Research Question and Steps
My curiosity for bioprinting centers around the question of: How do you print life without the help of mother nature? But after further research, my question has become more specific: How do you bioprint vascularization? This will be my research topic for the rest of the semester.
I am passionate about paper cutting, and that was the first thing that came to mind. I am hoping to create an explanation from my research in a visual paper cutting piece. However, I do not know how I am going to do that since most of my research will be heavy on the technical side.
To complete the deliverable, six major steps that I must take are:
1. Decide on a research topic to focus on. (Deadline: Wednesday, November 18)
Update: As seen above, I have decided on researching the question: How do you bioprint vascularization?
2. Research from at least five more resources regarding the topic. (Deadline: Monday, November 23)
