Excited to join @UFBME later this year! It’s a full circle moment for @pashucklab and me to return as @UFWertheim faculty after 20+ years 😮 It’s great to be a Florida Gator 🐊 @UF
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Lesley W. Chow, a UF alumna, to the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering as an associate professor. bme.ufl.edu/2026/01/15/uf-bi…

"Public investment in science is among the most productive uses of taxpayer dollars. The latest macroeconomic research finds that every dollar spent on non-defense public R&D generates between $1.40 and $2.10 in economic output." forbes.com/sites/johndrake/2…

I am so deeply sad to share that our beloved dog Rosa passed away last night. It was unexpected and quick, which is the only thing bringing us peace. She was the best girl. We were so, so lucky to know her and love her. @pashucklab

Excited to share our new review paper on organoid bioprinting in @natrevbioeng! 🎉 We highlight recent advances and envision a future that integrates organoid biology and biofabrication approaches to engineer complex tissues. Hope you enjoy! 😊 🔓: rdcu.be/d3H6u
Organoid bioprinting is used to create complex 3D models of human tissues. In this Review, Heilshorn et al. discuss additive manufacturing approaches to advance disease modeling, drug testing, and the production of bioprinted-tissues for clinical use. go.nature.com/3VGB6YN
