Lyophilizer having issues with compressor. Was told it is 10k to repair? Is this a normal expense for this thing. It is probably better to buy a replacement at that price. #chemtwitter

Maybe we can create options contracts for success/failure to really attract the degenerate investors. The risk is also incredibly asymmetrical in this made-up scenario. Risk 100% to gain 10%. Who would agree to that? nature.com/articles/d4158…

ESPN production quality is shocking. 720p when everyone else covers major sporting events in 4K.

Here we go! Exciting news for my lab as we just got a #R35 #MIRA from @NIGMS. Excited to work on mechanoregulators of nanoparticle-cell interactions! Really thankful for the support!

We are actively seeking postdocs for a NIH funded project focused on understanding how materials impact nanoparticle-cell interactions across multiple diseases. DM if interested. Official postings soon to follow. #AcademicTwitter #nanotechnology #postdocposition

Excited for the growth and success of my department. research.unt.edu/news/nearly-3m…

Come see my grad student Afia’s rapid fire talk today with a poster tomorrow. #bmes2023

We are hiring new postdocs. I will be at #BMES2023 this week if you would like to talk to me. Salary will be in line with NIH guidelines. Use the following link to apply. jobs.untsystem.edu/postings/77443

Tremendous presentation and huge congratulations to Natanael Monroy who defended his master's today. He has done an amazing job building an adaptable printing machine for our lab. Details to follow in the future.

Lovely celebration of our outstanding undergraduate and graduate students. It is always a pleasure working with such great students. UNT Biomedical Engineering Department University of North Texas Engineering College #aemb

What is your regrettable grant submission routine? Mine is reading the whole grant the day before submission out of paranoia. At least I am getting more efficient at this. #onlymidnight #AcademicChatter

Read about our most recent work on photocaged oligonucleotides in hydrogels led by the outstanding Katelyn Mathis in #CellReportsPhysicalScience. 5 of the authors on this manuscript were high school students! @untengineering Texas Academy of Math and Science UNT Biomedical Engineering Department tinyurl.com/Meckeslab

Why do my children turn into camels at night time? I swear they have the urge to drink their next day’s water needs right before they fall asleep.

How is the Microsoft word editor so freaking bad. Surely, they can implement some of that Open AI deal in the one context it actually makes sense.

Hot off the press! Our recent work looking at mechanical influences over lung cancer cells in biomimetic systems led by Afia Ibnat Kohon in collaboration with Yong Yang. Some really great perspectives for nanoparticle design considerations and screening. cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Want to learn how DNA can be used to program cell interactions across multiple levels and its applications? read our recent review led by Katelyn Mathis. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Imagine spending your time designing experiments to test efficacy of interventions in animal models for some politician to summarize it as “a hamster cage fight”. ☠️ At least attempt to disagree with science or methods and not intentionally mislead the goals.

Graduate students in the Meckes lab were out in force yesterday at the BDI research expo. Great work from all my advisees!

Excited to get the official tenure promotion confirmation today. Big thanks to the support of my fellow faculty and my outstanding graduate students.
