Our 💻x🧫 collaboration @saravasconcelos.bsky.social @uhnresearch.ca with ATOMS lab @utoronto.ca is out on @pnasnexus.org. We showed the correlation ⛓️ between the local variability of interstitial flow🚰 and the dimensional variability of microvessel 🪢 across different size scale in vitro. Enjoy 📖!

In the quest to engineer large tissues for transplants, preserving flow conditions during vasculature scale-up can be tricky. A computational–experimental framework can help predict interstitial flow, allowing effective pre-vascularization. In PNAS Nexus: https://ow.ly/sja050ZzWfq

Look who the cat dragged in to give an outstanding presentation of heart regeneration!!! @rmarinjuez.bsky.social

Ali is a natural! So comfortable in front of an audience and driving his PhD project to success. Great job!

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

WNBA Players Had an Ace Up Their Sleeve in Pay Negotiations: A Nobel Laureate

Harvard economist Claudia Goldin helped WNBA players win a nearly 400% raise. Starting this season, players’ average salary will top $580,000.

Thank you to everyone who came to our pop-up celebrations as @newsweek.com's new no. 2 hospital in the world! It's amazing to see TeamUHN wearing their passion and pride on their sleeves! More details to come for TeamUHN staff, learners and volunteers who were unable to attend in-person!

Day 3 of #EMBLCardioBiology 2026 in Heidelberg with more outstanding talks such as the one on #endothelium in #adipose by Joanna Kalucka, a great poster session and a tour of the city to wrap it up!

Great to see beautiful work by fellow Canadian labs! @rmarinjuez.bsky.social

Day 2 at #EMBLCardioBiology 2026 in Heidelberg kicked off with an inspiring session on #cardiovascular #regeneration spanning the full spectrum from fundamental basic science to clinical trials. Outstanding talks by @kasinans.bsky.social Florian Weinberger Wolfram Zimmermann@eldadtzahor.bsky.social

A fantastic kickoff of #EMBLCardioBiology 2026. Great speakers and a keynote by Alessandra Moretti Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow when I’ll be chairing a session on cardiovascular regeneration. @embl.org @uhnresearch.ca

Dear reviewer, I AM the expert! This is the most unhelpful comment from my #cihr grant. I guess all my training in vascular biology since undergrad (+MSc, PhD, 2.5yrs postdoc, 13 years running a lab in vascular research) and several publications on the topic not relevant?!?! Bring back f2f reviews!

Job alert! 📣 I’m looking for a research assistant to join my new team @idrm.ox.ac.uk Were using #zebrafish to understand gene-environment interactions that shape the heart 🫀generate natural diversity 🐸🐭 and contribute to congenital defects ❤️‍🩹 Full info below, and please share! 🫶🏻 bit.ly/467TO0M

Best email of the day! Reached out to a person in the US who I haven’t met for a reference letter for an applicant and got this:

Is Anne Frank’s house worth it? Or too depressing? I’m torn between ‘of course’ and ‘wanna keep it light’. That said if they do a good job with the tour I’m more inclined to do it. Otherwise if it’s meh, no thanks. #annefrank #amsterdam #traveltips #travel
