“From Red Blood Cells to New Bio-Devices” will be discussed at the next Science Café meetings in Canton and Potsdam.
The café will be held Tuesday, Oct. 20, in the Parkview Common, above Blackbird Café, 107 Main St. in Canton
The second café is slated for Wednesday, Oct. 21, at the St. Lawrence Valley Roasters & Jernabi coffee house, 11 Maple St.
Both events take place at 7:15 p.m.
Red blood cells zip through micron-wide capillaries almost friction-free, surviving hundreds of thousands of passages during their nearly 120-days lifespan.
Join Clarkson University Assistant Professor of Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering Parisa Mirbod as she describes ongoing efforts to design new porous bio-devices -- a boon for such practical applications as underground oil recovery and biomedical slow drug delivery -- that are inspired by the amazing properties of the humble capillaries.
