grats on not producing all out of pocket

[@chrissgoalie]

Not gonna lie -- when this series was announced, I did not expect 'Biomedical Research' to be one of the topics

[@ancientswordrage]

I bet Matt didn't either

[@CompletelyNormal]

As a biomedical researcher, I certainly didn't.

[@charlotteadams2770]

I mean there was the park bench where Matt said he wanted to have a go in a research lab

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

One of these things is not like the others.

[@skull_is_dull]

I can’t believe how much the pacing and editing - especially the voice over parts - feels like something you would find on TV. But it’s on KZbin? For free? Incredible. I would definitely pay to watch this if I had to.

[@MattGrayYES]

You’re welcome to join my Patreon lol

[@charliespinoza1966]

Might be a good idea to support on patreon then, he’s only doing a limited run bc it’s not gotten enough traction. This series is incredible!

"What can I get my name written in next?" Next episode: Matt Gray is Trying: Skywriting

[@kleseus]

Ive seen a youtuber done this before. Idk, was it Tom himself. But Skywriting is what I thought aswell. Also, waves might work aswell (electronic waves).

[@EyalBrown]

"What can I get my name written in next?" isn't a bad YT series by itself, really

[@edwardphilibin3151]

**points giant laser at the moon**

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

[@kkkender]

But will the name ever soft-serve?

Me: “Wow, I’d sure like to watch Matt Gray do something interesting while I do my day job as a biochemistry researcher!” Matt: Does a video about my day job

[@markpitts5194]

Matt is a techy, thats why I like him. He also gets info over without being condescending, also why I like him. He is also the most over energiser bunny fuzz ball on the internet!

[@Dribbleondo]

Well he IS the bounciest man on the internet!

[@adamplace1414]

Very few things make me as happy as seeing someone get excited about learning.

[@Erisponsibility]

Your enthusiasm is infectious and this show is so well made! It reminds me of a lot of the great educational TV shows I watched growing up and would not be out of place alongside them!

[@adamengelhart5159]

@10:37: "This fume cupboard's made for shorter people than me, isn't it?" Fun fact: the kitchen that early US television chef Julia Child (6'2"/188 cm) used on her show was designed by her husband and had countertops two inches higher than normal to accommodate her height. The kitchen is in the Smithsonian today.

[@P3x310]

I would enjoy working in their kitchen so much more than my previous normal-human-sozed counters. My forehead has probably developed an indent the exact shape of my fume extractor hood's edge.

[@end.of.eternity]

As someone who had to literally wait for someone to die whilst on dialysis, this excites me tremendously with the possibilities of 3d printed kidneys which the body recognises as it's own.

[@SergioEduP]

Nice interrobang usage on the title! For some reason I didn't expect for the bio printers to just use Gcode on the back end, but I don't see why they wouldn't, it is so versatile!

[@dirtdart81]

I'm not in industry but built my own CMC and have fun with 3d printers, EVERYTHING comes down to gcode it seems

[@AndrewGillard]

Always love seeing an interrobang! 💜

[@amyshaw893]

To answer your question about getting pictures of the brain, you can use an MRI scan, and it's apparently not that hard, there's instructables for it and stuff. I kinda want to print my own brain in TPU just so I can literally punch it when I'm having a bad mental day

[@markpitts5194]

I feel ya !

[@perhapsyes2493]

Just hope it won't function like a voodoo doll

[@kiliankoe]

I literally got an MRI just a few days ago for the exact purpose of being able to print my brain (well from my side, for the other side I was partaking in a behavioral study), I'm so excited to get the data!

[@alucide]

Not sure If I'm supposed to mention other youtube channels here, but there is a youtuber out there that had her brain scanned because of a tumor. She used the data to build a paper shredder in the shape of her brain.

