Free tool: NIH 3D Model Library
We told you before about their new 2D library, but did you know they have a 3D library complete with 3D printing-ready files? From #labhack-style sample prep pieces to full color models you can use for outreach or teaching, it’s extensive. If you have something you made yourself, upload it to share! These models are centered on biological topics like organs, viruses, bacteria, and proteins.
Just for fun: Science Cartoon
The darkest depths of its secrets are just starting to become apparent. RIP NIH.

February behind-the-scenes news:
Thank you to NREL!
We heard from the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) that they bought and tested many lab coats from around the internet, and ours were the consensus favorites! They have since ordered over 600 lab coats to outfit their researchers in Colorado 😃. It’s inspiring that they not only cared enough to test several options in their labs, but also care about their employees enough to purchase gear that’s more expensive than what they’ve historically used. Our hope is that they love their lab work just a little more, work comes more effortlessly, and they come up with advancements to help get us out of this CO2 hole we’ve dug ourselves in.
