A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants.
I’ve linked to a decent write-up on Tom’s Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too.

Lucky.
We have had full snow cover since mid-october here. But it has also been +3-5c most afternoons.
Although early snow often means warmer winter. And I can definitely handle the snow in QC better than the -40s I used to get in AB.
