The reminder I needed today
No proposal or manuscript is ever perfect, but to be effective, it does eventually need to be finished. Nothing we submit will ever be as good as it *could* be and just recognizing that can be an important step forward. Perfection is not the goal. Finished is the goal.
That’s a wrap! @SocietyExpMech presentation complete. A great conference with excellent conversations, as always!
The @SocietyExpMech 2024 Annual Conference is almost here! I'm especially excited about the new Empower Hour networking event that I helped to organize happening on Wednesday evening. Women in the SEM community, check your email for details and see you there!
Happy #GreatAmericanEclipse day from the Cohen Mechanics Group!
Every time I get a flier in the mail I check to see if I know anyone on it. Today I did. It was me 😅. Consider this your registration reminder for @SocietyExpMech annual 2024! Looking forward to June
Huge thanks to @MIT, @mitcyclingteam & @B2C2Cycling for bringing me to Boston/Cambridge to tell the story of STAND & creating change in this big, weird world. Moral: If I can, you can. So let’s do it, yo. Indiana, coming your way in April. Are you part of a company or…
Successful end to @SocEngScience #SES2023 with this growing Solid mechanics family @MITMechE. Great presentations all around and fun interactions with colleagues in our mechanics community!
And that’s a wrap. @SocEngScience 2023 finished up today. We thoroughly enjoyed connecting with so many colleagues and friends this week. See everyone again soon!
Taking the photo means you don’t have to be in it😁
Field trip time! @SocEngScience here we come. @CarlosMPortela, we are adopting your group if you miss the flight. Don’t worry, we will take good care of them 😉
It’s no Vail, but the views at the Society of Experimental Mechanics (SEM) 2023 annual conference aren’t bad either! Presenting today on exploring elasticity and fracture in whole blood clots using VCCE.
Our most recent paper on the elasticity of whole blood clots is out today in @mechbiomat. Stored blood produced softer clots while stiffness was consistent across a range of moderate strain rates. Read more here authors.elsevier.com/c/1h5b56EHNeor…
Clots are vital for human health but also a leading cause of morbidity world wide. Problem is, it’s very challenging to measure how soft or hard clots are and treat accordingly. In this paper we investigate the stiffness of whole blood clots using VCCE authors.elsevier.com/c/1h5b56EHNeor…
