I've been working at @UCL_Ultrasound on a neat application of ultrasound - ultrasonic rewarming, which may be used to rewarm cryopreserved tissues. To prevent your imagination from running wild, read more at: https://t.co/46KnxANHUz

Making the most of the rowing off-season by doing some more rowing (with @RuiXu1) 🚣‍♀️ 🏆

My article on the sound speed in vertebrae was chosen by Scilight to highlight! #Scilight https://t.co/FD4i0ECGlg

The speed of sound in a set of ex vivo vertebral laminae was surprisingly slow. Interested? Read more below:

I’m excited to present the concluding component of my PhD: "Array-Based Beamforming to the Vertebral Canal: Demonstration of Feasibility" at @ieeeius this evening in the "Beamforming Methodologies & Devices" session (5:30PM UTC). Hope to see some familiar faces there!

@zorkosaurus I too often mistake academics for magicians. Why not cover all bases?

If not, I am now 50% fish and will swim the rest of the way to @IEEEIUS2019

All-you-can-eat sushi prior to boarding a transatlantic flight - can the plane handle the extra weight?

Reading papers (very) distantly related to your research can be fun: https://t.co/KyalpnInyC

Giving your lab-mate access to your computer is fraught with twitter peril. I admire their attempt to imitate me, but I don't drop bananas and I don't get lost. Try harder next time :)

[Rui Xu @RuiXu1]

Bought a half dozen bananas today. Dropped five. Now they're all bruised but one. Could be worse.

I got lost on my way to work today. How does that happen?

[Rui Xu @RuiXu1]

I wonder how one loses their dentures in the parking lot.

[Rui Xu @RuiXu1]

@rmjonesPhD Ah, but then I'd miss out on the silly self-righteous satisfaction of threading through the parking lot that is Bayview.

The most dangerous part of my bike to work is the ~2 minutes immediately before arriving. Bad, but also good because I work in a hospital.

"But who is more environmentally friendly?" Important questions I ask myself, mid-drag race with an e-bike rider.

Jet-lag, bday celebrations, and a 5 AM row the next morning - the recipe for an accidental swim in Lake Ontario. Can confirm the water is warm.
