The Biotechnology students built Robo-Roaches today! They took specially bred cockroaches and preformed surgery on them to implant electrodes, which will allow them to control their motor functions (after a few days of recovery)! And don’t worry, the roaches are tough, they’ll have the equipment removed and be sent back to where they came from!