[@dirtdart81]

You're perfectly fine to mention Simone, that was a fun project too 😊​@@alucide

[@AMTunLimited]

Emily was absolutely charming! Always a joy to watch someone so passionate

[@arilebon]

Yes absolutely

[@P3x310]

All of them were, I really enjoyed this video and they delivered their knowledge very palatably and interestingly.

[@madaian369]

Christina and Albane are so cool 😍 I'm so impressed and amazed to get a glimpse of what the future could be like!

[@mayeejun]

The Hello Brain exhibition is small but absolutely worth a visit if you're near King's Cross on the right days.

[@markmarketing7365]

Very nice to see some exposure for this field! No kidding with the multidisciplinary remark. Microfluidics has allowed me, an electrical engineer, to do biochemistry. :D Currently doing research on developing chips for droplet-based microfluidics for new types of disease diagnostics. It's definitely a young field, which is sort of still building towards a possible (commercial) break-through, but just the scientific applications are already super interesting! :)) I expect to see big things once the practical aspects are worked out. Things such as standardisation of methods so that modules can be integrated into more complex systems.

[@jackielinde7568]

There's an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation in their second season, where Warf sustained a back injury, and Dr. Polasky "grew" a new spinal column. The process looks a lot like the optical 3D printer, except upside down. I've seen this in other SciFi shows and movies of the 1980s and 1990s. Even The Fifth Element had something similar, where bone was 3D printed, and everything else was grown in a matrix on the body.

[@pileofstuff]

The intro to Westworld has similar Sci-Fi versions of 3D printing. In their case, the extruder is on the end of an industrial robot arm. We're not that far away from those fiction technologies.

[@WizardOfDocs]

"What on Earth can I get it written in next?" how about on a punch card, either for an old computer or a knitting machine?

[@markhood]

Yeah, we need a sweater with the logo on it, I think!

[@keyofd]

I am working on my PhD in a lab developing DLP_SLA 3D printers (resin) specifically for microfluidics. You would be shocked at how small you can print channels. You can print systems with dozens pumps and valves and mixers on a chip that is only a few mm in each dimension. You can print channels that are as small as 2 microns in each dimension. That 25x smaller than a human hair!!!!

[@shambhav9534]

What is a um?

[@Divig]

Probably µm, micrometer. 0,000 001 m

[@keyofd]

Yup. One thousandth of a mm

[@shambhav9534]

@@keyofd Thought for a while it's some esoteric measurement, not realising that u was just a substitute for µ. Better just say micron, tbh.

[@thor_269]

This series is the English version of a German childhood science show called 'Willi Wills Wissen' (Willi wants to know) and it's I LOVE IT!

[@adamengelhart5159]

I know absolutely nothing about this show except for the title and your statement about it, but that's enough to make me certain that I would have *loved* it as a kid. 😀

[@InterrogatingTheCat]

That is an amazing title, that is all.

[@Itty-Bits]

i see the full name of this series is "Matt Gray is trying to get his name written everyway possible"

[@Pangloss6413]

Thank you for still being active on KZbin after all this time, Matt

[@nicreven]

In the best way possible, I feel like I'm watching the discovery channel at 9AM on a Saturday. The editing, the music in the back, the pacing, the excitement- this is just awesome

[@imoutodaisuki]

This series needs more views. KZbin, do your thing!

[@i.gaskoid]

I did not expect you to do something closely related to my field (bioinformatics, which the FCI also offers if anyone out there is interested in how biology and programming intersect)! As a bio nerd, I nerded out over this video so much. Great stuff.

[@Laogeodritt]

As someone involved in microfluidics, I am _very_ excited both to get a look at what the Francis Crick Institute is up to as well as see the field of research I work in get featured here. =3

[@gupdoo3]

I used to have a summer job as a lab assistant and seeing that dust-free bench immediately unlocked a lot of cleaning-related memories

[@ventusleone]

Good thing you posted in the comunity posts! Somehow this video had totally escaped my notice in the subscription feed!

