(Also seeking international sources.)

Biohybrid robot contracts like the human iris Patterning planar muscle layers can create biohybrid robots capable of unique and controllable muscle activity.

Excited to see our paper on biohybrid iris robots highlighted as an Editor's Choice in Science Robotics!

Update – it's back! Probably took the weekend off, unlike the rest of us who were still working.

The public’s one account for government. | Login.gov Use one account and password for secure, private access to participating government agencies.

I’m trying to access era commons to view grant scores but login.gov is not working. Anybody else experiencing this too?

I have not seen a crisis of this magnitude since yesterday

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

It’s just ridiculous. The review processes is broken

That’s an incredible idea. We spend so much time on peer review of papers and grants. #ihavenoideawhatarethenewhashtagsinbluesky

Has anyone used Hamilton syringes for stereotaxic injections in neonatal mice (P0-P3)? Any suggestions are much appreciated. I am used to using glass needles, but our current shared setup won’t accommodate this.

If you ever wondered where you should do your #postdoc.

Please add us. Thanks

It's not just UCSF. San Diego, LA, Boston, NY and others as well. Postdocs (and faculty) salaries are ridiculous which is why it is very difficult to hire talent.

As if I don't have enough WhatsApp groups for my kids' school and activities now I need to monitor this too! ;)
