wow how time flies!!
today’s the last in-person day for two amazing people in the lab: @snape_aritra Aritra Chatterjee (postdoc, future faculty) & Clarisse Zigan (MS, future research engineer @HSSBiomech, & the future PhD student YOU want!)
@Chan_MRI_Lab will miss you so much!!

this is a typical Thursday this summer… (work after 10pm not shown 😬)
so, I’m happy to take any suggestions on setting better boundaries on meetings & admin, while still maintaining 2+ multi-hour blocks for deep work elsewhere in the week & providing feedback to trainees…

catching up on some work & FOMOing from my hotel room at @SB3Corg #SB3C2023 because I'm seeing all the great work being presented @ISHAS_org & @ISMRM on my timeline!

next text just arrived!
course planning for BME 214 'Intro to Biomechanics Analysis' begins soon!!
after I get done with these paper revisions though... 😩 word count on response to reviewers is much greater than word count on manuscript...

As always @ORSsociety, #ORS2023 was a fantastic meeting willed with inspiring science & translational impact!
Great to finally bring some of my Purdue @Chan_MRI_Lab team & introduce @BlaberLab to this community!
Looking forward to #ORS2024 in Long Beach!!

Good morning #ORS2023 folks!! Come check out poster 2075 today and chat with @BlaberLab about @MeghanPendyala’s great work on murine synovial membrane and fat pad RNAseq with hindlimb unloading + exercise intervention!!

well, I certainly haven’t heard of this manuscript either…
Let me know GJES, if you find a fully completed manuscript by @Chan_MRI_Lab that I don’t know about!

some amazing work done by @PurdueBME seniors all year & it was great to see you all show it off this afternoon!!
& shout outs to all the seniors in @Chan_MRI_Lab - Moyo, Anisha, Maya, & Mei! (and Youssef, who’s been to enough of our lab things, even though he’s not in my lab 😂)

uhh ohhh they finally figured out what academics really want - protected writing time!!

tfw you have an international teleconference call immediately before a lunch with students in the media center of Ross-Ade…
hoping no one kicks me out of the press box during my call!

Great job, @MeghanPendyala!!
Gigantic THUMBS UP from @Chan_MRI_Lab and your brother!
Congratulations to Meghana Pendyala, co-advised by @BlaberLab and @DevaDChan, on her dissertation defense, “The Interplay between Mechanics and Joint Health: A Focus on Hyaluronan and Inflammation”!

Friday afternoon before I’m officially “back” to work from maternity leave… getting the office ready for this #academicmom life! #ifyouknowyouknow #yougotthis

so @Chan_MRI_Lab got me a happy looking plush that’s *supposed* to be for the 6-wk old…
but he’s still to young to hold things, so my hands are tied… I just kneed to keep this for myself!

it only took us two weeks, but we finally got a picture with the summer 2022 @Chan_MRI_Lab team!! happy summer y’all!
tie dyeing as a lab activity - highly recommend! even when we’re not allowed to do it with our lab coats!

these academic phishing schemes are getting a little out of hand…
they expect that an MD and Dean would want anything to do with me?
from an icloud email?

nothing like some DIY marker tracking to round off in-class learning activities for the semester!

it’s been a couple weeks but I finally discovered the best “off label” use for the @UFBME coaster that was gifted me at my recent visit!
quite appropriate for this engineer for life 😅

random emailer, can you take a guess why I may not be inclined to respond, even if this were remotely relevant?

I definitely read this as an open position for those studying the biology of mid- to later-career academics...

so… last weekday before spring break… seems about right for the 2020s…
and, why is spring break in the winter?

and vs my home sweet (no longer actually) home (for many of my childhood friends because of decades of dot-commers to tech bros), where the SFSU median faculty salary is just under $100k

and just for good measure … #1, 2, 3 graduate engineering programs are MIT, Stanford, Cal… Purdue is ranked #4 (tied with Caltech, CMU)
only Pittsburgh has equivalent COL

well, if we’re going to play this game… NIH 0-yr experience postdoc salary here (we’re hiring!) vs salary where my brother (an IP lawyer) works…
