Come check out my talk today at #SB3C2022 titled “Independent and Synergistic Effects of Interstitial Hydration and SF Presence on Cartilage Lubrications “ in Chesapeake F at 3:30p! I’m excited to share some of what I’ve been working on!

Dissertation submitted 😎.

I’m super excited to have successfully defended my PhD yesterday! I’m so thankful to Spencer Szczesny for the years of mentorship and guiding me in this journey.

Job(s) alert! I'm recruiting 2 PhD students to join my lab Biomedical Engineering @ UDEL starting Fall 2023. Projects include imaging, robotic testing, wearables, and postnatal growth studies. Find me at #BMES2022 or via email to learn more! International Women in Biomechanics BlackBiomechanists ORS Tendon Section ASME-BED_Students

Super excited to officially become Dr. Peterson. I’ll always be so grateful to Spencer Szczesny for mentorship in this academic journey and can’t wait to for future opportunities in the Jenna Galloway as I move forward. #TeamTendon

Everyone is a minimalist until you need to move and realize just how much crap you have 😅.

Hey, #ORS2023 attendees! Join us for the inaugural Orthopaedic Research Society Education RIG entitled Orthopaedic Research: Beyond the Lab & Into the Classroom 🦴🧑‍🏫 Sunday, Feb. 12 from 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM CST. Come learn about all things pedagogy, outreach, and professional development! 🙌

It was great to connect with everyone at #ORS2023! Huge shout-out to all the organizers for all their work in putting it together. Already can't wait for next year!

📢Proud to share our postdoc case study at Harvard Medical Postdoc Association Harvard Medical School with 1200 postdocs is online now Nature Biotechnology🧵 We talk of postdoc shortage, inclusive excellence & retaining postdocs without acting on what has been said repeatedly. NIH rdcu.be/c5HAx 👇👇👇

Congrats to Krishna Pedaprolu on his second paper! Although mouse Achilles tendons degenerate with fatigue loading, he found that they exhibit very little collagen denaturation, suggesting that this damage mechanism does not initiate tendon degeneration. doi.org/10.1016/j.jbio…

🔔New Paper Alert! 🔔

I am so happy to share our recently published paper on #tendon #regeneration (doi.org/10.1038/s41536… and rdcu.be/dmtJA) published with Springer Nature in npj Journals #RegenerativeMedicine!

And check out the great work from the Smeeton lab (Smeetonlab) on zebrafish ligament regeneration (doi.org/10.1038/s41536…)! Published back-to-back, these works showcase the power of zebrafish in illuminating mechanisms underlying connective tissue regeneration!

I am speaking at Society for Developmental Biology 83rd Annual Meeting. Please check out my poster if you're attending the event! #2024SDB. I am also fully on the job search now and look forward to talking to you if you are hiring, thanks.
