@bmoore-beth.bsky.social We are delighted to announce that Dr. Teresa O'Meara ‪was awarded the Henry Russel award at U-M. Our highest honor for an early-mid career faculty member for her outstanding research and teaching! @teresaomeara.bsky.social ‬ @umichmicroimmuno.bsky.social

Undergraduates from Knight Campus labs and programs like Wu Tsai HPA and Knight Campus Scholars will present their research at the 2025 Undergraduate Research Symposium! Learn more: knightcampus.uoregon.edu/knight-campu... #UOResearch #KnightCampus

I wrote this in a week where it felt like professoring while parenting (and equally, parenting while professoring) was impossible. This feeling ebbs and flows. Seems like Mothers Day is as good a time as any to share, maybe it will help someone else feel less alone. The More Paradox 1/8

Excited to see this out in @science.org today!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Dr. Jonathan Dorogin is the latest graduate of the Bioengineering PhD Program! His research focused on engineering shelf-stable hydrogels functionalized with affibodies in @marianhh.bsky.social's lab. Read more about his time at the Knight Campus here: knightcampus.uoregon.edu/bridging-aca....

Wondering if your study section cancelled? I update this sheet daily. As of today, 56/124 study sections that should have met since Jan 2, 2025 have "not met as scheduled." docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

My colleague Dan beat me to the punch but I am so thankful that my hometown paper (and others) was willing to share this with the community.

Hate that this is the reason to be in the news, but anything to get coverage for the flies! 💀 🪰🧪https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/20/nih-trump-executive-orders

My statement regarding the decision to drop the second round of the CZI Science Diversity Leadership Award funding opportunity:

Honored to receive a Sloan research fellowship. So many scientists I admire are among the Sloan alumni list, and it's a bit surreal to see my name there. A huge thank you to the Alfred P. Sloan foundation for their unwaivering dedication to supporting scientific research.

Special shout out this AM to NIH 🧪 grant mgmt specialists, POs, and SROs during this chaotic time - THANK YOU for caring for our grants and uploading scores/summary statements despite the unprecedented challenges you may be facing. You are science warriors and we APPRECIATE & SUPPORT YOU 🫶

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth. It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

Join us at the HUB annual meeting! It's directly before the #SFB annual meeting - so easy for you biomaterials folks. one day meeting, packed with great speakers and networking, and an opportunity for pilot grant $$!!!

Extremely disappointed to see HHMI decide to kill their Inclusive Excellence program, including terminating the current IE3 awards to over a hundred institutions effective this year in the middle of a 6-year grant. I was hoping HHMI (and other private funders) would continue to lead the way.

Join us THIS WEDNESDAY (2/5) for Jonathan Dorogin's PhD Defense🌟. Jonathan is a Bioengineering student from @marianhh.bsky.social's lab working on engineering shelf-stable affibody-functionalized hydrogels.

How it feels to be working on a grant application right now.

I'm excited to use my first post here to share our recent paper! We used in silico, in vivo, and in vitro methods to show that interstitial fluid flow plays a role in tissue damage after spinal cord injury. The full article is available here: aiche.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The Almeida Lab is #hiring a #PhD student with research interests in #biomaterials and #stemcells for #Fall2025! Please share with any interested students! #BME #biomedicalengineering #chemicalengineering

Thank you @bmes-cmbe.bsky.social for the gala dinner last night to celebrate the CMBE Rising Star Awardees! ⭐️ Hoping more of these superstars join BlueSky! @marianhh.bsky.social @rituraman.bsky.social @fraleylab.bsky.social

Thank you for the invitation and the honor of this award! It was so wonderful to present our work to this community!

Rising Stars 2025! @brianaguado.bsky.social @marianhh.bsky.social @rituraman.bsky.social Drs. Cai, Chen, Yanxiang, Hind, Hong, Hwang, Joshi, Lee, Li, Loebel, Mistriotis, Nakayama, Nia, Raghavan, Wang, Weinstein

Congratulations to Justin Svendsen and co-authors on our newest preprint on using computational protein design to engineer affibodies that can control the release of VEGF and PDGF! Looking forward to talking about this work at the BMES Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering conference next week! 🎉

I curated a list of really smart scientists (and me) of Latin American and/or Hispanic background to follow… Still trying to figure out Bsky, so I apologize if there’s already one going around. Please help spread the word, and let me know if you’d like to be added. go.bsky.app/ReQgt2H

Exciting research from @uoregon.bsky.social #KnightCampus, led by Kylie Williams, develops new technology to measure real-time strain during bone recovery! Researchers found that incorporating resistance training during recovery can significantly enhance bone healing. 🦴💪 Learn more: bit.ly/4gg7ius

New paper from the Olanrewaju Lab. We showed that we can measure HIV medications, including one used in recently approved long-acting injectable treatments, based on the drugs’ inhibition of viral DNA synthesis. Paper: doi.org/10.1007/s002... Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2024... 1/5

Biomaterials people, let me know you're out there so I can keep adding to the pack!!!

Hello world! It's a beautiful day in Oregon today.
