Congrats to the amazing Kati Karikó & Drew Weissman on their Nobel Prize for vaccine-enabling mRNA science. I’ve been privileged to work & interact with them. Brilliance is par for the course when it comes to Nobels; being a good, generous person makes it even more special. 💗

Super proud of Mariah and everything she has done for the chemical engineering and broader STEM community.

Two days left to submit an abstract for short talk consideration + scholarship application to the Keystone meeting on Nucleic Acid Delivery that Daniel Siegwart and I are organizing in January in Banff. I hate snow lol but maybe you love it. ⛷️ keystonesymposia.org/conferences/co…

Join us for the DELIVERY OF NUCLEIC ACID THERAPEUTICS Keystone Symposia ! Co-organized with Prof. Katie Whitehead JANUARY 22 - 25, 2024 | ALBERTA, CANADA keystonesymposia.org/conferences/co… Submit your abstract today! #mRNA #LNP #nanoparticles #polymers #CRISPR

All you need is love.

How to make faculty meeting more exciting? Wrong answers only.

I really like most Thorp editorials. But this one is all over the place & tries to link the broad (SciComm) w something oddly specific (treatmnt of glam editors by small frac of authors). And it’s messed up he thinks his role is to pick papers that “deserve” to be in Science.

Calling for applications for GRC Drug Carriers, which I'm co-chairing w Vadim Dudkin in Portland, ME. Was invited to attend this morning. :) Apply soon, we will be oversubscribed. We have a beautiful speaker line-up, even a Reproductive Health Session! grc.org/drug-carriers-…

This award means a lot to me as Controlled Release Society is my home research conference, and I plan on keeping it as such for my career. Thank you to Prof. Katie Whitehead for the nomination and to everyone who attended.

Seems apropos to share! Late 2017.

It’s almost time. Our first bout comes on Sunday night between two greats, Laura Sepp-Lorenzino Joseph DeSimone, with Duvall Lab and Vlad Muzykantov officiating and live commentary from Snoop. Who will get the gold?!?!!!!! grc.org/drug-carriers-…

#GRCDrugCarriers2024 I was a fan girl last night around these badasses. Laura Sepp-Lorenzino Vlad Muzykantov Joseph DeSimone

Incredible Drug Carriers in Med & Bio ⁦Gordon Research Conferences⁩! ⁦Many thanks to ⁦Prof. Katie Whitehead⁩ and Vadim for their tireless Chairing & ⁦Elizabeth Nance⁩ for leading the Power Hour. Innovative science & incredible friends. I’m thrilled to Chair 2026 with ⁦Natalie Artzi

Thank you Prof. Katie Whitehead and Vadim for your tireless work putting together an incredible GRC Drug Carriers in medicine and biology meeting. Looking forward to chairing the 2026 GRC with Theresa M. Reineke and working with vice chairs Duvall Lab and @SujathaSonti.

Had a great time this week at GRC Drug Carriers. Had the conference’s 1st session on Reproductive Health +2 babies in attendance - progress. Thanks to our amazing speakers & most of all to my dear co-chair Vadim Y Dudkin.
