We enjoyed hosting the Vanderbilt CBO team last week. On average, about 60% of patients with cancer will receive surgery at some time in their treatment. For many it may be their only option and in some cases surgery is curative. We design many technologies in VISE to perform surgery more accurately, more safely, and with the less disruption to the patient's life. It is just one thing we do. Thanks for spending time with our VISE community.

VISE on the Road! Graduate student, Jesse d'Almeida was the keynote speaker at the TransferA Congress for biomedical engineering students at Universidad Anáhuac Mayab in Mérida, Mexico. Jesse shared with them his exciting work in the MED Lab on surgical robotics and what research looks like across various levels. Jesse is known for his incredible speaking skills, so we knew his insights would be top-notch! What an amazing opportunity to inspire the next generation of biomedical engineers with his passion for robotics.

?? What an unforgettable experience! VISE was honored to host an exclusive early screening of 'Rule Breakers', an Angel Studios film. The movie tells the inspiring true story of the Afghan Dreamers, an all-female robotics team who defied incredible odds to compete on the global stage. These remarkable young women represent resilience, determination, and the power of breaking barriers. Opening remarks were made by Michael Miga, VISE Director and Harvie Branscomb Professor, Camilla Benbow, Patricia and Rodes Hart Dean of Education and Human Development and the producer of the film, Laura Bilodeau Overdeck, Founder of Bedtime Math and an educational philanthropist. Following the Rule Breakers screening, Dr. Miga moderated an inspiring panel featuring: Amber Afzali, who played Esin in the film Piper Cannon, a Vanderbilt graduate student in mechanical engineering studying surgical robotics, a member of Women of VISE, and coach of the all-girls FTC robotics team at St. Cecilia Academy in Nashville Bill Guttentag, the Oscar-winning director of "Rule Breakers" Laura Overdeck, an educational philanthropist and founder of Bedtime Math #RuleBreakers #WomenInSTEM #Innovation #Resilience #VISE Vanderbilt University School of Engineering
