Excited to be inducted as Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering! Advocacy for the #medical and #biological #engineering #sciences is more important now than ever. Thank you #AIMBE! 🧬 🧪 🖥️ @aimbe-official.bsky.social www.bme.jhu.edu/news-events/...

I just discovered Quarto (genuine thanks to reviewer 2) and I LOVE IT so much. Anyone who is analyzing data and is not using it should be using it. I sent a general slack message to my lab to start using it immediately. #science #data #bioinformatics

What?!!!!! They are ending continuous submission? grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Incredibly excited to see this project out! Huge congratulations to the entire team. 🥳 Thank you so much to the donors and their families for enabling this work and thank you to the generous funding that supported the work too!
