It's been a busy Spring around here! First - congrats to Cailin Casey, who defended her dissertation on the mechanics of the flying insect thorax. Cailin was co-advised by Mark Jankauski and me. Cailin's next stop is a science policy internship in Boise! MSU Engineering

Next up - congrats to Ghazal Vahidi, who beautifully defended her dissertation research about osteocyte interactions with bone matrix. Ghazal was also recently honored with our department's 'Outstanding graduate researcher' award. Congrats Ghazal!!! MSU Engineering

This was such an awesome opportunity to talk about osteoarthritis, the metabolome, and how they merge in one of our latest studies on the effects of weight loss intervention on OA individuals. Thanks for having us on the podcast! 🎙️🦴 ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Check it out! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Exciting news! The University of Colorado Boulder is hosting an Embodied Carbon Bootcamp and Symposium for structural engineers this summer between July 25th and 27th! This event is designed as an on-ramp for structural engineers looking to become leaders in embodied carbon.

Some super cool work from the Dr. Chelsea Heveran lab where they used Neurospora and/or the bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii to make biomineralized "engineered living materials" from mycelia that resemble bone geometry. So Neurospora can be used to make concrete-like structures!
