Strasbourg is so beautiful in summer. Many thanks to organisers Anuja, Hirak, Sohini and David for inviting me to the E-MRS spring meeting! Got lots of interesting ideas for integrating smart materials with microfluidics. n/n

It was a pleasure to give a talk at my first European Materials Research Society conference. I spoke about our work on measuring Young’s modulus of single RBCs, & Neha Biswas (PhD student) spoke about #microfluidic step emulsification to encapsulate cell in hydrogel beads. 1/n
