Honored to give the keynote at @frostscience.org.web.brid.gy annual fundraiser, celebrating Leonardo da Vinci: 500 Years of Genius.

I shared how Leonardo’s curiosity, imagination, and creativity continues to inspire interdisciplinary science, art, and discovery, even in the Age of AI.

Thrilled to announce our FlumeX paper in HardwareX!! 🌊⚙️
😀🥳

We built an inexpensive, open-source flume for exploring biological 🪸 + environmental flows 🌊. A major collaborative effort, supported by DARPA REEFENSE!

📢RT! 🚨New Preprint Alert 🚨😀😀

In collab. with @prannoysuraneni.bsky.social @coralprof.bsky.social and others @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

We showed that local alkalinity enhancement using artificial substrates increases survivorship of early-stage coral recruits www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In Japan, I also enjoyed seminar visits to Kyoto University & Nagoya University!! Thanks for hosting me Prof. Koichiro Maki and Prof. Jeong Kim 😀 I was impressed to see your labs, hear about your research, had really insightful scientific discussions, and yummy food of course 😋🍣🇯🇵🏯

🥳 We got our Christmas present - our paper was accepted in PNAS!! @pnas.org 😀🎄🎅

Congrats to my student Shubham Sinha, collabs. Rieko Asai, Takashi Mikawa 😀

We showed that cellular flows initiate L-R patterning prior to laterality gene expression in amniotes! 🐣
