Like water softening a sponge, water can dramatically alter the mechanics of a cornea.
Happy to share our latest publication in which we differentiate between the mechanical contributions from the solid matrix and internal water within the cornea.

Congratulations to Dr. Giuliano Scarcelli (@scarc1) on being named the recipient of an #NSFCAREER award. Dr. Scarcelli is working on a novel imaging technology to measure how biological cells grow into complex tissues during embryonic development.
... the winners of the "BIOE Cutest Pet Photo Contest" are: 1st-Cheddar w/ the pine cone , 2nd-Simba the cat, 3rd-Bailey the goldendoodle. Congrats to these adorable pets! But really all of our pets deserve a round of applause for sticking by our side during #Quarantine.

Proud to announce our collaborative effort with @JHElisseeff group at @JohnsHopkins was accepted for publication in @Biomaterials_ . We investigated a method to increase the therapeutic potential of a transplantable, corneal substitute.

January is #Glaucoma Awareness Month. BIOE assistant professor Giuliano Scarcelli was awarded the Shaffer Grant for Innovative Glaucoma Research by the Glaucoma Research Foundation. More on Scarcelli's research: https://t.co/86VReTLCC5 @GlaucomaOrg
Woke up early to run. Ended up watching the second half of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban instead.
At this point, might as well just skip work and start the Goblet of Fire.
