‼️#ATS2025 Today is the day! Come chat about fibroblasts mechanobiology and fibrometabolism in pulmonary fibrosis. 🫁#cureIPF Section L, poster 1450 @atscommunity @ATS_RCMB

Incredibly honored to work with these inspiring women! Congrats Verónica on your award! Thank you @PatriciaSimeMD1 for your impactful mentorship! #ATS2025 @atscommunity

Kicking off my first day at #ATS2025 looking forward to catching up with the pulmonary fibrosis research community and hearing the latest data! 🫁#cureIPF @ATS_RCMB @atscommunity

Findings from this @NatureComms study unravel the roles of matrix viscoelasticity in #epigenetic regulation and cell reprogramming, with implications for designing smart materials for cell fate engineering. ⛏️ Dig in: https://t.co/Ke1IL0PPu4

The application for the 2025 Rising Stars in Engineering in Health Workshop is now open! The two-day interactive workshop will feature rapid-fire research talks, educational presentations, mock interviews & panel discussions with faculty. Apply by July 1. https://t.co/PHLrM7v2QK

Fantastic work developing a translational air liquid epithelial differentiation model led by the talented Yu Par Aung Myo! 🫁

We will always spotlight great research from brilliant authors! Just like this #ArticleinPress from @VCU, Protocol For Differentiating Primary Human Small Airway Epithelial #Cells at the Air-liquid Interface (Yu Par Aung Myo et al.): https://t.co/DYUX0gL1AK

My 3 favourite things about being a scientist: your full time job is to solve mysteries (how cool is that!), constantly being amazed by how beautiful & surprising the natural world is, getting to work with people who are smarter than you & have skills you only dream of having.

We have updated and expanded our database of fellowships for POSTDOCS in neuroscience/neurology/cog science. For each fellowship, we provide a description, $ amount, deadline, link, and eligibility criteria. Download our database freely here: https://t.co/EbTahdzJ9X

Don’t miss out on attending #GFRRM25 14 – 17 February 2025. Talk submission has been extended until 25 Nov, abstracts are being reviewed on a rolling basis so be quick! Find out more: https://t.co/h1TUOmIrbd

How do tissues maintain their integrity? Let's discuss epithelial fractures! High tissue tension can cause cells to break their contacts, leading to rupture!

VCU group joins Rally for Medical Research to promote federal funding. Health sciences researchers and faculty headed to Washington to urge congressional staff to prioritize NIH support. Read more ➡️ https://t.co/zLrDB5EGcE

1. There are 4 factor that determine how good a scientific contribution is: 1. The importance or novelty of the question asked. 2. The quality of the conceptual leap/idea in addressing this question 3. The quality of the data & controls 4. the quality & depth of the analysis.

🚨 Great alternatives to BioRender are now available!! 📢 @NIAIDNews offers a collection of public figures and icons for everyone to use. Check it out at https://t.co/cZFQAf5nTz

I would like to see more speaker introductions leading with what a speaker discovered during their training rather than who they trained with.
