Congratulations to all the new Berkeley NAE inductees, including our collaborator of ~20y and former @qb3-berkeley.bsky.social director Dave Schaffer! Well-deserved and long overdue!!

Terribly sad to learn of Dr. Michael Sheetz's passing. Mike was a foundational figure in mechanobiology and a strong advocate for the field. He also made us all better by holding himself and others to the highest intellectual standards. Condolences and best wishes to Mike's family and friends.

Amazing JB thread on JHU biophysics. Despite (because of?) its complexity, the PMB delivered a superb education... The 1st y core course in biophysical chemistry – led in the late 90s by Doug Barrick and Bertrand Garcia-Moreno – laid a rock solid foundation that continues to pay off decades later 🙏

Remember the 2008 call from @jeremymberg.bsky.social well! The DP2 was our first NIH award and key to launching our lab. Fascinating to hear the inside story, and grateful to all who created this remarkable program.

What a pleasure visiting the iconic @notredame.bsky.social to give the AME/BioE seminar! Exciting to hear about the push to build in Bioengineering & Life Sciences, including some brilliant recent faculty recruitments and new lab space. Many thanks to @dhpgroup.bsky.social and colleagues ☘️

New paper in Advanced Materials! We develop a family of 3D viscoelastic HA matrices and use them to study effects of stress relaxation on GBM invasion. Led by ChemE PhD student Emily Carvalho in collaboration with Andreas Stahl (UCB) and Manish Aghi (UCSF) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
