Huge shoutout to the jury, @Gaspar_Vm & @TizianoSerraB, for their time, insightful feedback, and engaging discussion during the master’s defense! Special thanks to @joaofmano for trusting me with full supervision—it's been an incredible journey of growth and mentorship.

Moments like these truly highlight the best part of academia: mentoring, learning, and celebrating accomplishments together. Here’s to many more milestones ahead! #Mentorship #Academia #LearningJourney #CelebratingSuccess

I am beyond proud of Maria Luiz for her stellar thesis defense, her outstanding presentation, and the engaging discussion she led. It’s been a privilege to guide such a talented student through this journey. #MasterThesis #ThesisDefense #AcademicPride #StudentSuccess

🎓 A Full Circle Moment! It feels surreal to reflect on how, just a year ago, I was on the other side of this process, defending my own PhD. Now, in my first year as a supervisor, I am incredibly proud to share that my first master's student has successfully defended her thesis!

Or Human Tendon‐on‐Chip work is out today @AdvSciNews. Check how we applied this platform to study tendon core‐T cell spatiotemporal crosstalk. Great multi-institutional team effort led by @Mahwish_Syed90 with @ManuelaEGomes. @3bsuminho @mgflorit

I’d like to acknowledge the vital support of @ManuelaEGomes and @RMADomingues, whose help was integral to this work. Special thanks to @mgflorit for the crucial tendon samples, and to co-authors Alberto Pardo, David Caballero, Subhas C. Kundu, & @RLGReis for their contributions.

My final PhD work is now published @AdvSciNews! This journey was full of challenges, pushing me to my limits, and beyond at times, but it also reignited my passion for science. Reminding me that no setback could ever take that away. 🔬#PhDLife @3bsuminho https://t.co/8VLAZDKOqd

Check out the remarkable achievement of @COMPASS_RG, using functionalized cells to create living materials published in @NatureMaterials! A proud and inspiring moment for the entire team. Huge congrats to @PedroLavrador1, @jose_pinto00, Beatriz Moura, @Gaspar_Vm, and @joaofmano!
