I would like to add that even if you are a leader that creativity and ideas is not your strongest point...ask your staff.  They will always have ideas on how to make the work environment more fun, engaging, interesting, and motivating.

Artificial Jellyfish Built from Rat Cells: Scientific American

Artificial Jellyfish Built from Rat Cells: Scientific American | this curious life | Scoop.it
The reverse-engineered life form could be used to test drugs...

 

“Morphologically, we’ve built a jellyfish. Functionally, we’ve built a jellyfish. Genetically, this thing is a rat,” says Kit Parker, a biophysicist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who led the work. The project is described today in Nature Biotechnology.

 

Parker’s lab works on creating artificial models of human heart tissues for regenerating organs and testing drugs, and the team built the medusoid as a way of understanding the “fundamental laws of muscular pumps”. It is an engineer’s approach to basic science: prove that you have identified the right principles by building something with them.'
