… and I still can’t tell you exactly how (or why). But if you can tell me the how and the why, I’m all ears!

Hi there! Thanks for choosing to visit this page, and my blog. My name is Ashish, and I'm a bit of a wanderer when it comes to vocations. I'm not quite sure what I want to do with my life, and I'm not even sure that it is any one single thing. But I know I like knowing about a lot of things, as many as possible. I know I like bike rides, I know I like the city I was born (Pune) and I know I like reading and writing. Feel free to drop me a line if you feel like a chat - I'll look forward to it. Cheers!

Here’s the Why:
“When you’re 3D-printing a tissue culture on the ground, there’s a tendency for them to collapse in the presence of gravity,” he says. “The tissues require some sort of [temporary, organic] scaffold to hold everything in place, especially with cavities like the chambers of a heart. But you don’t have those effects in a micro-gravity environment, which is why these experiments have been so valuable.”
