The Weitz law— A short paper can only make one main point. Readers look for the main point in the title, abstract, introduction, and conclusion. Writers ought to state the point succinctly and repeat it several times. The rest of the paper supports the point.

Scientists have developed a tiny robotic swimmer that can navigate cluttered spaces autonomously and untethered, and push objects up to 16 times its own weight. Read more in Science Robotics: scim.ag/41nSC7A

A phase field model of cancer cell invasion explores how confinement, adhesion, and chemotaxis drive cell dissociation that can lead to #metastasis — capturing cell behavior observed in experiments with microfluidic channels. Read the paper: go.aps.org/41xXR4N

Looking forward to stimulating talks on "Hacking the Nervous System" for the Regional Meeting of the US National Academy of Engineering Brown University Tejal A. Desai Brown Engineering Carney Institute for Brain Science National Academy of Engineering

The National Academy of Engineering's Regional Meeting was hosted by the Provost’s office and Brown Engineering today. The theme was Hacking the Nervous System: The convergence of data, devices, and decision-making.

🔬 A new probe developed by Janelia researchers & collaborators that enables visualization of extracellular matrix structure in live tissues could also be useful in studying diseases linked to changes in the extracellular matrix and in diagnostic imaging➡️ janelia.org/news/looking-b…

Many thanks to Brown Engineering and Tejal A. Desai for the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Mentoring in Engineering. Grateful for the talented students and postdocs in my lab - it's a privilege to work with you during these formative stages of your careers. engineering.brown.edu/news/2025-05-0…

Tumors are uncanny masters of disguise—evolved to outsmart immunity. Now out in Nature Cancer, our team engineered a flag🚩—what we call a synthetic antigen—to engage CAR T cells and kickstart antitumor immunity. More here👇🏼tinyurl.com/syntag1 1/

Most tumors can't be recognized by CAR T cells because they resemble normal cells. But now Lena Gamboa Ali Zamat and Coulter BME | Emory & Georgia Tech colleagues report the design of synthetic antigens to mark cancer cells for elimination in Nature Cancer. Congrats! Read here: tinyurl.com/syntag1
