Studies squishy things with lasers and other cool toys. Teaches physics and biophysics. 🏳️‍🌈

[Ramón Castañeda-Priego @phdramoncp]

Fermín, Pablo, Gerardo and my colleague @ryanmcgorty, from the University of San Diego, just arrived at León. As part of a San Diego-Guanajuato-NSF collaboration, the students will spend a couple of months here with us working on research topics related with Soft Matter Physics.

Congratulations to Lei Tian @LeiTian14 @BU_ece @BostonU_BME @BUCollegeofENG and Ryan J. McGorty @ryanmcgorty @usdcas for “3D Dynamics Quantification with Differential Dynamic Light-Field Microscopy.”

@phdramoncp Thanks Ramón! It was great to chat with you, Erick, Natalia, Paco, and everyone else. It’ll be a great collaboration for our students!

[The Problem With Jon Stewart @TheProblem]

Jon interviewed Leslie Rutledge, Arkansas Attorney General, about why her state banned gender-affirming care for minors - ignoring the guidelines of major medical organizations and taking the decision out of parents’ hands. Watch the full interview on @AppleTVPlus

Great work by a couple former and current @usdcas undergrads now out! Excited to highlight our rheo-optical setup

Jayland Walker was shot at by Akron cops 90 times and hit 60 times.

He was handcuffed after.

Jayland Walker’s family deserves justice, but justice would be Jayland making it home.

These officers must be held accountable.

Big news for trans people out of Spain! Spain just drafted a new law that will allow trans youth there to change their legal gender freely at 16 years old without parental permission. For all the talk about how TERFs are taking over Europe, they are not succeeding in Spain.

Differential dynamic microscopy, a new way to probe cytoskeletal network dynamics. Fun collaboration with @ryanmcgorty and Rae Robertson-Anderson: https://t.co/QgPgujmCLb

[Ryan McGorty @ryanmcgorty]

Many impressive light-sheet microscopy images of living cells out there. Not so much of dead squishy things. Let's do more light-sheet imaging of soft matter! Check it out. Great work by 1st author on this, undergrad Ruilin, he built lab's SOLS. https://t.co/SIzaxT4ckj

[Soft Matter @softmatter]

Read the interview with our latest Soft Matter Emerging Investigator Ryan McGorty @ryanmcgorty https://t.co/DZ7G85pZEY
Check out his article on anomalous and heterogeneous DNA transport in biomimetic cytoskeleton networks at https://t.co/k0vOrXkguo

I filled in for the amazing Dr. Samaya Nissanke @samayanissanke for the talk "Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Gravitational-wave Astrophysics" for the 'Workshop on Gravitational Wave Astrophysics for Early Career Scientists'

Here is the twitterfied version of my talk

the police are killing kids under 18 all over the country.

the Chicago PD kills more kids under 18 than any other local police department in the country.

@AndrewGYork That's right! And I should add: Ruilin You will be giving a poster at the APS March Meeting (though I can't guarantee everything we said we'd do in the abstract will have been done given our new campus closure 😬) https://t.co/1lPVhvWxc6

Maybe the first ever undergraduate-built single-objective light sheet? Anyway, if you need a future grad student to build one, he graduates next year.

[Ryan McGorty @ryanmcgorty]

Excited to announce new paper from the lab with an amazing undergraduate physics/ee double major as first author. We describe a microscopy method to measure motion happening faster than the camera frame rate.

This undergrad student is now working on building a whole new microscope. Following the published work of @RetoPaul @HillmanLab @Bin_YANG_Optics @OptoManishK @amsikking @AndrewGYork (and others I've missed; thanks! we so appreciate the published details!) we're building:

Happy #LGBTQSTEMDay! Coincidentally, husband and I got married officially yesterday though we had our wedding ceremony years ago. Yes, I have a PhD in physics and didn't realize the first time that getting married involves forms.

@Singh_Virender Should be available from here: https://t.co/iIqHBwg6x4

[Ryan McGorty @ryanmcgorty]

Excited to have a paper out in the first issue of @BiophysicalSoc's The Biophysicist. Read all about undergraduate labs to get students learning about liquid-liquid phase separation and biomolecular condensates. https://t.co/X3jxTA1wML

First full day back at work after our adventures in South America. Now really need to cram in some class prep (excited to be teaching biophysics!) and work in the lab (rheometer installation!) before semester starts.
