Published yesterday, in this paper we showed that up to 15% of a plant #biopolymer can be used in plastic consumer products without compromising their mechanical or thermal properties. Promising approach for reducing our dependency on plastics. Full Paper:

Yesterday, I ran my first marathon!! There really isn't a feeling quite like passing that finish line at the end of 26.2! Feeling super grateful to have the health and privilege to do such a thing
What an ABSOLUTE pleasure introducing students to @TheBraveRobot's animal-free dairy ice cream yesterday on the UVM campus! We had so many amazing conversations about #CellAg. This is the kind of outreach we had in mind while creating our club last year!
We're doing a super-critical cell ag infrastructure project and need $115k in donations - from individuals/foundations/companies, whoever! - before May 15 (a make-or-break deadline for this work getting done)
If anyone in the cell ag world would be able to help us - please DM!!!
So far, I was the only student in our lab with funding directed towards a project in #CulturedMeat (instead of medical applications of biomaterials). Today, that number is 2 as we welcome Gabby White this summer who won a fellowship from the Food Systems Dept. Welcome Gabby!
We are hiring postdocs! Work on adult and fetal tendon therapeutics and regenerative medicine strategies based on embryonic development. #postdoc#postdocposition Please retweet!
Congratulations to Gabby White, a junior in @uvm_bme@uvmcems@uvmvermont, who recieved a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) from @UVMFoodSystems @UVMFOUR to design and test new materials for #culturedmeat with @unculturedmeat this summer. Whoop whoop!

Grateful + excited to get another one of these! The applications for our materials is diverse, and I am constantly learning new things by tackling challenging problems.
