#HalfPint What we’re missing is a scaffold which is fine for burgers, but not for steak. We’re about 10years away from enjoying a piece of steak. Gelatin is now being used as a potential scaffold. #DYK Cultured meat uses <5% water when compared to traditional meat production

#HalfPint2019 Eating meat will simply not be sustainability. Just because something is plant-based, doesn’t mean that it’s helpful. We’re now seeing the development of cultured or lab grown meat.

#HalfPint2019 what’s the beef with 3D printing? The controversy around the printing of guns gets more attention than the good work that is happening within the sector

@pintofscienceZA is a great opportunity for researchers to communicate their science to the public. We encourage all MBHG staff and students to attend this event to refine their #Scicomm skills and learn more about the drug development industry, a key area in TB drug discovery
Pint of Science ZA@pintofscienceZA

On 22 May, we'll be exploring what it takes to develop a new drug and bring it from the bench to the bedside with @jgwoodland! #PintSA19 @jgwoodland is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Drug Discovery and Development Centre, #UCT Tickets available here qkt.io/WKOnZu
