The new restriction by the NSF, barring 2nd year PhD students from applying for the GRFP, is deeply unfair and ill-timed. My colleague @creinhartking weighs in on the news in an AAAS Science article posted today (free access): 👇

Ben Kaufman of the @profmikeking Lab presents his groundbreaking, super awesome research on “Modulating T-Cell Activation Through Focused Ultrasound-Induced Mechanotransduction” at the 2025 retreat!
In the words of Dr. Chen “We have models to predict primary tumors and how treatments affect them, but there’s nothing for when cancer spreads. I think if we develop model for metastasis, that will be the driving force to advancement.”
Heard. We’re on it 🫡🔬f – at Texas Medical Center, Houston
Another AMAZING ENJOY Science webinar by @MDAndersonNews today. I can’t support this series enough. Such an amazing spread of knowledge and expertise being shared by leaders in the field. Amazing discussion by Jennifer Wargo on the impact of the microbiome on cancer prognosis
Congrats to the bestie for getting some high praise 🙌🏼💕🥳

#VU2024 🎓 “I wanted to learn more and solve problems that felt like they mattered.”
@VUEngineering student Schyler Rowland found a home in the lab with mentors who inspired her future in fighting diseases. news.vanderbilt.edu/2024/03/…
Big work from home day but not stopping these cuties from having fun ❄️ #snoWBIR
SO psyched for you to hop aboard! 🦉
Beyond excited to be part of this amazing research group!
Grateful for the opportunity to conduct research under the esteemed guidance of @profmikeking, a trailblazer in the BME field.
Excited for the journey ahead and ready for thrilling discoveries with these amazing researchers!
Rice Owls, Let's fly. 👐
