OMG Chancellor Jones let the students have their peaceful protest, you're embarrassing yourself.

So I've been bearing witness/supporting the students starting an encampment at Illinois. There is a campus policy that students can't put up "structures" and that's why they have tear gas at the ready. My Q: do the tents, tables, etc at tailgates not count as "structures?"

Really proud of this one: me, @anthrofuentes.bsky.social, @cvansickle.bsky.social & Catherine Clune-Taylor wrote a perspective piece for American Scientist on why sex isn't (and never was) binary. It's paywalled but if you are a Sigma Xi member/have a library card/email me you can read it. Why? 1/n

Biology Is Not Binarywww.americanscientist.org How scientists define sex has evolved over the centuries, and the concept is still incredibly difficult to pin down.

Today's the day! Can't wait for the exciting nuclear receptor/glioblastoma science 🧪 that's to come. Grateful to be on this journey (again!) with @profharley.bsky.social - this one's personal too (we lost our grandfather to GBM).

The contention that Sabatini's "previous actions" can just be left in the past might be a bit less laughable if Sabatini weren't continuing to carry on a campaign of retaliation against his accusers.

Despite sexual harassment shadow, biologist David Sabatini lands job at top Czech institutewww.science.org Institute director says, “He has been punished enough,” but Czech scientists are divided

Happy Halloween 🎃!

Another amazing part of the @BMESociety #BMES2023 Reception was our inaugural Art in Science exhibition. Amazing to see how we can share our work through images.

Hanging with some of the #HarleyLab alumni. Seeing them all shine is such a privilege. ❤️

Morning on the last day of @BMESociety #BMES2023. The roof deck is such a great space to meet and reflect on the exceptional science and community we have here. So appreciative of the privilege to put this together with @kellystevens.bsky.social and @staceyfinley.bsky.social

First #HarleyLab talk of #BMES comes today comes in in the *in-person* LatinXinBME meeting: Genesis Rios Adorno: Extrusion-based 3D printed Gel-SH hydrogels for fibrocartilage enthesis regen. Wed, 10:30a, Brotman Building Auditorium! Check it out!

🧪The #HarleyLab turns 15 - and we're celebrating at #BMES2023. We have 11 (!!) presentations this week at #BMES2023 and @LatinXinBME form current trainees (from undergrads to research scientists, grad students, and postdocs!) See you in Seattle!

🧪The #HarleyLab turns 15 - and we're celebrating at #BMES2023. We have had so many exceptional scholars help build our group over the years. Look at all our lam alumni presenting. Check them out this week!

🧪It's finally here! After a year of planning with the fabulous @kellystevens.bsky.social and @staceyfinley.bsky.social, #BMES2023 kicks off tomorrow. Our theme is adding a 3rd pillar to biomed eng programming + Biology/Medicine + Engineering/Technology + Social Transformation See you in Seattle!

Hey @kateclancy.bsky.social - are you today's date? Because you're a 10 out of 10.

Hope to see many other bioengineers there! 🧪 #BMES2023 @kellystevens.bsky.social @staceyfinley.bsky.social

@kellystevens.bsky.social @profharley.bsky.social and i are Co-Chairs for the 2023 BMES Annual Meeting happening next week in Seattle. i'm ready to see the fantastic program in living color!

RENEWAL UNLOCKED!! Super excited that it is finally official. We're extending our R01 project developing gradient hydrogels for hematopoietic stem cell culture to create granular models of the bone marrow to study HSC-MSC crosstalk & remodeling. 🧪 Many thanks NIDDK + collaborators and trainees!

Academic friends: 🧪 We want you to develop centers and training grants that transform our future. But how can unis best support that? Pls share strategies your uni does (or you wish did) to support you *developing* these proposals (not after funding) ICR funds? teaching release? Other ideas?
