Our first night on the town
The lab pressed pause on research to enjoy a night out at Taqueria Mexico.
Meet the Scientists
On Friday, Ben explored the physics of complex fluids (and made an enormous mess) with a bunch of eager young scientists at the "Meet the Scientists!" event at the Discovery Museums in Acton, MA. It was a blast!
Ben receives a Teaching Innovation Grant
Ben was awarded a Teaching Innovation Grant from Brandeis' Center for Teaching and Learning to help support his redevelopment of the Intro Physics Lab, which will focus on investigating the physics of living systems.
Our first graduate student!
We're happy to welcome Alex Hensley, a first-year PhD student in Physics, to the group. Welcome!
More members join!
We are thrilled to welcome four new undergraduates to the group: Angelina Gallego, Olivia Zou, Kyra Hamel, and Michael Perlow! Angelina hails from Hampton University in Virginia and joins us through the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program; Olivia, Kyra, and Michael are all members of Brandeis' Quantitative Biology Research Community (QBReC). Welcome!
