Thrilled to share the first publication from my postdoc with Danielle Benoit ! 🎉 We show thiol-maleimide adducts cleave with radicals and use this mechanism to spatiotemporally pattern degradation in hydrogels formed by Michael addition! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Libby makes reading books on my phone so easy. If papers could be read in big, screen-fitting font on a phone, my backlog would not be so absurd. I would pay for for this app.

Good morning, Twitter community!

Based on the state politics in Texas: t.e2ma.net/message/n8m1yj…, I am actively searching for a new job and seeking roles in higher education, consulting, or non-profit work in either an assistant director, associate director, or director roles.

I just signed a @theactionnet petition: UMass Postdocs Deserve a Fair Contract!. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/umas…

Our review paper on models for breast cancer dormancy is out! So excited to share these ideas: doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…

If you work at the intersection of bioengineering and cell biology, apply to the STEEM GRS/GRC (July 20-26, 2024, Manchester, NH)! Aidan Gilchrist and I are developing a GRS program that will highlight tissue models, heterogeneity, and understudied biological variables/diseases.

It may be a bit late to share this, but I'm thrilled to announce that I successfully defended my Ph.D. dissertation! Many thanks to my advisor, committee members, colleagues, and family for their support. Now, I'm entering the job market for a postdoc position! Texas BME

May I introduce Dr. Matt Whitman - expert in the role of mineral density in bone metastasis, terrific communicator and wonderful lab member. #proudPI Cornell BME

Amazing, exceptional, congratulations to Dr. Matt Whitman!!

Exciting news and a much push forward for women's health! For reference, this investment amounts to essentially the last 5 years (2019-2023) combined of total funding by NIH allocated for endometriosis research (see breakdown).

This explains so much! JAK/STAT is... everything

That's me! And former undergraduate researcher Akhila Ravikumar. See our work together here: doi.org/10.1002/macp.2…
I spent so much time with that rheometer...

I'm grateful I got to attend his presentation in the Tissue Engineering Short Course at Rice. Humor, insight, and a foundation for so much research and medicine.

Check out our new paper! :) we wrote this with three talented undergraduate students
