“The strength of our test is in its simplicity. Use the base of a AA battery to measure the worn region of your slip-resistant shoe. When the worn region becomes larger than the base of a battery, the shoe should be replaced." engineering.pitt.edu/News/2021/Batt…

We lost a true friend, colleague, innovator and @PittBioE alumnus. Rest in peace, Jarad Prinkey BSBioE '00 MSBioE '05 fergusonfunerals.com/obituary/jarad…
