It was one of the best panels I’ve been to, thank the organizers Kejie Zhao Nanshu Lu @ UT-Austin and panelists for great tips and genuine advice. Great conversation at the poster session as well, nice talking to peers, faculties, and funding PM.

I couldn’t help but notice the resemblance between this photo of plant tropism and my fully-synthetic-magnetic material!

Really nice paper for reviewing and explaining the theory frameworks.

Art is subjective and prone to personal interpretation. If you subjectively find my entry to #F23MRS Science as Art interesting, please consider voting in your MRS app. #38 Alligator Smooches. If you rotate the picture 90degrees clockwise, you might see a bird, or an angel.

Tonight I have two poster presentations at #F23MRS. One is about micrometer-scale magnetic cilia with programmable metachronal behaviors at board 566. The other is about my current work Marelli Lab of using silk microneedles for underwater delivery at board 340. Please drop by~

The poster session tonight was a success, I think. Talked to many people and exchanged good ideas. I will shift gears tomorrow and talk about our magnetic putty work. I will also be at the Meet the New Faculty Candidates Session to show my vision about my future lab. #F23MRS

Some of the recent group gatherings to celebrate people’s achievements and welcoming group members. (People seem to really like their food today )

Another paper alert 📣: congratulations to Nima Mirkhani, Michael Christiansen, Tino Gwisai and Stefano Menghini for publishing our new reserach on spatially selective torque delivery for targeted magnetic microrobot control in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

This past Sunday, we were at the MIT Museum for Nature Driven Design panel and demos. Big thanks to all the organizers and everyone participated. It was fun and rewarding to showcase our research and we got many good questions and discussions.

Join us for a colorful array of events tonight! I’ll give a live demo on natural structural color and bio-optics.

Go bills!
