I'd like to offer a long-overdue thank you to @BrianTRice - whom I've never met - for providing such rich and interesting curation via retweets and catalyzing so much serendipity. Thanks for contributing wonderfully to the essential magic of this place!
Delighted to host @resiapretorius and @PutrinoLab at Yale today. @ValterVSM and I learned how to image #microclots and activated platelets. Activated platelet stained with anti-CD62P antibody are evident just looking through the eyepiece 👀 This is from a #longCOVID patient👇🏽😭
