Two things from this site that I want to/will be using in the future.

1. http://labhacks.tumblr.com/post/62420107780/the-25-scrunchable-scientific-poster One of the major pains of presenting a poster at a scientific meeting is keeping it from getting damaged in transit. With a fabric poster, I no longer have that issue. Hell, I don't even need to use a tube! Just fold or scrunch that thing up and it can fit in my suitcase.

2. http://derisilab.ucsf.edu/index.php?page=3D I didn't really care about 3-D printing either way until I discovered all the useful tools I could make. These include standard tools I can purchase, or custom things that don't exist. I've been looking to make some custom tool storage systems for my dissection kit, and I just realized how easy this would be with a 3-D printer.

OH MY GOD I love the fabric poster! That's brilliant, and it's cheaper than what the print lab at school charges for poster paper! Thanks Kai!

After two posters, you could make a dress out of them! After six, you could make a bedspread!

Clothing from scientific posters. That is the nerdiest thing I've heard all day, and I nerd for a /living/.

One scientific poster would be about the right size to make an ankle-length skirt... just sew it into a tube, fold over the top to make a pocket for the elastic, add elastic, bam.

Then that's settled. My future posters will all be fabric, and when I'm done explaining, I will wear them.

That is going to be AWESOME!

I'm thinking, I'll sew two back-to-back, leave a head hole and arm holes, belt it... SCIENTIFIC PEASANT DRESS.

And then you must take pictures. For science, of course.
