What makes the scales of the Amazonian fish, Arapaima gigas, resistant to breaking when piranhas attack? The answer could lead to the design of stronger, lightweight and flexible armors in the future, say material scientists at @UCSanDiego & @UCBerkeley. https://t.co/G1WaKM65Oi

@KritinKarkare @UCSDJacobs I'm really happy you did, too! I had a lot of fun working with you, and we miss you already 😭 Glad your next gig isn't too far away!

Say hello to soft human-machine interfaces! This soft robotic lens is controlled by the eyes--blink twice, the lens zooms in and out; look left, right, up or down, the lens follows. It could lead to visual prostheses and soft robots that can see. https://t.co/KGZNPAMbcb

@grobbins @mcdiana Happy birthday! I'll be up those ways next week, if you have any suggestions of things to do/see

Engineering students at @UCSDJacobs help a 5 yr old boy regain the use of his arms and it is truly the best news story you'll read today: https://t.co/VXv2BhFIJ1

What makes the 🦷teeth🦷 of the deep-sea dragonfish transparent? Materials scientists and marine biologists at @UCSanDiego @Scripps_Ocean teamed up to find out. https://t.co/kqqCNHbswd

@UCSDnews @ResearchUCSD @Matter_CP. Research funded by @AFOSR.

Teamwork makes the submarine work. This is what it's all about, and we're proud of the students on the @UCSanDiego Human-Powered Sub team who get it.

@UCSanDiego For every 10 gifts made-no matter the size-to the EnVision Arts and Engineering Maker Studio, the Powell Foundation will donate an additional $10,000 to the makerspace.

Students love having access to the tools at EnVision, and use the space for class & personal projects #ugive

[UCSD Engineering @UCSDJacobs]

YES! We love to see our alumni excelling. Josh earned his bioengineering degree from @UCSanDiego @ucsdbe, and is now working towards his master's in mechanical engineering at @sacstate while playing soccer for @SacRepublicFC. You go, Josh! We're rooting for you.

What if there was a way to extend the shelf life of donated blood? @NANO_UCSD PhD student & #ResearchExpo2019 winner Jia Zhuang is developing #nanoparticles to do just that. The goal is to help clinics keep up with the high demand for transfusions. https://t.co/K5EQHlDzmI

[Katherine Connor @katconnor3]

Wow! @sdvg and @CONNECTinSD are merging. That's a big shake up

[Brittany Meiling @BrittanyMeiling]

Mike Krenn to be new CEO of Connect, as SDVG and Connect merge!! https://t.co/2dTg0PVXj1 @sdut @CONNECTinSD @sdvg

[UCSD Engineering @UCSDJacobs]

We're getting excited 😀 200 @UCSanDiego engineering and computer science graduate students + 3 faculty TED talks + 250 industry professionals, faculty and @UCSDalumni = a great day. Every year for the past 37 years. See you on Thursday! https://t.co/1T6Einnpi5

[Katherine Connor @katconnor3]

Pour one out for these guys. Shedding a tear
