BMES friends: Do we need free child care for trainees and pre-tenure faculty at BMES meetings? Informal poll this week = YES. Who wants to help me boot it up? So much young energy there - how can we make it easy for young parents? science.org/content/article/…

Humbled and honored to receive the NSEF Forum Award at #AIChE2024. Join me at 9:30 AM in Sapphire Ballroom L (Level 4, Hilton Bayfront) to hear about how I overcame challenges and micro-aggressions to commercialize nanoparticles for cancer detection.

Thank you @NIBIBgov and @DrPlattLab for organizing the Building Bridges Across NIH and Engineering Meeting! It was an honor to share my lab’s vision and connect with @nih_nhlbi investigators leading HSCT research in sickle cell. Couldn’t ask for a better first talk as new faculty
