A big thank you to all of our exhibitors at the 12th congress who have joined hands in helping to progress the field of biomaterials! With over 100+ exhibitors, there are a variety of solutions to help accelerate research to the next level 🧬🔬 #WBC2024 #biomaterials #innovation

Such thought-provoking poster sessions detailing the unique value of our work in biomaterials. We are enjoying not only the scientific discussions, but also the large amount of networking! Could we see potential collaborations in the future? Check in tomorrow for more 😎 #WBC2024

Such a wonderful panel hosted by Acta Biomaterialia on 'Global Perspectives in Launching an Independent Career' at #WBC2024 in Daegu, South Korea! Thanks to Prof Sarah Heilshorn for the invitation and for moderating the panel discussion!

After my plenary lecture at the 12th World Biomaterials Congress #WBC2024 many asked for the Web site of the new Polymer Design compilation that Dr. Nate Richbourg and Nicholas A. Peppas have put together. Here it is: hydrogeldesign.org

Good response from our friends. 4,200 partipants, a record. And I have not finished yet. My talk in our Symposium in honor of Ed Merrill, one in the SungWan Kim Symposium, a talk and tribute in Natalie Artzi Acta Biomaterialia Silver Award, & our Advisory Board Regenerative Biomaterials.

I met a great young scientist yesterday, Ana Salazar Puerta Ana Salazar-Puerta of Ohio State University. A magnificent scientist from Medallin, Colombia. Great ideas, amazing early papers & results. LatinX in ChE and Fabiola Chapa and Isabela Ramirez, get her in your groups
