An HFSP grant to Mason Dean Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces and James Weaver Wyss Institute to study the cartilaginous skeletons of sharks laid the groundwork to prove for the first time that chimaera share the same tessellated cartilage with sharks and rays bit.ly/3aOeYn9

The 19th German-American Frontiers of Engineering Symposium is currently taking place virtually. Organized by National Academy of Engineering & Humboldt-Stiftung, it brings together about 60 #engineers from Germany & the US. This year Shahrouz Amini @BM_MPICI gives a talk for #Biologization session #GAFOE

OPEN POSITION & please RT – Still looking for a full-time lab manager at the new cipitrialab.com @Biodonostia Ikerbasque, working with the #H2020 #HEALIKICK team. Please apply👇 if you are interested in #biomaterials and biological #tissues. bit.ly/3xtv0zi

Thrilled to receive an Early Career #HFSPResearchGrants with @ShahrouzAmini (PI) and Ariel Camp. We are grateful to the HFSP panel for believing in us to study the shape-morphing armored skin of 🐡 via biology, materials science, and soft robotics. #2023HFSPResearchAwardee

Honored and grateful to receive an #HFSFResearchGrants Early Career Award with Ahmad Rafsanjani SDU Soft Robotics and Ariel Camp University of Liverpool EMB lab to understand the encoded motions in biological interfaces and develop shape-morphing robots Thank you HFSP!

⚡️ Postdoc position in soft robotics, finite element analysis, and 3D printing SDU Soft Robotics We'll study 🐡 through robotics, materials, and biology Apply online until October 1, 2023: sdu.dk/en/service/led… Funded by HFSP Please contact [email protected] for inquiries

I'm advertising a 3-year postdoc position studying the biomechanics of pufferfish inflation University of Liverpool EMB lab, funded by HFSP! Applications close 31 October 2023: my.corehr.com/pls/ulivrecrui… Contact [email protected] with any questions

We're really excited about this great work by Amar SV + Michael Blumer and gaggle of our science pals, including Frederik Mollen, Shahrouz Amini Ashlie McIvor @joana_gcc More to come on this species soon! HFSP Adv Optical Mat photo: Morgan Bennett-Smith

To measure #elasticity in action & in 3D Shahrouz Amini & co had to think...upside down🦇 They used an inverted nanoindenter & exposed samples to a laser to see how atoms scattered the light. ➡️tinyurl.com/3nz8f4ep Cell Press ETH Zurich Universität München #materialsscience

Thank you, HFSP and European Synchrotron @ID19, for helping our team investigate the fascinating shape-morphing pufferfish's armor and uncover the behavior of their complex soft-hard interfaces under mechanical stimuli.
