Very honored to host the great @drsanjaygupta (Associate Chief of Neurosurgery at @HospitalGrady and Chief Medical Correspondent at @CNN) on his visit to our labs today to explore the latest research (through @NU_QSIB) and commercialization (through @epicorebio) activities around our soft, skin-interfaced microfluidic devices – ‘lab on the skin’ technologies – for collection, capture and colorimetric biomarker analysis of microliter volumes of sweat. Lab tours, engaging discussions, in-depth interviews and live demonstrations – all in the context of a feature piece on this emerging method for medical diagnostics that will appear in December on the CNN show Vital Signs. Stay tuned! Big thanks to @aTonyBanks, @MingyuZhouNU and Monica Li for laboratory and device preparations, to Dr. Lorenzo Gallon for representing our clinical collaborations, and to @amanda_mo, Ana Wedding and @Ciran0 for logistical support. Excellent teamwork -- flawless execution from start to finish!

While we wait for the results, contrast this…
- Trump’s Florida votes to increase minimum wage to $15.
- Meanwhile liberal California approves that Uber drivers are not employees, so ‘we’ can enjoy cheaper rides (who cares about the drivers).
Not sure where I stand any longer.
