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!

Fun — and kinda gross? — new work from @ericamhartmann
Bathroom biodiversity 🚿🦠 @NorthwesternEng microbiologists found that showerheads and toothbrushes are teeming with an extremely diverse collection of viruses—that target bacteria, not people. 😌 spr.ly/6012U0DTe

Woot! @Rotta_Loria in @FT talking about Chicago's sinking skyline 🏙️
Many thanks to the @FT for featuring the work of my group at @NorthwesternU about subsurface urban heat islands. We leave in a time characterized by very complex challenges for civil infrastructure, but we can turn such challenges into opportunities. ft.com/content/5eaba8d7-949f…

Excellent piece by @Noeltbrennan for @CBSEveningNews about a collaboration between @NorthwesternEng and @BienenSchoolNU. @NorthwesternU
A new project at Northwestern University aims to manage the stress we put our vocal cords through, using a device to monitor how hard our voices are working in order to prevent vocal cord injuries.

"We need science journalists now more than ever, but with alarming frequency, legacy and digital-first publications alike are showing that they can't provide these journalists with stability. So who will?" @michaelgreshko buff.ly/3uVE1lT

Not just one but TWO @NorthwesternU medical devices made @mashable's year-end list of SIX med-tech innovations that they "loved this year." Both accompanied by excellent videos from @teodosiadob. @NorthwesternEng mashable.com/article/medical…
