Saying goodbye to fall @KillianLab

Can't believe I am defending soon! 🥲 @KillianLab

Congrats to Kiick & Price labs being awarded a prestigious R01 5-year, 3 million + research grant from NIH for their research project “Collagen-mediated approaches to improve the local delivery and hypothermic release of osteoarthritis therapeutics.” Kiick Research Group UD Engineering

Excited to present as a NIRA finalist on the role of disuse and Cx43 in fracture healing during the #ORS2024 Bone Regeneration Session! Thanks to Orthopaedic Research Society Translational Research Institute for Space Health and my coauthors and collaborators on this project B.E.S.T.

Congrats to former undergrad Riley Brackin for publishing her study on HA hydrogel molecular weight for tissue-penetrating cartilage preservation! Low MW > high MW. Thanks to all coauthors, VA Research , and Emory Musculoskeletal Research for their support!

Writing about my failed experiments. Why they failed, how many times they failed, and in how many ways they failed. It does not feel great 🙃

Diwali celebration! Shubh Deepawali 🪔

My 2day long experiment fails. Me to myself: it’s ok, things happen, not the end of the world 🫠

5-year-long PhD and in my diploma my name is spelled wrong 🫠 it’s not like I customized my name or anything, it’s supposed to be the one that already exists in the system 🙃 I’m feeling great! Please tell me it has happened to others.

The Tang lab crew is getting excited to get to Long Beach for the Orthopaedic Research Society #ORS2024 annual meeting. We have lots of exciting science to share - and looking forward to catching up with old friends. Safe travels everyone!

At 9.00 pm, I found myself sitting in front of tax advisor, watching her crunching numbers. Before that I had spent two hours to explain my tax situation.
