How did I get this cold? Interview of Prof. Bourouiba in Episode 89 of Live Long and Master Aging Podcast, recorded at TEDMED2018, discussing our vulnerability to infectious diseases, flu shot effectiveness, and status of research aiming to curb the burden of infectious disease transmission. 

Our paper  “Biosurfactants Change the Thinning of Contaminated Bubbles at Bacteria-Laden Water Interfaces.” By Poulain and Bourouiba is published in the Physical Review Letters (PRL) and selected as PRL’s Editors’ Suggestion. Congratulations Stephane!

Bourouiba Group at the APS – Division of Fluid Dynamics 2018 meeting: • A13.00004 : Rim thickness evolution in unsteady sheet fragmentation • A13.00005 : Ligament dynamics along unsteady rims • D08.00003 : Bubbles at contaminated water interfaces

Prof. Bourouiba selected as 2018 TEDMED speaker, streamed live by the group! With discussions throughout the week.

Prof. Bourouiba gives the invited Environmental Fluid Mechanics lecture on Water-to-air transfer: Bubbles at the interface at Stanford University.

Prof. Bourouiba gives the invited Environmental Fluid Mechanics Lunch Lecture on Drop impacts: sheet and interactions

Prof. Bourouiba gives invited talk at the 76th New England Complex Fluids Workshop, on Unsteady Fragmentation.

Professor Lydia Bourouiba is a 2018 recipient of the Smith Family Foundation Odyssey Award for creative and innovative junior investigators working on high impact ideas to generate breakthroughs and drive new directions in biomedical research.

Congratulations Yongji!

Prof. Bourouiba organizes and will co-chair the session on Advances in Modeling the Fluid Dynamics of Pathogen Transmission and Dispersal  at the International Congress of Plant Pathology (ICPP) 2018: Plant Health in A Global Economy, Boston. August 3rd. Registration is open. Mark up your calendars!
