So proud of my mini dachshund, Bennie, for winning the annual UC Davis Doxie Derby AGAIN this year at picnic day! Back-to-back champion! 🏆 Now he’s napping on the couch! 😂

Yesterday I got to meet Nobel Prize winning chemist Carolyn Bertozzi at Chemical Biology in the Bay Area Day. She gave a great, inspiring keynote talk on bioorthogonal chemistry & the story of its conception. A successful 1st outing post ACL Surgery! Wish I asked for a picture!👩‍🔬

The NIH will no longer score researchers’ expertise and institutions during grant evaluations, from 2025. Last week, the agency announced that it's moving forward with a plan to overhaul its grant-review system for the first time in years. The agency says the changes will reduce

The Raman effect is the change in the wavelength of light that occurs when a light beam is deflected by molecules. It was named after Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman who was born #OnThisDay, 7 November 1888. The Raman effect is used to analyse different types of material.

Did you know that only 4% of scientists and engineers are Black and Latina women? Today, let’s celebrate those women who keep venturing into this field. Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 👩🏽‍🔬🔬🧪🧬

Alita D'Almeida (Alita) of our group just published her first manuscript on utilizing T2 mapping for tracking neuropathology and therapeutic rescue after organophosphate exposure. Congratulations, Alita! Lein Lab UCDRadiology UC Davis CMGI sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We launched Women+ in BME to create space discussing the issues women and historically excluded populations face in biomedical engineering. Read about the initiative led by Alba Alfonso García and supported by UC Davis Biomedical Engineering chair and Women+ ally Steven C George: engineering.ucdavis.edu/news/building-…

We are grateful to all Women+ trainees (Sophie Orr Hannah O'Toole Roshni Shetty), faculty (Aviran Lab Crystal Ripplinger), staff and their allies for contributing to this is important space for exchange and support.

Thanks to our leaders, including UC Davis Biomedical Engineering Graduate Group Chair Blaine Christiansen and Program Coordinator Christal Wintersmith, for active participation and engagement!

Thanks to all past and present members of the Health Equity and Wellness committee (read here: engineering.ucdavis.edu/news/growing-h…) for the hard work on this and many other initiatives!
