The fun of teaching a student PBMC isolation and their excitement at seeing their cells for the first time never gets old

Road trip to @TexasACSM Annual Meeting in the department van = digging up CD binders if we want on-road music!

[Melissa Markofski @MelMarkofski]

@PhysEdApps My phone can hold them but the van can’t play them that way!

[Melissa Markofski @MelMarkofski]

@yueliao @rmattbrothers The main use that van gets is trips to TACSM Annual Meetings. It should probably be a co-author on a few posters 😂

[Melissa Markofski @MelMarkofski]

This week was pretty good—I crossed something off my to do list that had been on there for 38 months! (Short version of the story is it was tabled during the pandemic, but I knew I would eventually have to return to it so it stayed on the list)

[Melissa Markofski @MelMarkofski]

In May ‘23, Andrew Bedwell will attempt a world record Atlantic crossing in a 3.5-ft boat. The exercise physiologist side of me loves thinking and talking about the physical challenges humans survive. (This was a fun topic to discuss and I look forward to tracking his progress)

[proto.life @protolifemedia]

A 6-foot man is going to cross the Atlantic in a 3.5-foot boat. It's a risky trip that will be punishing on the body. Andrew Bedwell is stoked.

@JenayRobert Cook the noodles separately. Add noodles to bowl and then add hot soup. Store leftovers separately so the noodles don’t get soggy.
