It's thesis defense week! Congrats to Dr. Jake Fredrikson & Travis Lindsay M.S.! Tomorrow at 1 pm is soon-to-be Dr. Shawna Pratt in Procrastinator Theatre for #MontanaState folk. So nice to have everyone in the lab together and to be back in #Bozeman #Montana #Engineering 🌈🏔️☀️

Congratulations to Dr. Shawna Pratt, who made this fabulous Lululemon track suit that I promised I would wear for her graduation. It was wonderful to have the lab together again to celebrate. Will miss all the graduating students! Thankful for this supportive, close-knit team! 🥳

Congrats 2023 #MontanaState graduates and especially Dr. Shawna Pratt, Ph.D.! Can’t beat the front row seats to the show. #GoCatsGo

And congrats to Travis Lindsay, M.S. who did not walk but great to see him in the lab! #CatGrad23 🎉🎈🥳

Great to be at the Montana Biofolm Meeting with my lab and James N. Wilking, catching up with Center for Biofilm Engineering folk. Fantastic and fun workshop day on Engineering Living Materials organized by Dr. Chelsea Heveran Gerlach-Lab! #biofilm #bacteria #ELM #MBM23 The Center for Biofilm Engineering ⛰️☀️

Congratulations to Dr. Humberto Sanchez HumbertoSSanchez who successfully defended his #PhD today! Caught his slide on device modeling: *the following slides contains mathematics some viewers may find disturbing. #Math=disturbing? Never! #proudPI #ChE #Engineering #PhDone🤓🧮

Great job Jonathan Louis from #UIUC #Bioengineering presenting at the #MayoClinic Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) poster session. Impressive poster session with 110 posters. Thanks to grad students Mallory and Carter from #MontanaState for showing Jon the ropes!💙

New work in collaboration Lewis Cox Ron June in Advanced Biology. Single primary human chondrocytes are cultured in alginate microgels, a robust PCM forms around each cell, single cell micromechanics show cells reach elastic moduli close to native PCM 🦴 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Jamaican fruit bats are pretty cute. There are 1400 bat species in the world, 500 million worldwide that harbor all the #viruses! Thanks for the seminar @TSchountz aka Batman who studies a #bat colony of 600 with more to come in new bat vivarium aka Batcave Colorado State University 2024🦇

Great time at #BMES2023 with Anja Kunze, Ph.D. and Stephanie McCalla. High consumption rate of 小龍包dumplings over the past few days. 🥟

Coming soon on January 9th! amzn.to/48kK5Di

Excited that our collaboration with the Taylor lab Matthew Taylor is now published in Science Advances. We cultured single #neurons on Matrigel #hydrogels created using #droplet #microfluidics and watched infection with herpes #virus (HSV-1). science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Was great to host my former undergraduate student and recent #NSF GRFP recipient Hannah Szafraniec from #UMN UMN Biomedical Eng at #MayoClinic yesterday. Hannah talked about her work studying sickle cell rheology using #microfluidic flow imaging of blood in the lab of @davesbiochips.

Great to see this work with Connie Chang published! Digital droplet RT‐LAMP increases speed of SARS‐CoV‐2 viral RNA detection, Smart Medicine onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

My soldering skills have been put to use outside of the lab! Fixed up my espresso machine. First I tried changing the solid state relay, but it turned out to be a $4 transformer in the control box. Very excited to be properly caffeinated again #artofelectronics #thatsmeespeesso

Long trip home from Singapore but good to see old friends and new. VignuzziLab Pricilla Yang Fadi Alnaji. Thank you Matthew Tay for hosting my visit to A*STAR Infectious Diseases (ID) Labs. A*STAR is a unique R&D agency doing innovative translational work bridging academia and industry! 🇸🇬

On my way to #APSphysics in #DEN lounge. I ask the young man sitting next to me for the WiFi password. It turns out he is flying to #BZN working at #BigSky and grew up in #MN where his dad is a #MayoClinic doctor. Constantly surprised by how small the world is! 💙 See you at APS!

Great to catch up with Matthew Taylor at Mayo Clinic who gave a seminar on #HSV and #measles that I missed 😭 as I was headed back to MSU for a thesis defense.

Congrats to Mallory & Carter in my lab who defended their PhDs this spring! #proudPI 🤩 Great to also see former members of the lab both in person and online. I am very grateful to have had such an amazing and supportive team all these years! Excited about their next steps. 🎉
