Thank you to
Inboard Technology, our newest partner. It's been almost four years since I launched Santa Cruz Tech Beat and it truly takes a village! As always, I welcome your news, tips, event and job posts, and
partnership support.
Here's the news you need to know.
Payson McNett tells the wonderful story about how the Cabrillo College Fab Lab came to be. Remember Makersfactory? It's all related. Find out how Cabrillo has built (is building) a state of the art lab with technology for teaching/learning skills for 3D printing and scanning, laser cutting and engraving, vinyl cutting, and more.
We have news from two companies in the local genomics hub: Dovetail and Somagenics. (In February 2014, I published "
Six Companies to Watch in the Emerging Santa Cruz Biotech Hub." The emerging hub is more solid now. Perhaps it's time for an update.)
It's not always good news. Some companies with a local foothold close up shop or leave town, and it's often difficult to get a statement -- or any information at all -- when this happens. Which company is the latest to leave town?
As usual, there's more, so scroll down and start reading!
