Group A Streptococcus (GAS) sepsis vs hematopoietic progenitors: Who would win?
I’m GASsed up to tell you! Stop by my poster #3261 at #ASH21 to find out!

This week we were excited to film research with the team at @TheKingLab at @bcmhouston!

~14% of adults in the US were reported to smoke cigarettes in 2018. These researchers aim to better understand the impact of cigarette smoke in tissues & organs such as blood & bone marrow.

@JoVEJournal @bcmhouston Proud of Gilliam scholar @MoralesMantilla @HHMINEWS for spearheading this project!

Meanwhile, we continue to open and expose everyone...
This is what happens when $$$ is prioritized over people's lives.

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

Latest #COVID19 for Harris County, my observations if this trajectory persists: 1) Houston would become the worst affected city in the US, maybe rival what we're seeing now in Brazil 2) The masks = good 1st step but simply won't be enough 3) We would need to proceed to red alert

Retweet if we should temporarily replace all racist monuments with air dancers while we build new non-racist monuments!
