So proud of @SamSpellicy for matching at Duke Neurosurgery! Now we have to start searching for real houses... #MatchDay2022 #Neurosurgerymatch

Ever built a biological robot? Want to learn how and why?

Check out this SciLight which touches on some of the innovative downstream applications of multi-cellular engineered living systems (M-CELS).

Honoured by the chance to work with so many great minds on this project.

Check out our "how-to" guide on multicellular engineered living systems!

I got to hear those 3 special words this Valentine's day and couldn't be happier.

"Accepted, minor revisions."

[Sam Spellicy, MD, PhD @SamSpellicy]

This is so surreal.

A piece of art I made is on a journal cover.

I had a great time sharing a lesson plan I developed with local K12 educators last weekend for @SciREN_Outreach!

The lesson uses hands-on model building and a relay race to teach nervous system organization, structure-function relationships, and the role of myelination🧠

[Austin Passaro, PhD @AustinPassaro]

If you are an educator or know one who might be interested in lesson materials, feel free to share this with him/her and let me know, I'd love to hear how teachers are using it or any aspects of it! https://t.co/0BJ5E6Gfm4

If you ever wake up and think, "I wonder what new electrophysiology techniques could be used with brain organoids" – we all do that, right...? – I have just the review for you! 🧠⚡️

The third paper from our September #MxWReads is written by @AustinPassaro et al. from @universityofga. They developed an objective index, the neural activity score (NAS), for improved results interpretation in toxicity screening and drug development: https://t.co/aF5GYfBZmE

It's Stem Cell Appreciation Day! If I tell my cells I appreciate them, will they produce better results in the lab?🤔

[Austin Passaro, PhD @AustinPassaro]

I'm doing some research on improving lab management in #biotech and #pharma companies (especially #startups!). If you work (or know someone) in these industries and would be willing to answer a few quick questions about your processes and needs in this area, please let me know!

Are you a K-12 STEM educator in GA (or know one) looking for inventive teaching aids?

@AustinPassaro and I started a new program with @UGANeuro and @UGAResearch.

Check out these ♻️ UGA grad student research posters and have one shipped to you for FREE!

If you have the time, please go vote for the graphical abstract we made for the Biorender competition 🙏 It does require creating an account, but it's free and easy! @SamSpellicy and I would really appreciate it!

[Sam Spellicy, MD, PhD @SamSpellicy]

Thrilled to learn that my submission made it to the Expert’s Choice Finals of the Biorender Graphical Abstract Competition!

It still has a chance to win a People’s Choice Award through voting at the link below.

Would love your votes if possible!
