An undergrad design team just came by my desk and asked “hey, do you happen to know anything about lateral flow assays?” And I’ve never felt so relevant

.Marina Yu worked hard to set up the first-of-its-kind pipette box recycling program in the BRC and is hosting a competition to promote its use. 🌱 Highly recommend signing up if you’re eligible!

Facilitated a workshop through CTE at Rice on evidence-based practices for supporting students who are falling behind yesterday evening. We had great turnout despite the rain and awesome discussion!

We're hiring! 🚨 My group has a new postdoc position (with reasonable pay) in cell-targeting biomaterials for reversing osteoarthritis as a part of a large collaborative effort CU Boulder 🦬. Priority date is January 5. Email me directly if interested. RTs appreciated! 🙏

Thrilled to share that part of my dissertation is now published! I'm grateful to the incredible team that supported this research, and especially thankful to my amazing undergraduate researcher Ariel Ma!
