Opportunities in China have generated high expectations from the elders and potential spouses of this new professional class.
China produces 600,000 engineering graduates every year. A former Google product manager thought hiring a good engineer would be easy when he launched his startup, Julu Mobile, in China in 2011. He learned hiring the best wouldn’t be easy.
“Our problems are not caused by a shortage of scientists and engineers.”
Recently, Slate published an article on science and technology education in the U.S. The title: “America Needs More Scientist and Engineers.”

Tissue engineers create artificial blood vessels on a 3D printer.
Tissue engineers are building a handful of new body parts, from intestines to tracheas — but progress on larger organs has been slow. This is mainly because tissues need nutrients to stay alive, and they need blood vessels to deliver those nutrients. It’s difficult to build those vascular networks, but now a team from Germany may have a solution: Print some capillaries with a 3-D printer.
