This #BlackHistoryMonth we remember Vivien Thomas, who changed the history of cardiac surgery and broke barriers along the way. Though Thomas was not credited at the time, he was an pioneer who innovated techniques and tools that would lead to today’s modern heart surgeries

I am pleased to announce that I have recently joined @EmoryUniversity as an Assistant Professor in the School of Medicine @EmoryMedicine @EmoryCTSurgery. I would like to express great gratitude to my advisors/mentors during my PhD/Postdoc training (in time order): Prof. Jianxiang Wang @PKU1898 , Prof. Vicky Nguyen @NguyenLabJHU, Prof. Yuhang Hu @YuhangHu @UofIllinois (currently @GeorgiaTech), Prof. Wei Sun & Prof. Rudy Gleason @GleasonLab @GeorgiaTech, Prof. John Elefteriades @JElefteriades @Yale, and Prof. Bradley Leshnower @EmoryUniversity. I sincerely appreciate all your guidance and support! Our lab will focus on the biomechanics of cardiovascular tissues, with applications to improve the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. We are open to any funding/paper collaborations. Please feel free to reach out if any of the following is needed: - Mechanical testing of bio-tissues (uniaxial/biaxial testing) - Histological analysis using multiphoton microscope - Constitutive models of bio-tissues - Patient-specific finite element (FE) simulations - Mechanical stress-driven growth simulations

🎉 Huge congratulations to our grad student Sophia Mavris (@sophiamavris) on acing her PhD proposal presentation last week! Here's to the next chapter of your academic journey! 📚👩‍🎓#GleasonLab #lymphatics

Last sunset of 2023. Happy New Year Yellow Jackets! 🐝🎉🎆

The original jolly good fellow. Happy Holidays Yellow Jackets! 🐝🎄

- So happy to see that our constitutive model (JMPS 151: 104377) has received its first direct application outside of our lab, thanks to the work of Kailash et al. and Prof. Wagenseil @JessicaWagense1 from Washington University @WUSTL. Check it out in their most recent paper (see below) featured in @JBMEjournal (Chief Editors: Prof. Nguyen @NguyenLabJHU & Prof. Ethier @EthierOcularLab). Huge thanks to everyone involved! - Also very honored and grateful to be mentioned in the abstract alongside giants in the mechanics field: Prof. Holzapfel, Prof. Ogden & Prof. Gasser @GasserKth. Without their work, I could not have proposed this novel model or the new Second Kind of Poisson effect. PS: I am actively seeking a faculty position in ME or BME. If you are on the search committee and come across my application, please give me a high score😁. A direct professorship invitation is also very welcome 😁. I am Hai Dong from @GeorgiaTech @MEGeorgiaTech @CoulterBME @GleasonLab @CabreraAngel

Good luck to our own Likhit Nayak, who presents his PhD proposal this morning! @ibbgatech biosciences.gatech.edu/hg/item/668622
