We're moved in! Three work stations are in place with lots of shelving for tools, products in prep, and our growing 3D printer farm.

Public funding for science is a small investment we all make with a huge return in higher paying jobs, healthier lives, new cures, more competitive businesses, a higher quality life, and the opportunity for a small business like ours to grow from an idea to selling products around the world. (3/3)

3D Anatomy Studios @3danatomystudios.com · 08/03/2025

And much of the data we *need* to develop our products comes from publicly funded research, like the Visible Human Project funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These are public domain data, paid for and owned by the people and for the benefit of all people. (2/3)

Our US-based small business wouldn't exist if it weren't for US government funding of science. Thanks to govt funding as graduate students & researchers, we gained skills that put us at the forefront of product innovation in our field. (1/3) #standupforscience2025 @standupforscience.bsky.social

Shark jaws don't just open and close. Dogfish sharks can protrude and retrude their upper and lower jaws (green) and use their "hyoid arch" (purple) to expand their throat and generate suction. #sharks #anatomy #jaws #education #design #vertebrate #science
