I'm so excited to share some of my work thus far next week!

@adianlorenzana The bus was 20 minutes late this morning and I knew...

@transmodality I found that changing my hand angle so it was in a position similar to writing, and injecting closer to the top of the thigh rather than the side made it easier. Trying to make it as natural feeling and with as little crossing as possible.

Trans people will always be here. We have always existed and we always will.

Right now, people are trying to legislate trans people out of existence. They are emboldening violence and harassment against trans kids and trans families.

All trans people, all trans kids, deserve self determination, access to life saving gender affirming care, and to be fully embraced in all aspects of public life.

@ThatAnnaMarie @UMassChemEng Yay! Glad you are joining and welcome to UMass ChemEng!

Leaving for break on a high note (failed western blot)

I'm having a great time watching all the talks at #IMES2021 there are so many perspectives on immunoengineering and where the field is going.

Thrilled to share our review on “Imaging Approaches to Monitor Inflammasome Activation”, online @JMolBiol sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Congratulations to the team @Shaheen30n @AnuHayat Extremely grateful for the opportunity @TheKulkarniLab @FitzgeraldKate

Highlights of the article include: history of bacterial cancer therapies (first used in the 1800s!), bacterial delivery of cytokines and antigens, immune responses to engin bacteria, combining bacterial therapies with other immunotherapies, and the current clinical trial space!

So excited and proud of my first review article "Bacteria-Based Immune Therapies for Cancer Treatment" being published in Seminars in Cancer Biology! You can read it here for free for the next little bit: authors.elsevier.com/c/1ds73,Nm41Hd…

I taught my first class today! After a summer of developing ideas it was amazing to see it all take shape. We had a great preliminary discussion asking "what is health and how can we engineer it?" I am so excited to learn from and teach my first year students!

It is high time for the @NSF to change their gender data collection practices. Nonbinary people are nonbinary not "do not wish to disclose"

Went backpacking last weekend, taking care of many mice this weekend... The duality of man

@thetruestsam Same hat!

I did gymnastics for several years as a kid and now there are three things are are undeniably true about me: I am compelled to swing from bars, I must walk on the curb (or other slightly raised ledge), and I cannot resist the urge to do a cartwheel when it strikes

@LarsUponMars Thank you Lars
