 Brennan Marsh-Armstrong is a 4th year medical student at University of\n  
  California San Diego School of Medicine\, where he also conducts\n   rese
 arch in medical simulation and development of affordable and\n   multi-mod
 ality medical training devices. Prior\, he worked as an\n   ophthalmology 
 researcher and computer science studying retinal\n   vasculature in diseas
 e pathologies at University of California David.\n   Before that\, he rece
 ived Bachelor of Arts at from Amherst College in\n   Biochemistry and Biop
 hysics\, and Computer Science while researching\n   unique phosphatase inh
 ibition mechanisms. In this upcoming year he\n   hopes to matriculate into
  an anesthesia residency where he will also\n   continue research on medic
 al simulation and education.\n\n   Description:\n   Anatomical medical sim
 ulators are an integral part of both medical\n   training and experimentat
 ion\, as well as implant biohacking. However\,\n   commercial models typic
 ally range from thousands of dollars for simple\n   one-piece designs to h
 undreds of thousands of dollars for\n   computer-visualized designs. This 
 cost limits the use of medically\n   accurate training models outside of w
 ell-funded medical schools. Using\n   only a 3D printer\, silicone\, balli
 stics gel\, balloons\, and yarn\,\n   I’ve built on the work of others t
 o develop DIY methods of mimicking\n   commercial medical simulators for a
  small fraction of their cost\n   (usually under 10%). These models can in
 clude pulsatile arteries\,\n   superficial rolling veins\, nerves\, skin\,
  muscle planes\, bones\, and\n   articulating joints. They are ultrasound-
 able\, recyclable\, and\, with\n   the addition of infrared tracking camer
 as\, can be integrated into\n   virtual environments for internal visualiz
 ation. Projects like this\n   lower the barrier to entry for citizen scien
 tists and less funded\n   biohackers to experiment and explore medical imp
 lants\, procedures\, and\n   ultrasound.\n   '\n\n   1. #FlamingoThirdFloo
