I learned so much invaluable information at the 2024 #NextProf Nexus, as evidenced by the dissertation chapter’s worth of notes I took! A huge thank you to the organizers & presenters 🌟 the cherry on top was getting to meet up with fellow Varner Lab alumna Somdutta Chakraborty

What an amazing event! I enjoyed connecting with so many great placental researchers from Mayo Clinic UMN Duluth & University of Minnesota at the inaugural Minnesota Placenta Research Community Symposium! Thanks to Sarah Wernimont for organizing & the invite!

I may be a *tad* biased but there’s amazing work being done in Varner Lab and the broader biomechanics community Bioengineering_UTDallas . Anyone at #BMES2024 who is interested in developmental biomechanics, soft-tissues, and mechanobiology should swing by!
