Say hello to soft human-machine interfaces! This soft robotic lens is controlled by the eyes--blink twice, the lens zooms in and out; look left, right, up or down, the lens follows. It could lead to visual prostheses and soft robots that can see. bit.ly/SoftRoboticLens

For every 10 gifts made-no matter the size-to the EnVision Arts and Engineering Maker Studio, the Powell Foundation will donate an additional $10,000 to the makerspace.
Students love having access to the tools at EnVision, and use the space for class & personal projects #ugive

YES! We love to see our alumni excelling. Josh earned his bioengineering degree from @UCSanDiego @ucsdbe, and is now working towards his master's in mechanical engineering at @sacstate while playing soccer for @SacRepublicFC. You go, Josh! We're rooting for you.

What if there was a way to extend the shelf life of donated blood? @NANO_UCSD PhD student & #ResearchExpo2019 winner Jia Zhuang is developing #nanoparticles to do just that. The goal is to help clinics keep up with the high demand for transfusions. bit.ly/ResearchExpo2019
Wow! @sdvg and @CONNECTinSD are merging. That's a big shake up
