Happy to announce that I defended my PhD last week! Thanks to my PI @NehaPKamat for guiding me to the finish line. I'm going to spend the next few months accomplishing another dream of traveling the world while I consult on the side. First stop, Oslo! #phdone

Imagine if your cells had their own Iron Man suits. We could supercharge our cells to have new and enhanced functions with nanotechnology. I wanted to explore this idea of cellular wearables as a different form of biohacking. https://t.co/Cwge44x7qs

Will people soon just be covered in wearables? My colleague Haleigh Eppler discusses wearables and their impact in healthcare and daily life.

I'm starting a Substack with my friend! Check out my first post on using smell for medical diagnostics.

@parmita I'm in SF and currently a postdoc in the biotech field. Would love to meet up and chat about what your company is doing and your vision.

[Timothy Vu @TheTimVu]

@RhysLindmark @agupta @ycombinator Oh cool and congrats! Would love to pick your brain about your experience at Ginkgo while you're here in SF.

It's a crazy world in academia. What people will do for that CNS publication. And the problems with the academic visa culture.

[Timothy Vu @TheTimVu]

@RhysLindmark @CJHandmer @alexsaraki That's definitely an @alexsaraki question.

@SGRodriques If you fold quietly, you can raise again at another company and waste more cash.

[Timothy Vu @TheTimVu]

Back onto Twitter (never X) because I got shown this graph from @RhysLindmark that I need to be advertising myself more.

@graciouswoodsy Hi mom!

[Timothy Vu @TheTimVu]

@graciouswoodsy I'm so awful with names... Sad because it makes me seem uninterested but I just can't remember names unless I write it down.

@instagram my friend's account got disabled after her phone got stolen and she can't get back in and Customer Service isn't getting back. Can you please get back to us?

[Timothy Vu @TheTimVu]

@avnibarman_ Oh I'd love to see an example

RT appreciated.

So many questions. Why didn't you park in the hotel lot? If your car wasn't there, why would you need to look at the security footage? How did you find your car so quickly during that phone call? Did you even check the neighborhood the breakdown? I'll never know... Off to Denver!

[Timothy Vu @TheTimVu]

Life update: this morning in a KC hotel, I woke up to a woman in the lobby crying and yelling hysterically. She's screaming "my car is stolen! He stole my car!" I peak out the window and see my car is still there and ok, so now it's fun and games. 1/n

[Timothy Vu @TheTimVu]

Well my partner and I finish eating our breakfast (not good) and pack our car when we see her on the phone walking away from the hotel... So she's on foot now... As we're about to leave she rolls up in her car in the parking lot! Terrible park job of course. 7/n
