I am going with Poorly Defined Diseases (+ IV light therapy! Can you add phototherapy?). Brian S. Kim , never stop challenging us to stomp on dogma and focus on patients. Learning so much from you!

The incomparable Douglas A Lauffenburger teaching Engineering Ethics, outside on a beautiful spring day. Topic - CRISPR gene editing. Note, he just won a prestigious MIT award for undergraduate advising. A true educator at heart.

A dream, & hard work, realized. When we started building microfluidic 3D in vitro models for preclinical studies in the 1990s, I advocated for this change as a member of the Advisory Committee to the Director, and coauthored the report that led to this new initiative. Huzzah!

An accomplishment worth celebrating. @DrJBattacharya seems committed to humanizing biomedical research 🤩. Move over, mice (rabbits, dogs, monkeys)- NIH research is moving toward all-human. But...Engineers have to step up and create useful living patient avatars. Game on!

Love your comments here Justin Perry - Perry Lab . I am being quite aspirational here, as a long term (even very long term) North Star spurs creativity. Progress will be step by step, hence the "Move Over, Mice" movement we have at MIT. Not "mice in the woodchipper today".

Eek, glad I am getting a tutorial next month from Brian S. Kim as I am not sure exactly how I am using Blockchain and have not published in @researchhub. At least I am a fiend about neuro-immunology, in humans at least.

One salve for the never-ending pain of infertility is working vigorously to fix the diverse problems that cause it. Thank you Wellcome Leap for making this Mother's Day not only tolerable but joyous, through your HMB proposal solicitation. wellcomeleap.org/the-missed-vit…

Here in the Research Directions Workshop in Sydney, after the World Congress of Endometriosis, there is a lot of discussion about including adenomyosis (hooray for that!). This new paper from Dr Varsha Jain offers a much needed next step in diagnosis. fertstertscience.org/article/S2666-…
