Our 2025 Interdisciplinary Science Summit chalked up several “firsts” and our Idea to Application Lab was one of them. A dedicated session for Fellows to refine their pitch skills and garner direct feedback from investment and innovation experts. schmidtsciencefellows.org/news/growing-i…
Congratulations @ghpaulino 👏
Just received The Belytschko Medal during the #USNCCM conference in Chicago! Congrats to all other award winners for such great honors! @Princeton @EPrinceton @ASMEdotorg @ASCETweets @SocEngScience usnccm18.usacm.org
We traveled to DC to talk to Congressional Staffers about the impact of @NIH @NIBIBgov funding. It enables us to develop synthetic biology tools to advance cell & genetic medicines for patients in need. REPOST to deliver the message that SCIENCE saves lives & makes America great!
A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27: “It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young. At 26, I thought I had time… To fall in love. Start a family. Grow old. But cancer doesn’t care about plans.…

"One of the most important things as a scientist is that you have to be an optimist. If you’re a pessimist, a failed experiment will tell you that the whole idea is bad and you’ll quit. When you fail you have to continue." - chemistry laureate Richard Henderson's advice.

Just out in @J_A_C_S! We demonstrate resin-to-resin circularity in cycloolefin resins crosslinked with DCPD. Catalyst choice, co-monomers, post-processing of 3D printed and conventional parts dictate efficacy and bounds for regeneration. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
