Unfortunately, RFK Jr. does not seem to understand that the problem with our food system is the UBIQUITOUS EXISTENCE OF CHEAP, CALORIE-DENSE, HIGHLY PALATABLE FOOD. That's it. That's the whole problem. It has precisely nothing to do with food dye or high fructose corn syrup.

A few years ago @HoareLab asked me to start an exciting project as I transferred to my PhD. That project is finally complete! 1/3

In this paper, we made nanogels that size-switched and released chemotherapy "on-demand", i.e. after ultrasound. How much was released was based on its composition. We showed that size switching was essential for penetrating - and killing - in vitro tumour models. 2/3

When reviewer #3 = ChatGPT. This is a new first for me. Reviewer number 3’s comments were clearly written by ChatGPT. Is this to be expected now? Call to action to all journal editors and reviewers not to less this become the new norm.

I finally defended my PhD this week and my favourite part are the memes made by my friends who have no idea what a PhD defence is

An absolute pleasure to work with so many incredible authors on this one! We explored how two separate gel compositions affect each other spatially even when they are chemically orthogonal. Lots of *fun* physical characterizations here! @HoareLab @NahieliPreciado #hydrogels #IPN

oh the best part about this paper was that it was supposed to be "just 1 more experiment" that turned into "actually let's pivot and do 6 more" and honestly wow what a great choice

Been designing personalized biosensor tattoos. Tattoos that change colors based on blood glucose levels for pre-diabetics and diabetics. Looking for a technical founder in biochemical engineering to build this with me. Need to make this happen. Let's talk #biotech

To celebrate this time of peace and joy, we (1) stole gifts we liked better from each other white elephant-style and (2) tried to drive each other off a go-kart track. Peace and joy indeed. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Happy New Year to all!

End of an era in our lab - congratulations to Eva Mueller (who started as a second year undergrad student back in 2014) on an absolutely outstanding PhD defence! Can't wait to see what you do next. Thanks to @DrWillerth for serving as the external examiner!
