The abstract deadline for the Society of Rheology Annual Meeting is extended to May 30th to accommodate requests from speakers who are navigating uncertainties. We received a healthy number of abstracts so far and look forward to a robust meeting in Santa Fe.

Happy to see this in print - remarkably robust ion specific effects on the rheology of cellulose nanofibrils, in both intrinsic viscosity and elastic modulus. Great work by R. (Ning) Wattana and D. Park, supported by CEMB doi.org/10.1039/D5SM00… Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Penn Penn Engineering

Paris Perdikaris (@MEAM_PENN, Penn Engineering) and Microsoft Research have developed Aurora, a foundation AI model that forecasts extreme weather and environmental events—faster and cheaper than traditional systems. The team's findings are published in nature. bit.ly/4dyota6

Huge congrats to the newest PhD from our lab, Dr. Mithun Ravisankar, on defending his dissertation Brown Engineering: “Bubbly flows in non-Newtonian fluids and viscous Newtonian fluids.” He’s now a master of all things bubbly and sticky. Next stop: Postdoc at Universitetet i Oslo! 🎉 Proud of you!

Congratulations Julia Radzio, MEAM doctoral student, for receiving the Best Poster Award from the Gordon Research Conferences on the Physics and Chemistry of Micro-fluidics. Radzio presented a summary of her work on a stiffness-based droplet sorting platform for biodegradable enzyme screening.

We are so proud of you, Julia!

The next Future of Rheology seminar will take place this Thurs, May 29th, from 1-2pm EST. Jake Song will speak on nonlinear elasticity and plasticity of soft composites, and Yug Chandra Saraswat will speak on Ductile-brittle transitions in fiber-composite hydrogels.See you there!

Provost John L. Jackson Jr. just announced that Russell Composto will be the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education at Penn, beginning July 1. Composto, who has been at Penn since 1990, is a professor and Howell Family Faculty Fellow in Materials Science and Engineering at

We are grateful to receive funding from the American Chemical Society ACSPRF to investigate how fibers and anisotropic particles, such as microplastics, reorient, bend, and sometimes clog in porous media.

Marine larvae must settle in flows much faster than their swimming speed. Gysbers, Mark Levenstein & Juarez show that certain substrate topographies create recirculatory flows that favour settlement, helping larvae reach suitable habitats efficiently. 🔗 go.aps.org/3GjMLbA
