The non-linearity of science makes it difficult to know if you're on track, or way behind. It can feel like everyone else is getting data, talks, papers, grants, etc., while you're standing still. At success 1, it's easy to look around and feel an order-of-magnitude behind:

I had a blast going to in-person #CEMBRetreat! Great opportunity to meet these shining CEMB trainees from 7 different institutions and listen to their stories. My heart is full 🥰

Academics Vs. Industry traveling to a conference

I'll be presenting my work on how cell behavior is influenced by some interesting biophysical cues that we've engineered into a hydrogel ft. a collab between BurdickLab Mauck Lab and Lin Han!! Thanks @CMBE for this opportunity.

Huge congrats to Mauck lab Penn Bioengineering PhD students - Austin Jenk and Emily Sharp - for being awarded the U.S. National Science Foundation GRFP!! McKay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory

My first paper from my PhD work is finally out (expect many more 🥰)! HUGE thanks to everyone involved!! Journal of Orthopaedic Research - Spine® Columbia BME Columbia Orthopedics Nadeen Chahine

Basically a post doc

It is that time of the year again -- time to apply to the McKay ORS Conference Grant Program!! We are excited to bring two undergraduates from the greater Philadelphia area with us to the Orthopaedic Research Society meeting in Long Beach, CA in February (fully funded).

For those exploring animal VR setup check this out: With Matt Isaacson, we present the first miniaturized VR headset, MouseGoggles, for mouse neuroscience and behavior (< $200 in parts💰, open-source, highly immersive)🧵1/2 #VR Research Square SchafferNishimuraLab 🧠🐭🥽 researchsquare.com/article/rs-330…

Join us for a hybrid seminar on Monday October 9, 3 pm CST. Dr. Carla Scanzello will talk about TLRs in OA!. Reach out to receive a link. AM Malfait @carla_scanzello

HAPPY #AcademicHalloween! Over the years I’ve brought you, “Reviewer 2,” a “Predatory Journal,” a “MANEL,” and “Academic CV.ver37” THIS YEAR I bring to you — a “Rejected Conference Reimbursement” (click 📸 to see entire image).

My 7-yr #PhD The Morgan Huse Laboratory GSK Graduate School summarized in 10 s: the #Tcell #immunesynapse squishes & micropatterns target cells! A close look at the surface patterns shows how "Rippling" and "Killing" are associated - so yes, T cells mastered Hamon right out of #JoJosBizzareAdventure.

Still confirming branding with my legal team… but come checkout what the future Burt Lab will be about 🤠 💫

My best article Science Magazine. It took ~1 year for me to publish it since its 1st submission. I hope it will positively change the #culture. I hope you will work together with me to make a better world for the next #generations. Please retweet broadly. science.org/content/articl…

Karen Xu from the BurdickLab in collaboration with the Mauck Lab and others develop bicontinuous hydrogels with microtracks to elicit rapid cell migration in 3D. #BiotechNatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…

Bioengineering doctoral graduate Karen Xu has been honored with a Scholar Award from the P.E.O. Sisterhood, recognizing her high level of academic achievement and potential for having a positive impact on society. #PennBioengineering Penn Engineering bit.ly/3Wr3HCO
