I learned a ton this afternoon with Prof. @craigrforest, both about miniature robotic neuroscience instrumentation *and* about the origin of @inventureprize, our incredible student-run maker spaces, and @gtcreatex which, together, have ignited the innovation culture of our campus

Grad students in @craigrforest's Precision Biosystems lab have created this Twitter bot, @patcherbot, that automatically posts robotized patch clamp recordings from live brain tissue... even more surprisingly, hundreds of people follow it! Why, you ask? I guess #WeCanDoThat 🐝🧠
