Diana Hammerstone will be defending her PhD on Tuesday 15 July at 2 pm ET! Our lab makes posters to announce and celebrate each defense— check them out 😁 #biomaterials #lehighMSE #lehighBIOE @lehighu.bsky.social @lehighengineers.bsky.social

I am so deeply sad to share that our beloved dog Rosa passed away last night. It was unexpected and quick, which is the only thing bringing us peace. She was the best girl. We were so, so lucky to know her and love her. @pashucklab.bsky.social

We are headed to Chicago this week for #SFB2025! Check out presentations by Sara Oswald, Diana Hammerstone, and Andrew Kitson👇 See you soon, #biomaterials friends! ☺️@lehighengineers.bsky.social

Anyone else getting email requests from VWR, Sigma, Fisher,+ asking you to send “end user contact info” before a vendor will ship? This seems to be happening more frequently, and it holds up orders because I miss the email or it doesn’t look like a legit email… 🤔

Fantastic #LehighBIOE seminar by @chasecornelison.bsky.social today! Really enjoyed learning about your lab’s latest work towards neuronal regeneration. Thanks so much for visiting! @umassamherst.bsky.social @lehighengineers.bsky.social @tomasgf.bsky.social @pashucklab.bsky.social
