September sunshine and great company were the perfect recipe for our BME Graduate Student Welcome Picnic in Forest Park on September 6th!
The BME department was represented by both SLU chapters of BMES & SWE during the August edition of SciFest hosted by the St. Louis Science Center!
Dr.Koyal Garg recently joined the St. Louis Science Center’s new program,“Two Scientists Walk into a Bar." She discussed her scientific expertise over drinks with everyone who stopped by. Her article, “The Wonder of Biomaterials,” was featured in the latest edition of NewScience.
We're starting off October right with a visit from Tianyi Li, Ph.D., for our weekly BME seminar series! Dr. Li will discuss, "Enabling Safe, Smart, and Sustainable Transportation Cyber-Physical Systems with Artificial Intelligence." Additional info: loom.ly/VRnV0QY
