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

@NorthwesternEng microbiologists found that showerheads and toothbrushes are teeming with an extremely diverse collection of viruses—that target bacteria, not people. 😌 spr.ly/6012U0DTe

This Craigslist ad for a 1999 Toyota Corolla is a masterclass in copywriting.
Yet again, @WGNNews' @MikeLoweReports proves he's the best storyteller in television. His pieces fill my jaded heart with awe and wonder. Check out one of his latest on an @NU_EARTHSCI project to analyze dirt from the #Moon 🌕✨🚀🪨

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…

"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
Such a fun feature on @ProfMaggie’s research on the mysterious “microbial dark matter” one mile beneath our feet. Read @sipappas’s piece in @sciam

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