[@Telliria]

That's my job too! I'm a research engineer at a department for biomedical engineering with a specialisation on microfluidics.😊 Though their lab looks fancier than ours. Great video, Matt!

[@autumn_west]

This was such a good video! I'm incredibly late to it (algorithm really didn't seem to want to push it my way, annoyingly) and I'm really sorry it's not been performing well, but you're an absolute marvel as a host, Matt! These really are such fascinating topics that you're trying and I can't wait for what you'll next do!

[@P0nyl0ve]

I'm commenting again because you should really do some marketing for this series! Idk how because I'm not an expert, but it saddens me to see this series get screwed over by the algorithm, while it is so good!!!

[@keyrousse]

Matt's enthusiasm is what I absolutely love about this series, and it's the best for me.

[@andreaedwards2518]

Such an enjoyable watch…for an over 60 low-techy person I understood exactly what you were talking about. Love the enthusiasm for everything you do. 😊

[@_mels_]

I'm sitting at work in my analytical chemistry lab and the lack of gloves in the intro is already bothering me 😂

[@iamlikemex]

I think one of the reasons Tom’s step back from his long running series doesn’t feel so evident is that you’re providing the content to fill the vacuum left behind. It’s not the same content, not the same style. You’ve established your own thing, yet it still scratches the itch

[@alj922]

Loved this video, really enjoying the slightly more long form where you get to hear experts talk about what they do

[@calmfulspider]

I love how happy Matt looks this entire video!! 😊

[@Graham_Rule]

I don't know why but I have a feeling that one night I'll be looking at the Moon and notice that it now has "Matt Gray is Trying" written on it. 😊

[@OneMewOverTheCuckoosNest]

Awesome video. Biomicrofluidics is my missus' area of research so I spent the entire video with extra (usually unprompted) commentary 😅 She absolutely loved it. My main take away though is about that office space it looks horrendous to work in!

[@cemace90]

'I tried sniffing sacks' 'I tried 3D printing with cells' 'I tried 3D printing body parts' 'I tried potentially life saving technology' 'I tried the future of transplants' 'This could save lives one day' What more could we ask for!

[@KaliTragus]

4:40 Figuring out the tool you need to do something is often more of a hurdle than doing it!

[@imalexand]

This is not where I expected you to go next! This series is turning out like the best sort of wikipedia hole.

[@stumcconnel]

That looks like a very cool place to work and, like you said, without videos like this, I bet very few people know that this kind of research even goes on!

[@sophiew757]

i love that now that Tom is producing exclusively emails, Matt has stepped into the TYMNK space.

[@Bru7hstudios]

I am not going to lie here, however, absolutely a fabulous video, Matt! Highly informative and delivered by you with a child like enthusiasm. You can see you were genuinely enjoying the whole experience, and that comes through in the presentation of the video. Keep up the hard work, Matt. This is going in a very good direction. Well done, sir.

[@bunny_kei]

This is one of my favorite series on KZbin right now. Really hoping Matt gets everything he needs as far as funding to keep doing it! :) Glad we've got a few more episodes though!

[@0xTJ]

Such cool and amazing research being done! I love the way different areas come together, mixing biology, 3D-printing, etc. And I'm also loving the variety in areas that this series has covered so far!

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

Love the use of an interrobang in the title 😂⁉️

[@witerabid]

I don't quite know why but my second instinct after reconstructive surgery was body modding and pointy ears and stuff... 😅 But I guess there are and will be for a while much cheaper methods for that. 🙈

[@abelnagy422]

I had this downloaded since its release and just got around to watching it, but man, what an interesting video!

I am a simple man. I see an interrobang in a title and I click. Then I saw it was Matt and got excited!

[@ethnev3719]

This is incredible -- I suspect performing not as well as it should because there's care not to hype it up as "3D printed hyperbrains coming next year!!", but I can see in the other comments that there's a core group of folks that are delighted by passionate and accurate coverage of impactful if slightly less sexy science, produced very well.
