Last week BenchPals was invited to attend the annual gala event held by the New York Academy of Sciences. We were featured in a video which you’ll see on the NYAS site!

Teach engineering activity on viscosity of milk! →
It’s been a long time coming (a few months?) but this activity on measuring the difference in viscosity of different types of milk was finally published on the Teach Engineering website today! It’s designed for middle school students and is a fun way to learn about chemical/physical properties of milk and how they change depending on the fat content. Mmm!

Lights, dinner, and protein nanowires
The other night I was at a dinner at a friend’s apartment, along with two of his other friends. At the table sat three artists and one engineer (myself), and when someone asked me what I do, I froze for a moment. How can I best explain protein engineering in a way that artists can relate to, understand, and hopefully appreciate? Knowing my audience, I glanced around the spacious Brooklyn loft in...
NYU Poly press - Keynote at the Intrepid →
The cat’s officially out of the bag: I was a cheerleader in college. It’s funny when you have an interview or give a talk because you never know what they’re going to quote you on or take away from your speech!
