Read this article on Mark Girolami (Warwick), now Lloyd’s Register Foundation / Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Data Centric Engineering, who is starting a new project on the monitoring of the first 3D-printed bridge, soon to be installed in Amsterdam, by creating a virtual twin, fed by sensors from the real bridge, in order to check for safety and integrity. I like this notion of data-centric engineering! (Which sounds like the revenge of the statistician, at least in the ancient era of French engineering schools, when statistics was not considered a part of engineering.)

would you walk this bridge with Mark?!

And saw this row of brains, printed by 3D printers, rather than standing in jars. (Like Abe Normal’s.) Which produced brain shadows, not commonly seen otherwise!
