New acknowledgment slide picture unlocked. I am having too much fun with this.
#NIHfunding cuts have resulted in stalled research. In response, ASH is expanding its Bridge Grant Program with $150K in awards to support critical research by members. Donate to support #hematology researchers and help ensure innovative research continues: https://bit.ly/41LFwjD #HemeSky #MedSky
Happy Persian New Year - #Nowruz. May it bring prosperity, happiness, freedom, & new opportunities. While we cherish the memories of those who are no longer with us, we step forward with optimism, embracing what the future holds.
Saw many friends and colleagues receive wonderful news on their Match Day. Congrats to all of you—wishing you the best of luck! (ChatGPT got too excited!) #CardioSky #MedSky
A sad day for Vascular Biology. As a student working on AAA, I learned a lot from the seminal works of Dr. Powell. Her controbutiom to IMPROVE randomised controlled trial was in particular interest for me. May she rest in peace. vascularnews.com/obituary-jan...
Obituary: Janet Powell - Vascular News
Janet Powell, the clinical trial investigator who played a pivotal role in several landmark abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) studies, has died at the age of 79. At the time of her death, Powell was pro...

Amazing times — Exciting science, great discussions, & even better company. It wasn’t just about cutting-edge research; it was about forming lasting friendships w/ people who share the same passion. Grateful to be part of such an inspiring community. Looking forward to the next one in Italy!
This cut affects a broad spectrum of the operations, including research, education, and patient care. This reduction is expected to significantly impact research initiatives, educational programs, and healthcare services. Does that fight antisemitism?! www.businessinsider.com/trump-columb...
Trump administration cancels $400 million in funding to Columbia University — and says more cuts are coming
The administration has alleged the school failed to combat campus anti-Semitism amid Israel-Gaza protests.

Throughout the years, I have been inspired by the incredible women around me and their invaluable contributions. Today, we celebrate their strength, resilience, and achievements. Happy International Women’s Day!
Honored to be selected as a finalist for the Kenneth M. Brinkhous Early Career Investigator Prize in Thrombosis by the @ahascience.bsky.social ATVB Council. Grateful to @americanheart.bsky.social for this recognition and excited to share my work! #Medsky #CardioSky
Gave a talk after 21 hours awake, 3 cities, 2 planes, and a long drive. Pretty sure I explained platelets as a jazz band improvising clot formation. Honestly, might be onto something. True Gordon Conference vibes.
PubMed and eRA commons are down now. This is unbelievable.
Today is the final day for Early Bird Registration for #VascularDiscovery25! Keynote: Dr. Stanley Hazen Distinguished Lecture: Dr. Henry Ginsberg Awesome research, top networking opportunities, & —for the first time, an off-site networking evening! @ahascience.bsky.social #Medsky #Cardiosky
NIH funding plays a critical role in making these meetings accessible. The NIH provides essential travel support, allowing early-career researchers and trainees to attend, present, and engage with experts in the field. #medsky #cardiosky
And the K99/R00 grant is officially submitted. Relieved. #CardioSky #MedSky
Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science Congratulations to the countless women whose bravery and breakthroughs have shaped the world of science! Your contributions inspire innovation and pave the way for future generations.
The statement from University of Kentucky about the recent NIH rules regarding indirect costs. “ we will do as we have always done. We will remain focused on our work. We will remain committed to telling our powerful and compelling story — a story about what we do to heal and help this state.”
