Abstract deadlines for Society For Biomaterials (SFB) meeting have been extended to Nov 4 (Early Bird, $25) and Nov 12 (Regular Submission. $50). What a Halloween treat! Consider submitting to "Sex as a biological variable in biomaterials research" for all sex differences work.

I am at #AIChE2024 this week and am part of four presentations - and am recruiting graduate students interested in joining my educational research group! Feel free to stop by if you want a STEM comic, have questions about my group/research, or just want to say hi!

At 8:00 a.m. in San Diego Convention Center, Room 30D join Assistant Professor Ben Woolston @WoolstonLabNEU present, "Harnessing Acetogenic Bacteria for Sustainable Chemical Production from Single-Carbon Substrates."

@LindaGGriffith1 ACS had childcare on site for 3-14 y.o. AIChE had some travel grants for $500 for childcare. Is there a way to link with care.com to help?

BMES friends: Do we need free child care for trainees and pre-tenure faculty at BMES meetings? Informal poll this week = YES. Who wants to help me boot it up? So much young energy there - how can we make it easy for young parents? science.org/content/articl…

🎉 Congratulations to the 2024 Class of BMES Fellows! 🎓 These leaders are pushing boundaries in biomedical engineering, driving innovation, and shaping the future of healthcare. #BMES2024 #BMESFellows

Proud to sponsor these 25 incredible scientists at this year's annual meeting! #AIChE2024 #WICisYOU @ChEnected

Come watch our PhD student Chinedu Okorafor in San Diego Convention Center Room 29B present, "Endothelial Glycocalyx of Human Lung Microvascular Endothelial Cells As a Regulator of Vascular Permeability in a Fibrotic Lung Environment."

Had such a great time at #BMES2024 reconnecting with friends and trying to recruit my first graduate students. See y’all next year in San Diego with my new @TulaneBME Health Equity Krewe @BMESociety

Dr. Umit Ozkan, recipient of the 2024 Rousseau Pioneer Award, is being recognized at the #AIChEAnnual Honors Ceremony for bridging heterogeneous #catalysis and #electrocatalysis, her work as a teacher and mentor, and for blazing trails throughout her career. @OhioState @pfizer

Humbled and honored to receive the NSEF Forum Award at #AIChE2024. Join me at 9:30 AM in Sapphire Ballroom L (Level 4, Hilton Bayfront) to hear about how I overcame challenges and micro-aggressions to commercialize nanoparticles for cancer detection.

@christiecso @OrtegaOFG @LatinXinBME @AnaMaPorras @BrianAguado @BMESociety Especially happy to reconnect with friends & collaborators who have made this community extra special! Shout-out to @GraysonLab on his induction as a @BMESociety fellow AND co-chairing a spectacular #BMES2024 meeting! #squad

Thank you @NIBIBgov and @DrPlattLab for organizing the Building Bridges Across NIH and Engineering Meeting! It was an honor to share my lab’s vision and connect with @nih_nhlbi investigators leading HSCT research in sickle cell. Couldn’t ask for a better first talk as new faculty

A huge congratulations to @drlwilliams - so well deserved! #BMES2024

The first plenary at #bmes2024 is kicking off with Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic. A fantastic way to start the meeting! @GVNlab @BMESociety

The sun is coming up on the way to #BMES2024!

Are you ready for #BMES2024? I'm excited for the AIMBE Fellow Reception and the Session on #advocacy. See you in Baltimore! @BMESociety @aimbe
