Today we celebrated one of my favorite annual traditions—the Institute of #Biomedical Engineering BBQ to mark the start of the academic year. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and meet with students as we look forward to the year ahead.

To celebrate our undergraduate summer students, the #ProjectMaVen team got together at the pub to hear about what they’ve learnt and to enjoy ourselves. Aisha did a great job on her presentation #ProudPI

Sometimes the universe rewards me for going on an early morning run 😍. Isn’t she pretty???
Plus I was thankful for an excuse to catch my breath by stopping for a pic 😅

You know it is a good book when you really want to find time to keep reading but also want to make sure to slow down so it doesn't end!

…swirl of movement and magic.
The drums speak. The bodies respond. And suddenly Cirque doesn’t just entertain—it vibrates with life.

There’s something magical that happens when the color, chaos, and choreography of #CirqueduSoleil are infused with Brazilian music.
From the first notes of samba to the echo of berimbau, the show transforms. The rhythm pulses through the artists, drives the story, and pulls you into the 1/2

Big energy at this week’s Project #MaVen meeting!
The meeting was a real reminder of what makes MaVen special: interdisciplinary collaboration.
Whether it’s bioengineering, stem cell biology, bioethics or computational science, innovation happens at the intersections—and our community thrives there.

Meanwhile in #Japan: facemasks with #exosomes.
I have so many questions!Is this for real or ‘marketing’? What’s the regulation behind this? Where do the exosomes come from? Human? What tests were done to show exosomes promote skin turnover? I regret not purchasing it to try to find out details

Today we celebrated Chao’s last day with cake and laughter. She worked for 2 yrs in my lab and Mike’s lab contributing tremendously to our large animal studies-and even had twins along the way (though my campaign to name them Mike and Sara failed!). Best of luck, Chao - you will be missed!
