Great visit to University of Cincinnati BME and CHE departments. My former PhD student, Dr. Jon Nickels, is an associate professor there doing exceptional research on protein dynamics, focusing on simulating and understanding material and molecule behavior at the atomic scale.

Take action now. NIH’s 15% indirect cost cap threatens research institutions, jobs, and innovation. Customize & send AIMBE’s advocacy letter to urge Congress to stop this harmful policy. Your voice matters!
