The Trump administration has launched a Blitzkrieg on science and academic freedom. As researchers, we must use our voices to advocate for science to protect patients, the economy, and truth itself. Read more in my op-ed in @TheScientistLLC. https://t.co/W0waPa3ChU

The survival of science and academic freedom in this country requires that we stand up and fight for the truth with all we have.

Excited to see our latest manuscript, entitled "Light-based fabrication and 4D customization of hydrogel biomaterials" is now LIVE at @natrevbioeng! Read for free here: https://t.co/eedyTNCwPL Congrats to Irina Kopyeva (@UWBioE) and @RP_Brady (@UWChemE)! This was a fun one!
Light can be applied to engineer materials approaching the 4D complexity of tissues. In their Review, @coledeforest et al discuss the light-based fabrication of hydrogels - the union of light-based manufacturing and photoresponsive chemistries @RP_Brady
