@CampasLab @PoLDresden @UCSBengineering @ScienceMagazine Saw this today! Very cool

Really excited to present the results of a great collaboration between our group @PoLDresden and Elliot Hawkes at @UCSBengineering, which were just published in @ScienceMagazine. This is perhaps the most unexpected project we have done, mixing physics, biology and robotics! 🤖 Congratulations to awesome graduate student Matt Devlin, who led the efforts, and also to Sangwoo Kim and Elliot Hawkes! 🎉 For an easy overview, please check this article: physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/news/2025/02/2… Here is the actual paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@thechanglab and @wilkinglab are looking to hire multiple postdocs with expertise in fluid mechanics, drop-based microfluidics, and 3D printing. If you know of any promising candidates, please contact me directly

@_SumanB @MayoClinic @ARPA_H Congrats man!

Stoked our @MayoClinic team secured @ARPA_H funding to develop a bioelectronic cell therapy device for IBD! The #EASE platform will transform inflammatory disease management. Excited to work with an exceptional team of engineers, scientists, clinicians, and industry partners!

Mayo Clinic is the prime site for an @ARPA_H award to develop an implantable device that delivers antibodies to control inflammatory bowel disease and a wearable component that tells the device when to deliver cell therapy. Learn more: mayocl.in/3N9KI9X

Task switching creates “event boundaries” in your memory encoding circuits, which leads to fragmented and less robust recall and accuracy of your experiences, also degrades knowledge etc. @CharanRanganath explains on the Huberman Lab podcast out now:

New John Baez just dropped. A 129 pages text on 'what is entropy' and it's for free, big homie.

@PRSecor Whatever you do, don’t leave the MUS! Apparently lab notebooks don’t leave the state…
