L’Oreal wants to start printing human skin for testing purposes. I am contractually obligated to report all 3d printing news, as well as all dinosaur news. (via The Verge)
Speaking of, First dinosaur fossil found in Washington State! (via The ABC News)
3.3 million year old stone tools found in Kenya. (via Time)
The Bavarian State Opera has put out a casting call for a drag queen to lip synch scenes from Salome. I am not sure how I feel about this. (via slippeddisc, which, based on google translate, is reporting it wrong.)
