Too often, it's easy for academics to hide behind jargon. An old mentor once told me that a good scientist is able to get ground-breaking results. Only a great scientist is able to explain why they are ground-breaking to a group of kids and have them understand it.

What if I told you there was a single intervention we could deliver in our cities that would cool them during heatwaves, reduce flooding, scrub pollutants from the air, boost biodiversity, improve public health, and even reduce crime? You wouldn't believe me. But it's true.

Simple and inexpensive yet sophisticated and elegant solution to a big global health problem. Maybe one day I’ll find a practical use for all the candy that I eat…

I’ve never quite understood the Musk fanaticism. He consistently over promises on tech and under delivers on timeline. I’m not sure his Tesla Bot announcement will be any different, esp. with the mountain of challenges in front of him. Happy to be wrong, but remaining skeptical..

“We can act collectively to create the country’s first Equitech city — anchored in the shared belief that entrepreneurship is the key to our city’s growth, & diversity is a force multiplier.” Great article by local leaders, including my fabulous cofounder. baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Could screening for COVID one day be as easy as recording yourself speaking, coughing, or breathing into your phone? #HopkinsEngineer Drew Grant—a JHU ECE PhD candidate—is working on a system to make it that simple. Read more: hub.jhu.edu/2021/10/04/dia…

In a world where #BakingImpossible was made possible, this must also be possible! How does one get this to happen???

I am very fortunate to be able to work with Eric and the #ProjahnmoResearchFoundation on several project that would improve access and diagnosis to #StopPneumonia. They are incredibly impressive people that save lives everyday, and I'm especially grateful this #WorldPneumoniaDay!

Congratulations to ECE PhD candidate Ian McLane (Ian McLane) on being name to the 2022 #ForbesUnder30 list! McLane was selected for his work with re-engineering the traditional stethoscope to diagnose pneumonia, which has a 91% accuracy rate. Story: engineering.jhu.edu/ece/news/ian-m…

Yesterday was a surreal day. I woke up to find out I was selected for #ForbesUnder30 for our work at Sonavi Labs. I am humbled and thrilled and sleep deprived, but mostly thankful! I’m excited to see what next year has in store.

Check out some of the cool (non-medical) stuff that I’ve been working on this fall. Really exciting experience teaching Musical Acoustics Peabody Institute and applying our research with some incredibly talented students.

The pic speaks for itself.

A Baltimore-based #medtech startup has developed a smart stethoscope. But it does much more than amplify sounds! We got a #behindthescenes look inside Sonavi Labs to see how it all works. Learn about it on WBAL-TV 11 Baltimore this evening!
