tests before going onto clinical trials. By doing this, drugs…
