Enjoyed hosting Dr Yagmur Yegin today at Rice. She gave an interesting talk in my polymers course on polymers for food safety. She even shared some natural silk cacoons that can be extracted and used in food coatings which I might explore for bacterial encapsulation.

It was great to meet the one and only Dr Peter Hotez @hotez.bsky.social at a lunch sponsored by the Rice Baker Institute @stpolicy.bsky.social @bakerinstitute.bsky.social
