Hi everyone! I'm offering a new course, Introduction to Mechanobiology, for upper-level undergraduates and new graduate students in engineering. I'm seeking a textbook and resources for teaching. If you've taught a similar course or have recommendations, I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

Even though there are great #devbio and #biophysics starter packs, I felt #morphogenesis & #organogenesis was missing as a subfield :D Far from complete or full. Tell me if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/PB6s8PQ
