The Living Materials & Tissue Engineering community continues to grow on Bluesky. So great to see more colleagues over here AND to met new/rising stars in our community.

Lets keep growing & sharing our work.

And let me know others to add including self-nominations!

Can I be added? We are very new to this area, but are functionalizing hydrogels to control interactions with cells, and would love to learn and get perspectives from this community.

Thanks so much Monica!

Yes, why do we do this to ourselves? Maybe something Big10ALP could create momentum to fix?

Right? We had a running bet that at the end of the tour, she'd pull off a full-head mask, Mission Impossible style. Sadly no. Still hands down one of the best tours I've ever taken. :)

New rule: All conferences should include an activity led by the CIA Master of Disguise. Here she is (left), leading our Schmidt Science Fellow/Polymath tour of the Spy Museum, and explaining an exhibit. About her.

I'm not UHV, but am all about surfaces. Can I be part of the list?

I'm also a chemist who cooks! Can I be part of the list?

Thanks for putting this together @monicaohnsorg.bsky.social. Okay to add unconventional polymer people? My lab is all about precision polydiacetylenes, and would love to be part of the community.

Thanks for putting this together @nanobrumberg.bsky.social. Could you add me to the list?

Thanks for putting this together @ewapastorczak.bsky.social! Could you add me to the list?

No one knows everything about science. But what are the most useful pieces for a single person to understand, to solve big problems? When do we need polymaths vs teams of disciplinary experts?

In DC with THE/Schmidt Science Fellows/Polymaths to discuss the future of interdisciplinary science.

💯

Hopefully headed to DC for the @timeshighered.bsky.social Interdisciplinary Science Forum! However, just got upgraded, which historically means the flight is about to be seriously delayed or cancelled. Which will it be?
