We caught up with Paul Blainey earlier this week to get a sneak preview of his upcoming Midsummer Nights’ Science lecture, which he will give on July 11. Paul’s talk will be about a suite of miniaturized, lab-on-a-chip technologies that could mark a renaissance or industrial revolution (or both!) in the study of biology. Listen to Paul’s brief description of this new technology in the video below and if you’re in town, be sure to register for his lecture and others in the series here (and if you’re not in the Cambridge area, follow along at #broadtalks Wednesday night or watch the full video which will be posted on our site the following week).
