I’m so glad to announce that the computational model I developed during my PhD is now a stand-alone software and has recently passed the strict review process of my favorite journal, Journal of #OpenSource Software 🤩

Let me explain it a bit 👇
(2/9)
BioDeg is an #opensource cross-platform software written in #FreeFEM, C++, and Python for modeling the degradation of metallic #biomaterials and simulating the #biodegradation behavior of medical devices and #implants in #corrosion experiments.
(3/9)
The necessity and the details of the computational model of #biodegradable materials, which does the main simulation behind the scene, are already discussed in this Twitter thread, so make sure to have a look at it if you like to know more 🤓

So I saw a bit of disagreement last week over the idea of whether #biology is #programmable in any meaningful sense. As someone who works with biology in an industrial context, I wanted to unpack the idea just a little more. 🧵
For some, the claim that 'biology is programmable' is childishly obvious. Others say it's a bad metaphor or that if we don’t have total #predictability that it doesn’t count as programming. I tend to think both are right.
In #biomaterials, and the synthetic biology field in general, we are hacking systems we don’t understand. We are “programming" them (through environmental or genetic changes), but struggle in the predictability domain because we don’t fully grok this alien #technology (aka life).

Are you interested in reaction-diffusion systems? Also want to know more about coupling them with moving interface problems? Especially if it’s related to #HighPerformanceComputing and elaborated on it? Then, don't miss our recent publication😉👇

Reaction-diffusion systems coupled with moving interface problems (in which the boundary of the domain is part of the solution 🙂) have great importance in various real-world scenarios in chemistry and chemical engineering as well as environmental and life sciences.

As an example of such systems, we developed an #InSilico model of the #biomaterials degradation phenomena, in which the loss of material due to #corrosion (#biodegradation) leads to movement of the material-medium interface.

Announcing:
The 1st Baltic Symposium on Polymer and Biomaterials Science — Baltic Biomat “From Materials Design to Advanced Structures” — which will be held on 24-25 September 2020 in Szczecin, Poland.
balticbiomat.zut.edu.pl
#BalticBiomat #Polymers #MatSci #Biomaterials
1/n
Due to #COVIDー19 the safety and well-being of both the participants and our community is our top priority. At present, we are continuing as planned, but we are fully prepared to conduct the Symposium online—using a combo of synchronous & asynchronous meeting tools.
2/n
The Symposium will focus on the most recent achievements in #polymer and #biomaterial design, as well as materials engineering approaches aimed at the control of structure and performance.

PING @UQ_EAIT. This semester I've had the opportunity to tutor '#Biomaterials in Medicine' (CHEE4305) & today was the most fun I've ever had in a class at UQ!

The topic was @elonmusk's revolutionary tech startup #Neuralink, aiming to develop implantable brain devices.
A THREAD!
So what makes Neuralink so revolutionary?

Historic Biomaterial revolutions - pacemakers, hip implants, bionic limbs - have changed what humans are capable of doing. However, Neuralink has the potential to change who we are as a species!

How can a Biomaterial change the identity of the human species?? What exactly is Neuralink?

This video from @ColdFusion_TV is the most accurate & succinct summary of Neuralink that I've come across:
