I’m BUZZED about this dance! 🐝🐝🐝 So excited to share this sultry summer piece with you guys 🌞💛 #Repost @meherdance (@get_repost) ・・・ This Summer 🔆 It’s ALL about the BUZZ 🐝🖤 . . . Part 1 “BUZZ” Dance .🎵 @badboyshah @aasthagill 📹@spokenframemedia . Full 🎞 on @bollyshake & @youtube

HAPPY PRIDE CHICAGO! ✊❤️✊🏻🧡✊🏼💛✊🏽💚✊🏾💙✊🏿💜 Today, I’m thinking especially of two groups of LGBTQ+ people: those who risk their safety everyday to affirm their identity (especially trans women of color), and those (especially in the desi diaspora) who struggle to express their truest selves due to social pressures. May we all work together to educate that biological sex falls on a spectrum, gender identity falls on a spectrum, sexuality falls on a spectrum. #Repost @meherdance (@get_repost) ・・・ Embrace the Rainbow 🌈 Embrace the Love 💕Happy Pride Today & Always 💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💗 . . #pride #loveislove #dance #joy #grace #dancelife #rainbow @art.of.chi 📷 @chicityhero

As @thedemocrats begin debate season, it’s vital that we don’t let the CLIMATE CRISIS be reduced to a single issue or a promise to “invest in solar”. The @sunrisemvmt knows that climate change is an intersectional issue that affects ALL OF US. Last night, I hosted a DNC debate watch party to see how candidates were treating climate change, and only @jayinslee vowed to make it his first priority. We need to get all of DNC on board and #ChangeTheDebate. We can no longer use unsustainable industries and practices to build our economy, keep life safe, or ensure our futures. What are you doing to demand more from our politicians?

Sending lots of love to @komaljoshiii as she starts her next adventure! Komal, you are one of the most graceful dancers I’ve had the honor of performing with, and I’ve learnt a lot from watching you work in your element. I’ve had such a fun time over the past year doing choreo to Gun Gun Guna, attending dance workshops, and hanging out at those post video shoot dinners. I’m really going to miss my bnat buddy ❤️ Safe travels and hope to see you again soon!

Full heart, full stomach. Low quality pic, high quality people 🥰 This beautiful @meherdance family came into my life when I really needed a group of people that I could vibe with creatively. Thank you @gopiengineer for being our fearless leader and recruiting a team that’s bomb-dot-com every time we‘re together. ❤️

When your research group takes home half the departmental paper plate awards 😁

My very first, first-author publication! Sure it’s not technical science, but it’s got a DOI! 😁 In November, I had the privilege of attending the memorial and symposium of Julia 👩🏼‍🏫and Hans 👨🏼‍🏫 Weertman, who were incredible scientists and professors at @northwesternu. My colleague @rileyhanus and I wrote a reflection of the symposium talks, which were delivered by the Weertmans’ scientific family. @materials_mrs published this in their March MRS Bulletin 😍 The Weertmans were an inspiring couple and you should totally read this article, link in bio 🙌🏽

Elbows up, shoulders back, knees to the side, and SIT! 💚🧡💙❤️💖💜 @meherdance 📸: @chicityhero

⬆️The only poster I designed for the MSE department poster competition 😂 In February, I helped organize a departmental student-run poster competition, and it was awesome to see so much excitement and involvement from the MSE grad student community (the fact that we had bomb Chinese food to celebrate the Lunar New Year didn’t hurt 😄). From creating competition rubrics to recruiting participants and judges, the entire experience felt like a throwback to running a dance competition. 😅 PC: @gavinzhu0624

🌞Happy Monday IG fam!🌞 I want to express gratitude to the friends, family, and strangers who are following this account. 🙏🏽 It’s been really encouraging to hear from people that they enjoy seeing what I’ve been up to. This week, I’ll be catching up on a bunch of things that I didn’t post from 2019, while trying to remember that not every post needs to be 3 paragraphs long 😅

Happy World Dance Day from my dance fam to yours! I don’t think anyone can feel their fingers in this photo 😅 @meherdance #worlddanceday 📷: @chicityhero

🧪Slime, the ultimate retro science! 🧪 I put together a slime making event for @nugradswe which was a blast! I used to associate slime with neon green, goopy sludge that only tween boys could appreciate, so it’s been very cool to see the renaissance of slime being led by female slime scientists who make the most colorful, glittery slimes imaginable. I got all the basic supplies at Target, plus some awesome additives like beads/foams balls/glitter off of amazon. I think my slime-making still needs practice, but I’m happy to keep creating more 😁
