3D-printed prostheses sound great, so why aren’t we seeing more of them? There are five challenges to 3D printed prosthetics that are hindering their widespread adoption. https://www.engineeringforchange.org//3d-printed-prosthes/

For me, infrastructure is not just about building thingsit’s equally about the processes that shape the things that we build, the incentives and power structures that decide which infrastructure projects get prioritized, how those projects are funded, how different stakeholders get involved, and how they get maintained in the long term" - Laura Maher, Relationship Manager, Siegel Family Endowment. The Siegel Family Endowment has introduced a new way of looking at infra...structure from a "multi-dimensional" perspective in this fantastic brief. https://www.engineeringforchange.org//research-brief-plan/.
