Excited to announce the inaugural Queer Science night in collaboration with Youth Pride focusing on getting our hands messy with soft materials and building STEM identities in LGBTQ+ youth! Providence locals, stop by and say hi! More details: fb.me/e/1KCp28ALY

.RIPTA bus service to our universities is essential to growing our workforce, meeting student needs, and increasing access to education for communities across the state. We should be expanding service to the university not cutting!

Our lab has a new toy to begin testing the performance of our complex fluids as 3D printing inks. Thanks to Chris O'Bryan for help designing this set up, which was built completely by a team of undergrads sponsored by URI College of Engineering!

It’s impossible to address these inequities without accurate data. Disappointed to see this obstruction but glad that the community is holding agencies accountable. Thank you Jon Freeman for your work on this.

The mountain is out in full force today #ACSColloids

Glad to see this published the same day I presented it at #ACSColloids! We designed gels with identical linear rheology but with different interactions. They exhibit distinct nonlinear failure modes and thixotropy Great work by Elnaz Nikoumanesh pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Well actually...

Proud of my alma mater The Cooper Union for returning to full tuition scholarships! 🎉 Because of these scholarships, students can excel inside and outside of the classroom unlike anywhere else in higher education

When your partner goes “well I assume you got this word first” and then you have to admit that you didn’t even think of it and maybe he knows your research better than you do… 😔😔

Just in time for fall, some of our slimy, drippy, some might even say spooky gels featured on the cover of Soft Matter! Highlight our work by Elnaz Nikoumanesh, identifying yielding and fracturing motifs in colloidal gels: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Amazon has nothing on McMaster-Carr logistics

And so begins another 1+ week of this image burning into my phone screen every time I need to find a talk. See you all soon at #AIChE!

Thanks to Rhode Island Life Science Hub for supporting some of our work creating biomimetic hydrogels and investigating how nanotherapeutics transport in cell-laden networks!

Hub Grantee Spotlight 💡 URI College of Engineering has been awarded a grant to conduct a proof-of-concept study on synthetic materials for drug delivery, aiming to streamline evaluation processes & potentially reduce reliance on traditional animal testing. 🔬

Some seasonal decorations from our group and those from Roxbury Lab I. Andreu ! Their decorating skills far surpass mine (but yes, that’s me on the bat!)
