Thanks Cole DeForest and Prof. Buddy Ratner for hosting me at UW Bioengineering! What a fabulous day - awesome students, awesome Seattle views, and awesome scientific discussions!

It’s always a great time when you’re reunited with former labmates 🥰 Thanks so much to Prof. Aidan Gilchrist for hosting us at UC Davis yesterday! Beautiful campus, inquisitive students, and of course the best new prof!! 🐮

Really exciting collaboration with the Fuller Lab (Stanford ChemE) investigating mucus rheology in situ using a custom magnetic microwire rheometer! Fantastic work led by Pam Cai and Maggie Braunreuther now out in APL Bioengineering 🎉

It was a great honor to receive the David G Nathan award from the SPR at Pediatric Academic Societies 2024! Big thank you to everyone in the Heilshorn Lab for their help with the work and Stanford Pediatrics for their support through fellowship!

Beautiful conference center in Seattle and packed room for day one of Advances in Polymer-Based Soft Matter for Additive Manufacturing co-organized with Daryl Yee ChemilyScience Michinao Hashimoto. Great talks from Heilshorn Lab and Macroarc. My first MRS since fall 2019!

It’s a great day when a Heilshorn Lab alum surprises us in lab! Prof. Brian Aguado great to see you and thanks for stopping by 🤗

Networking is overwhelming to many. I was fortunate to have had many opportunities to overcome my awkwardness and network during grad school. I’m thankful for this opportunity to share my perspective as a guide for others to begin growing their network. Thanks, Cellas A Hayes, PhD and team!

Happy international women's day! Celebrating the wonderful women scientists in our lab today and every day 😍
