A biofabrication experiment could need incubators, bioreactors, and a team to run it all. In space, everything shrinks to shoebox-size, with no lab technician on board. Miguel Ferreira explains how at last year’s @horizoneu.bsky.social PULSE Summer School. ▶️ pulse-eic.eu/miguel-ferre...

Launch delays happen often. When your cargo is living tissue, every extra week matters. 📅 PhD students Cynthia Van Rompay & Emil Rehnberg (SCKCEN) explain: keeping organoids alive isn’t hard — keeping them dormant for 7 to 14 days before launch is. Rewatch the talk at pulse-eic.eu/cynthia-van-...
