Medicine isn’t just about finding the right therapies — it’s also about getting them to where in the body they’re needed. These new smart proteins can autonomously read bodily cues to zero in on the exact locations of diseases. @coledeforest washington.edu/news/2025/10/0…

Professors often tell graduate students that “Your PhD is a #marathon, not a sprint”. Having now run the 2024 @SeattleMarathon (many years after finishing a PhD), I now actually feel qualified to make such a statement. @UWMedicine
