Attending @UNTEngineering @BMENunt this fall and want to learn about research opportunities in my lab. We are having an open lab meeting on August 26. Scan the QR code to let me know you're coming. #gomeangreen

@Thatsregrettab1 @TechCommMUNFEAS @MDPIOpenAccess When your goal is to complete peer review in three days. It is best to spam 10 researchers and wait for the 3 fastest to say yes.

Excited to get the official tenure promotion confirmation today. Big thanks to the support of my fellow faculty and my outstanding graduate students.

[Brian Meckes @MeckesLab]

Graduate students in the Meckes lab were out in force yesterday at the BDI research expo. Great work from all my advisees!

@Nature Some of these fits are kinda sketch at best. The US line, sure. The India one seems bimodal.

@ecommerceshares @Alfonso_Comino As far as I can tell, they do 30-second unskippable ads. I hear consumers love this. There next biggest innovation is e-commerce; what exactly they do there, I have no idea.

Imagine spending your time designing experiments to test efficacy of interventions in animal models for some politician to summarize it as “a hamster cage fight”. ☠️ At least attempt to disagree with science or methods and not intentionally mislead the goals.

Want to learn how DNA can be used to program cell interactions across multiple levels and its applications? read our recent review led by @katelynmm44.

Hot off the press! Our recent work looking at mechanical influences over lung cancer cells in biomimetic systems led by @AfiaKohon in collaboration with Yong Yang. Some really great perspectives for nanoparticle design considerations and screening.

How is the Microsoft word editor so freaking bad. Surely, they can implement some of that Open AI deal in the one context it actually makes sense.

Why do my children turn into camels at night time? I swear they have the urge to drink their next day’s water needs right before they fall asleep.

[Brian Meckes @MeckesLab]

Read about our most recent work on photocaged oligonucleotides in hydrogels led by the outstanding @katelynmm44 in #CellReportsPhysicalScience. 5 of the authors on this manuscript were high school students! @untengineering @TAMSUNT @BMENunt https://t.co/Uk7vYt0tHt

@UNC_Optics @MicrobiomDigest @nickwizzo MDPI will do it. They offer you a fee waiver as an invited contributor.

[Brian Meckes @MeckesLab]

@MicrobiomDigest @nickwizzo I get offered them every few weeks. This is their strategy for trying to get papers. They basically want almost complete manuscripts.

[Brian Meckes @MeckesLab]

What is your regrettable grant submission routine? Mine is reading the whole grant the day before submission out of paranoia. At least I am getting more efficient at this. #onlymidnight #AcademicChatter

[Brian Meckes @MeckesLab]

@HRBlock are you ever going to finish the stupid clean vehicle credit. Can I have a refund for your software. How does it take 3+ months to implement something so simple?

[Brian Meckes @MeckesLab]

Lovely celebration of our outstanding undergraduate and graduate students. It is always a pleasure working with such great students. @BMENunt @UNTEngineering #aemb

[Brian Meckes @MeckesLab]

Tremendous presentation and huge congratulations to Natanael Monroy who defended his master's today. He has done an amazing job building an adaptable printing machine for our lab. Details to follow in the future.

[Brian Meckes @MeckesLab]

@StoverLab I honestly started talking about this head on. My bad for training grad students to become researchers during my postdoc and being second (co-first author).

[Brian Meckes @MeckesLab]

@MicrobiomDigest @SmutClyde I literally laughed out load at this. It is just an absurd picture.
