So cool!
New pre-print from our lab! We report on the automation of the delicate process of bone removal in rodent cranial microsurgeries. Video shows robotic eggshell engraving & comparison to a manual attempt by an experienced surgeon. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Congratulations @BrianMSweis!!!
I believe this also marks your joining of a very small group of neuroscientists who get their R01 during residency, no?
So I believe double congratulations are in order!! 🥂
