@UVADeanJWest @UVAEngineers I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw the sign over the summer. Already a patron 😆

[Jennifer L. West @UVADeanJWest]

Many thanks to all the people working hard to get our facilities ready for the new school year! @UVAFM

Newer Tunabot models are faster and bigger—and may one day outperform fish. @UVA Engineering graduate Carl White (aka The Tunabot Guy) has dedicated his research to advancing underwater vehicles. @BIERLABS1 @georgelauder @BostEngineering @EPrinceton @hseas https://t.co/wJpCidbZxy

Zack Landsman, Systems Engineering PhD 2nd year, and his team with Printers 4 Kids, received $30,000 in funding from the Jefferson Trust to found UVA's plastic recycling mill. The project is working to create a 100% retaining process for recycling E-waste.

There's a doctor in the house! UVA Medical Center third-year resident Dr. Claudia Guttierez is collaborating with UVA mechanical engineers to understand the mechanical properties of vocal folds (cords) and gain insight for surgery & repair. @CGutierrez_MD @uvaotohns @JimDanieroMD

We are excited the Hoos returned to Grounds yesterday to begin the spring semester! The start of a new semester is a great time to review the @UVA Emergency Procedures. Make sure to also update your space with the latest Emergency Procedures Poster.

This is awesome. It's a pain to do in Solidworks, so to do it in a (seeming) breeze IN THE SLICER is huge.

Introducing the new Text tool in PrusaSlicer 2.6! Quickly customize any model by embossing/debossing text or even by using it as a modifier. The real game-changer? With a single click, the text can follow curved surfaces! #3Dprinting #PrusaSlicer

@GuildOfMakers A2: I break for me! Took me until just yesterday to even make something for the holiday, so some downtime is in order. Model by Graantje https://t.co/MCoRv36iaq

@peterso58518258 I know it stinks to see your free work used for some else’s gain, but you posted it to Thingiverse with a CC-BY license, so it’s fair game for that. They did credit you (not fully correctly, but they tried at least a little), so they haven’t done anything wrong.

Please help us congratulate associate professor Baoxing Xu for earning the 2023 Young Investigator Medal from the Society of Engineering Science! This medal is awarded to a young researcher whose work has already impacted their field within engineering science. @SocEngScience

The #UVAStrong community responded to the tragic deaths of three student-athletes with an outpouring of emotion, support and love on Monday and Tuesday. Across Grounds, these gestures took shape in ways small and large.

[UVA @UVA]

Our hearts are broken at the loss of three members of our community, Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., and D’Sean Perry and our two UVA students currently receiving care from our medical center. Our #UVA family truly appreciates all the support from all over the country today. 🧡

University Police has reported that the suspect has been taken into custody.
