Hi everyone! I'm offering a new course, Introduction to Mechanobiology, for upper-level undergraduates and new graduate students in engineering. I'm seeking a textbook and resources for teaching. If you've taught a similar course or have recommendations, I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!
