Chapter 3 of my thesis is now published in @SocietyExpMech! Quantifying how the mechanical properties of tissues change over time & with disease progression is instrumental for understanding health. We observed variations in stiffness & fracture in gelatin & liver using VCCE.
Seeing another piece of my PhD in print is a nice reminder of how much work I put in over the last few years. As always, I couldn't have done it alone and this paper was a group effort with so many wonderful lab mates in the @CohenMechGroup
I'm pleased to share that the second paper of my PhD has been published in Soft Matter is now available online at lnkd.in/e_CcEbbB
If you'd like to see me present this, and the rest of my work from the @CohenMechGroup, I will be defending my thesis *this Wednesday*.
Thatās 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!
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 š
. 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 letās do it, yo.
Indiana, coming your way in April.
Are you part of a company or university in need of a keynote speaker about diversity, inclusion, empowerment & inspiration? Well, head on over to kathrynbertine.com and drop me a line.

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 thatās a wrap. @SocEngScience 2023 finished up today. We thoroughly enjoyed connecting with so many colleagues and friends this week. See everyone again soon!
Last day of @SocEngScience 2023 musings includeā¦
-Engineering science is hard and I am so impressed with all of us plugging away at various stages of this journey
-Growing an academic community is hard but finally feel like I have āconference friendsā s/o Estrada & Franck labs
-Why is the conference background lighting color of choice purple?
-When presenting images of stained cells, can we all agree to invert our colors? Red on black is not a functional color scheme on a projector. Wearing my @MITCommLab fellow hat here and I am dying.
Taking the photo means you donāt have to be in itš
Field trip time! @SocEngScience here we come. @CarlosMPortela, we are adopting your group if you miss the flight. Donāt worry, we will take good care of them š
Itās no Vail, but the views at the Society of Experimental Mechanics (SEM) 2023 annual conference arenāt 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/1h5b5ā¦
Clots are vital for human health but also a leading cause of morbidity world wide. Problem is, itās 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/1h5b5ā¦
