Very honored to host the great @drsanjaygupta (Associate Chief of Neurosurgery at @HospitalGrady and Chief Medical Correspondent at @CNN) on his visit to our labs today to explore the latest research (through @NU_QSIB) and commercialization (through @epicorebio) activities around our soft, skin-interfaced microfluidic devices – ‘lab on the skin’ technologies – for collection, capture and colorimetric biomarker analysis of microliter volumes of sweat. Lab tours, engaging discussions, in-depth interviews and live demonstrations – all in the context of a feature piece on this emerging method for medical diagnostics that will appear in December on the CNN show Vital Signs. Stay tuned! Big thanks to @aTonyBanks, @MingyuZhouNU and Monica Li for laboratory and device preparations, to Dr. Lorenzo Gallon for representing our clinical collaborations, and to @amanda_mo, Ana Wedding and @Ciran0 for logistical support. Excellent teamwork -- flawless execution from start to finish!

@NorthwesternEng microbiologists found that showerheads and toothbrushes are teeming with an extremely diverse collection of viruses—that target bacteria, not people. 😌 https://t.co/Y97o0RbdjU

@david_mitchell My favorite book ever! I have a signed copy from when you visited Chicago for your Slade House book tour. Hope you make it back to the States soon!

Yet again, @WGNNews' @MikeLoweReports proves he's the best storyteller in television. His pieces fill my jaded heart with awe and wonder. Check out one of his latest on an @NU_EARTHSCI project to analyze dirt from the #Moon 🌕✨🚀🪨

[Alessandro F. Rotta Loria @Rotta_Loria]

Many thanks to the @FT for featuring the work of my group at @NorthwesternU about subsurface urban heat islands. We leave in a time characterized by very complex challenges for civil infrastructure, but we can turn such challenges into opportunities. https://t.co/Ve1l5sDLNk
