Ok, it took me a few days to muster the courage to listen to myself on a podcast, but I really enjoyed talking to @DrugDiscovNews about sex differences and heart valves! What a fun experience, and such a joy to be alongside the wonderful @BrianAguado and @AnsethGroup!
Congratulations to @AnaMaPorras!! Winner of the @aaas Early Career Award for Public Engagement in Science (and possibly the only person in the world capable of getting me out of Twitter hibernation). So proud of her amazing work!!
@AnaMaPorras This one makes me smile every time I look at it! Because you know GAGs are my fave. โค๏ธ๐๐ฅฐ
Also I think I'll use several of these in lecture materials in future, since they are so good at conveying info in a fun way!
In my #extracellularmatrix engineering class, I offered an extra credit assignment to make a meme (or graphical abstract) illustrating an ECM-related concept. The results brought me great joy, so I thought I'd share some of my favorites (all with permission).
@mholla_back Sure! Trimmed a bit to fit in screen capture so I can more easily put in this post, but here are the basics:
[graphical abstract instructions were a separate section - all but 1 student chose to do a meme]
@melissa_skala Well, I can't study the ECM very well without imaging, so I think what that means is that we have complementary expertise and should collaborate. ๐๐
Free ice cream, a mini-concert by the UW band, a high-five from Bucky, beautiful Terrace views, and a farewell pic with @BeckyBlank -- you know, just a typical Monday in Madison. ๐ #OnWisconsin
I'm always so conflicted watching students graduate - it's hard to see them leave, but I'm excited for what's in store for them next. Best of luck to all of our @UWMadison_BME graduates! You are awesome. ๐คฉ #UWGrad#OnWisconsin
