MIT Builds A Needle-Free Drug Injector
npr.orgThe needle and syringe are icons of modern medicine.
But a device developed at MIT to squirt medicines quickly and pretty much painlessly through the skin suggests that the future of medicine could be needle-free.
The idea is to shoot an extremely thin, extremely fast jet of medicine straight through skin and into muscle. “It’s sort of like a laser beam,” project leader and mechanical engineering professor Ian Hunter tells Shots.
Toe // Topshelf
We’re thrilled today to announce something that is literally years in the making: We’ll be releasing Toe’s catalog on vinyl, worldwide, for the very first time ever!
Last fall, we released the band’s newest effort, The Future Is Now, on vinyl & CD — and we’ll be adding to that by releasing the following on vinyl as well:
- Songs, Ideas We Forgot
- The Book About My Idle Plot on a Vague Anxiety
- New Sentimentality
- For Long Tomorrow
Toe is a band that’s an absolute mainstay in our music collection, a staple of this niche (and well beyond), and one of the most important bands (to us, anyway) of the last decade so we’re pretty pumped about this, you guys!
We’ll have more details involving release dates, pressing info, pre-orders, etc. soon. Hope you’re all as excited as we are!
