Fantastic work from the @AppelGroup including Schmidt Science Fellow @AndreadAquino7 Incredible innovation on such a critical issue
Researchers at Stanford Engineering have developed a sprayable gel that creates a shield to protect buildings from wildfire damage. It lasts longer and is more effective than existing commercial options. @appelgroup engineering.stanford.edu/mag…
Thank you @timeshighered and @SchmidtFellows for the feature! Excited to share a glimpse into the interdisciplinary work my lab at @bme_uoft is pursuing!
Our 2022 Fellow @CMaikawa pivoted from biomedical engineering to materials science. Now her lab at the @UofT is combining the two disciplines to pioneer innovative ways to help us monitor our health. Discover her journey in @timeshighered Campus+ timeshighereducation.com/cam…

Must-read article by #RhodesScholar Samuel Greene and @SchmidtFellows on increasing the representation of people with disabilities in #STEM - bit.ly/AccessibleInterviews
We’re so excited to have Richard join our team for the summer! He’s been working on developing stimuli-responsive materials for monitoring inflammation in the gut and is interested in seeing how gut inflammation intersects with heart failure.
👋 Say hello to Richard, a #student in our Undergraduate Summer Research Program!
Working under the supervision of Dr. Caitlin Maikawa & Dr. Alana Ogata, his #research aims to address the intersectionality of chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease & #heartfailure.
Excited to have the @SchmidtFellows community come visit @UofT! Can’t wait to see everyone and to be able to show you around!
This work out in @iScience_CP led by Dr. Samuel Greene outlines strategies for more accessible and inclusive interview practices in academia!
"Accessible interview practices for disabled scientists and engineers."

Excited to be a part of the Biomacromolecules Early Career Board!
We were delighted to welcome 24 early career researchers to our inaugural Early Career Board last month.
Please take a moment to read about their research: go.acs.org/7Tk
It’s been an amazing week at the Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering GRS & GRC in New Hampshire! A huge thank you to @enekoaxpe for being a fantastic co-chair of the GRS and to Sarah Heilshorn @heilshornlab, @antcyu, and @natbme Valeria Caprettini for joining us at the GRS!
@seguralab and Andy Putnam thank you for organizing an amazing Biomaterials GRC! It was my first time attending and was such a great experience!

Thanks @GordonConf, for this fantastic opportunity!
🙏 Thanks to @natBME Valeria Caprettini, Sarah Heilshorn @heilshornlab, @antcyu and all the trainees for their inspiring science
💫 Co-chairing this conference with the amazing @CMaikawa has been an absolute pleasure
Congrats Eric!!!! Super excited for you and the rest of the lab and I am grateful to have been a part of the amazing community you’ve built in the @AppelGroup. I hope you are celebrating tonight!!!
I'm happy to announce that I've been awarded tenure @stanford @StanfordMSE! I'm so very thankful to all of the @AppelGroup members past and present for helping to build a vibrant, creative, collaborative, and fun community within the lab. What a day! (1/2)
Congrats Eric and the whole @AppelGroup team!!
I’m deeply honored to be awarded the @SFBiomaterials Young Investigator Award this year. This award is a testament to the tremendous work and impact of current and former @AppelGroup students and postdocs!

The lab's first work is now public as a preprint. We have made a polymeric tissue-residing TLR-7/8 agonist yielding a curative response for 4/6 mice when injected into the tumor in a CT26 mouse colon carcinoma model... as a monotherapy! Story below. 1/7 bit.ly/3JN8NBo

Maysa Mustafa, director of @SchmidtFellows global meetings, is an engine for our science. w/o her empathy, excellent facilitation & planning skills, & care for us as people, our GMs wouldn't be such fruitful & welcoming spaces for scientific collaboration & community.#WomenInSTEM

I am so excited to share that I’ll be joining @bme_uoft at the University of Toronto as an Assistant Professor in July 2023! My group will focus on developing dynamic polymer materials for drug delivery and biosensing. Check us out at maikawalab.com - We’re recruiting!
As well as everyone who helped and supported me through this process! Special shoutouts to @SantiCorreaPhD @helen_chem @AustinMEvans @GillieAgmon - I am so grateful for all of you!
