		<title>First Production Manipulator Shipped, Hecho en Chile, Printed with MakerBot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve followed us over the past couple years, you&#8217;ll know we have been slowly working on a MicroManipulator to allow you to do more precise neural recordings instead of just &#8220;blindly&#8221; inserting electrodes in a cockroach leg, cricket, or earthworm. We&#8217;ve had prototypes of manipulators for about as long as we&#8217;ve been in existence, [...]]]></description>
