Several papers recently out in Advanced Functional Materials, Langmuir, Biofabrication, Lab on a Chip, and Tissue Engineering C from first authors Nik (undergrad research!), Sanya, Lisa, Arvind, and Sarah; with help from several lab members. Congratulations everyone on the outstanding team effort. In keeping with our unusual lab traditions, the sword of victory got to meet several cakes and the ice-cream sandwich of destiny.
