One day left to apply for the ORS Meniscus Section Impact Award!

We had our inaugural cookie sweep and annual white elephant gift exchange last Friday. The group also gave me a lovely card for my birthday! After a week of multiple graduate student fellowship submissions, we all really relished the time of celebration and yummy sweets!

1 week to go for Orthopaedic Research Society !!🙌🏻 Don’t forget to RSVP, for the Meniscus Social Hour at Solita restaurant on Saturday, Feb 3 from 6-7 PM. If you’re a member and haven’t received the link, please contact/comment below! Can’t wait to see you’ll next week 😀

Attention PNW and West Coast biomaterials enthusiasts! Consider the SFBiomaterials regional meeting in Seattle this coming September 19-20th. Abstract submission is open with a deadline of Feb 29th. Awesome opportunity for trainees and community building in this WBC year.

Last chance to submit a late-breaking abstract to #TERMIS2024 World Congress. Share your research with people from around the world! Abstracts will be considered for rapid fire presentations and posters. Submit at wc2024.termis.org/late-breaking-… by March 15

Ten faculty talks in 25 minutes. More proof that anything is possible! With Ron Kwon Jenny Robinson Wills Lab Dr. Chuck Murry and an all star line up of ISCRM at UW scientists!

Thank you Korea and #wbc2024! Thanks for the invitations from Prof. Brian Aguado Elizabeth Cosgriff-Hernandez Dr Brendan Harley is at @profharley.bsky.social to highlight how biomaterials are crucial for advancing women’s health. Wonderful to see colleagues/friends and labmates that become life long companions. Here’s to 2028 in DC!

So excited about the fantastic programming we have planned for #TERMIS2024. This global meeting has presenters and attendees from around the globe and is a collaborative effort of our Americas, Europe, and Asian-Pacific Chapters. wc2024.termis.org Some highlights (1/8)

Congrats to undergraduate student Adi Pucha, for his recent manuscript in Tissue Engineering, in collaboration with Sebastián L. Vega Jenny Robinson! Link below👇

What an inspiring event! Thank you Dr. Michelle Oyen Kristin Myers, and erVa for bringing together experts across engineering, sciences, policy, and other disciplines to really challenge where we can go for women’s health in the near future.

Kicking off @termis WC with a bang! Very much looking forward to this session. Thanks for hosting and moderating Mykel D. Green, PhD.

We have traveled so far for @TERMIS World Congress in Seattle. 😉 Check out the lineup of presentations from our group all focused on meniscus regeneration and spanning into sex differences starting off at 10am this morning! Robinson TARE Lab

Very excited to #ElevateHER and be a part of change in engineering for women’s health!

If all of my academia life was like #ElevateHER then I would be a happy camper all the time! So encouraging to hear of the excitement and expertise toward engineering for women’s health - which is human health. Kuddos to ⁦Shreya Raghavan⁩ ⁦Erika Moore⁩ ⁦TAMU BMEN

The #elevateHER mtg focused on discussion, strategy/action items and networking but had 2 research talks and they were so thoughtful 🤔 and engaging and show how far we’ve gone and how far we still have to go. ❤️ to Michal Tal, PhD Jenny Robinson for showing us how it’s done 👏 💪

One of the best decisions I made early in my career was volunteering for the ORS through the meniscus section ORS Meniscus. As the incoming section chair, I would love to see new faces of those interested in #savethemeniscus Applications are due Aug 19th - DM with questions.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 25th at 12 CST for this ORS Meniscus VSS and learn from Chang Lee Megan Killian Devina Purmessur (Walter) about how other fibrocartilages can inform knowledge on meniscus development, homeostasis, and regeneration. Register below!

Join us in Seattle for the NW SFB Regional Symposium!
