Had a wonderful time visiting @VCU_BME! Thanks for having me!
Had a great time hosting @AlbroLab today for @VCU_BME seminar and hearing about all the great work they are up to @BUCollegeofENG!!! Bonus... @BergholtLab was there in spirit!!

#DYK: 24% of adults suffer from #osteoarthritis, and the burden can be even heavier on younger patients. A team of @BU_Tweets researchers led by @BUCollegeofENG's @AlbroLab are developing a noninvasive light-based arthroscope to assess cartilage health. ➡️ spr.ly/6001PWbpB
