Over the course of my undergraduate academic career, I, as an Asian-American woman working and studying in a STEM field, had begun to notice a rather upsetting pattern. While there appeared to be plenty (‘plenty’ being a generous description; the overwhelming majority is still men) of Asian...
Excellent post by undergraduate researcher Cynthia Xu in the Montclare Lab.
From Steve Blank’s Blog:
NYU has adopted the Lean LaunchPad® class as a standard entrepreneurship course across twelve different schools/colleges within the University. Over 1,000 students a year are learning lean startup concepts.
Impact!

Awesome write-up by Steve Blank about the steps NYU is taking to increase the impact of entrepreneurship within the university. Also talks about the 5 Day Lean Launchpad course I TA-ed over the summer!

Kind of awesome that the work of my recent publication in Biomacromolecules was featured in Fierce Drug Delivery! The work was challenging and exciting, and I'm glad that it's getting some more widespread distribution. Happy reading!

A post on the Lux Capital blog on how to formulate thesis-based investment ideas. (Not to be confused with academic thesis ideas!)
The Bridge Builder
by Will Allen Dromgoole
An old man going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening cold and gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
Through which was flowing a sullen tide
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he...
Lovely piece by colleague and friend @andrewjayolsen about collaborative research at @nyuabudhabi
I am a huge believer that by only valuing a PhD student by how many papers we produce is something that will continue to hinder innovation in universities and also takes away from necessary career development for graduate students. Read on to see why I think we need to change the currency with which we operate in academia.
I am learning a ton as a summer associate at Lux Capital. I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from the movers & shakers at Lux and see awesome new technologies presented on a daily basis. Being in the VC environment is a really nice compliment to the work that I do on a small scale in the lab, and reminds me to continue to think big! Check out my guest post on the Lux Capital blog to see what I mean.
My first paper on my PhD work has just been published in Biomacromolecules. This work was a huge effort on the part of many people and I am so thankful that it's been accepted for publication! On to the next!

Gut instincts: The secrets of your second brain
When it comes to your moods, decisions and behaviour, the brain in your head is not the only one doing the thinking
IT’S been a tough morning. You were late for work, missed a crucial meeting and now your boss is mad at you. Come lunchtime you walk straight past the salad bar and head for the stodge. You can’t help yourself - at times of stress the brain encourages us to seek out comfort foods. That much is well known. What you probably don’t know, though, is that the real culprit may not be the brain in your skull but your other brain.
Yes, that’s right, your other brain. Your body contains a separate nervous system that is so complex it has been dubbed the second brain. It comprises an estimated 500 million neurons - about five times as many as in the brain of a rat - and is around 9 metres long, stretching from your oesophagus to your anus. It is this brain that could be responsible for your craving under stress for crisps, chocolate and cookies.
Embedded in the wall of the gut, the enteric nervous system (ENS) has long been known to control digestion. Now it seems it also plays an important role in our physical and mental well-being. It can work both independently of and in conjunction with the brain in your head and, although you are not conscious of your gut “thinking”, the ENS helps you sense environmental threats, and then influences your response. “A lot of the information that the gut sends to the brain affects well-being, and doesn’t even come to consciousness,” says Michael Gershon at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, New York.

A wonderful and personal post from Rudy Jacquet, who has been integral to the progress on my PhD project! Nicely said, Rudy.
Me and Jen in the lab discussing some samples in a 96-well plate! Yay science!
Jasmin Hume, a fourth year PhD student in Materials Science, and Jennifer Sun, a senior in the Biomolecular Science Program, two students in the Montclare Lab, were recently recipients of the Army Research Office Undergraduate School Apprenticeship Program (ARO-URAP) and the Graduate Mentoring Fellowship.
An article was written about me and my student, Jennifer Sun, for the NYU Poly website (by another student that I TA, Priya Chacko). The undergraduate mentorship award that was given to Jen and me by the Army Research Office is discussed, and I think NYU Poly was particularly interested in highlighting the two of us since "girls in STEM" is such a hot topic these days.
