Some seasonal decorations from our group and those from @RoxburyLab @IAndreuNano ! Their decorating skills far surpass mine (but yes, that’s me on the bat!)

Thanks to @RILifeSciHub for supporting some of our work creating biomimetic hydrogels and investigating how nanotherapeutics transport in cell-laden networks!

ICYMI ‼️ The Hub recently awarded grants to 14 organizations to fuel research and workforce development in RI's life sciences sector. Stay tuned to learn more about how these grantees are driving innovation and growth in our state! 🔍🔬🧬

And so begins another 1+ week of this image burning into my phone screen every time I need to find a talk. See you all soon at #AIChE!

Just in time for fall, some of our slimy, drippy, some might even say spooky gels featured on the cover of @softmatter! Highlight our work by @Elnaz_NM, identifying yielding and fracturing motifs in colloidal gels: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

When your partner goes “well I assume you got this word first” and then you have to admit that you didn’t even think of it and maybe he knows your research better than you do… 😔😔

Proud of my alma mater @cooperunion for returning to full tuition scholarships! 🎉 Because of these scholarships, students can excel inside and outside of the classroom unlike anywhere else in higher education

The first day of the semester at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York on Tuesday came with a surprise for its college seniors. Their tuition for the year will be free. nyti.ms/3AYE9Ea

Surprise! A Class of College Seniors Learns Tuition Will Be Free. (Published 2024)

Tuition used to be free for all students at the Cooper Union, in New York City. The school announced it was bringing back the perk, at least for seniors.

Well actually...

Peanut Butter is a liquid. We said what we said.



Glad to see this published the same day I presented it at #ACSColloids! We designed gels with identical linear rheology but with different interactions. They exhibit distinct nonlinear failure modes and thixotropy Great work by @Elnaz_NM pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

It’s impossible to address these inequities without accurate data. Disappointed to see this obstruction but glad that the community is holding agencies accountable. Thank you @freemanjb for your work on this.

The agency who generates official diversity statistics for the US scientific workforce was forced to give up its pilot data, which show it's been misrepresenting its data to avoid adding LGBTQ+ questions. @NCSESgov is obstructing LGBTQ+ equity in science. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…



Our lab has a new toy to begin testing the performance of our complex fluids as 3D printing inks. Thanks to @Dr_COB for help designing this set up, which was built completely by a team of undergrads sponsored by @URIEngineering!

.@RIPTA_RI bus service to our universities is essential to growing our workforce, meeting student needs, and increasing access to education for communities across the state. We should be expanding service to the university not cutting!

In other RIPTA news, the agency is adding another community meeting about revised proposed service changes. This one will be at the University of Rhode Island Memorial Student Union in Kingston on April 19 from noon to 2 pm.



Excited to announce the inaugural Queer Science night in collaboration with Youth Pride focusing on getting our hands messy with soft materials and building STEM identities in LGBTQ+ youth! Providence locals, stop by and say hi! More details: fb.me/e/1KCp28ALY
