On the GRID: Skin Sensors Transforming Healing On the GRID · Episode

Want to hear more about our research? check out this link to a podcast i recently did at @heriotwattuni.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/7bWj...

It was raining here earlier….

Brisbane at night 🥰

Taking the CityCat along the Brisbane river has to be one of BrisVegas’s top things to do. Cost? 50 cents per person

Arrived in Australia. This seems nice

First time on a podcast! Fun conversations about research @heriotwattuni.bsky.social

Ok, I’ll say it. I actually like Microsoft teams. Come at me.

I think that every startup coaching presentation is contractually bound to state:
- it’ll be hard work
- never say XYZ (coach A)
- start with XYZ (coach B)
- it’ll be hard work

Excited to hit 100 followers! As more intro: I love the excitement of discovery, learning, innovating and trying to commercialise medical technologies that are skin and other soft tissue related. Might annoy you with daft ideas if you're a medic. Might annoy you with daft ideas if you're not...

In 2.5 weeks i'll be leaving to go to Australia to visit family and friends. Can't wait....but also, the amount of work that needs to be done before then seems almost impossibly mega.

Thanks for this. A few people to add (besides me 😉) @clairebrockett.bsky.social @drmcrichton.bsky.social @mark-a-robinson.bsky.social @raphmesquita.bsky.social @kurtlab.bsky.social @profstevegriffin.bsky.social @jojolaing.bsky.social @gracekellaher.bsky.social

@drdavidmoore.bsky.social welcome! We missed you at the edskin symposium :-)

New to @bsky.app. I’m an associate professor in exercise physiology, interests in immunology, ageing and muscle. Looking forward to connecting with people here!

That’s super interesting. Are there any papers about how this happens? Would be cool to explore

The biomechanics of wounds at physiologically relevant levels: Understanding skin's stress-shielding effect for the quantitative assessment of healing Wounds are responsible for the decrease in quality of life of billions of people around the world. Their assessment relies on subjective parameters wh…

My amazing postdoc Sara Medina-Lombardero published this paper on wound healing earlier in the year. Did you know that when you get a wound, your skin adapts its structure to make sure the wound can recover without having forces put on it? How cool! 🧪

A big hello to all - I work at Heriot Watt Uni where our lab looks at how soft tissues change mechanically with health and disease, and then we try to develop simple sensors to measure these things. Maybe this is just a long winded way to say i poke stuff....

Many thanks @manelcamacho.bsky.social - looking forward to being part of the conversation!

(and yes, sadly Edinburgh is not 25 degrees C today!)

Hi Manuel, I'm Michael 👉https://researchportal.hw.ac.uk/en/persons/michael-crichton. Could i be added to the science feeds? Thanks!

and wonderful to find twitter friends on here :-)
