Proud mom moment! One year after acl and mcl knee reconstruction my 16 year old Doug kicks the game winning field goal in OT against county rival! @dougekn @guyeakin

[Guy Eakin @guyeakin]

@DacksPenny that is so insanely cool, penny!

Spending the day with the critical conversation about delivering culturally competent care. What does that look like in scientific research programs? In psoriatic disease? Thank you @CBCFInc for hosting this powerfully candid conversation.

[Guy Eakin @guyeakin]

@BellasFATLab Absolutely fantastic!

[Guy Eakin @guyeakin]

For anyone who was so far unconvinced of her amazingness - can I point you in the direction of @mneakin ‘s newest book on the science of tobacco dependence?

[Lipedema Foundation @LipedemaFndn]

Hey #Lipedema research junkies – we are trying something new – posts about all newly published research! Since Twitter doesn't always smile on automated posts, we're testing this at a separate account, @LipedemaBot. Give it, and us, a follow and let us know how it's working!

@and_read nature nerd here- they ferment their forage. the bacteria convert the plant material to usable nutrition. when you see a hay wrapped in plastic in the field, it’s helping “pre-ferment” the hay to aid the process. tl;dr horses basically live on homemade tofu.

New research! #Lipedema pain is often characterized as hypersensitivity to otherwise normal stimuli. This LF-funded study found that Lipedema-related pain is not simply a response to tissue growth or swelling. Learn more: https://t.co/iD2x5mqQhL

@BellasFATLab @LipedemaFndn @MunsonOEL @Farsh_G @KelseyHCollins @JennHammel11 i accept your gif on behalf of the many klutzes who came before me.

i’m thinking we need to start each meeting with “the shattering of the glass” though.

[Guy Eakin @guyeakin]

@BellasFATLab @LipedemaFndn @MunsonOEL @Farsh_G @KelseyHCollins @JennHammel11 you went there didnt you?

[Guy Eakin @guyeakin]

@BellasFATLab @LipedemaFndn @MunsonOEL @Farsh_G @KelseyHCollins @JennHammel11 i see your nerd glasses! pamela and atefeh were thinking similarly. i dont think i could take on organizing, but could certainly contribute. ill send an email to the three of you and lets see if we can get something reasonable launched🧐

[Guy Eakin @guyeakin]

@BellasFATLab @LipedemaFndn @MunsonOEL @Farsh_G @KelseyHCollins @JennHammel11 theres a little chatter about keeping the conversation going and starting a periodic journal club (by zoom). do you thing your group would be game for something like that maybe every 6wks or so?

[Guy Eakin @guyeakin]

apparently excellence in lipedema has a lewk. ⁦@KelseyHCollins⁩ karen herbst and panela nono nankam!

[Guy Eakin @guyeakin]

@2Scottish demonstrating his black belt in interdisciplinary approaches today as he knits together a role for understanding thrombotic events in lipedema research. 🙏!! heard at the @LipedemaFndn retreat!

“Do children get #Lipedema? Maybe. But every woman with Lipedema was once a child. When we look at her childhood photographs, we are left with the sense that we might have done something differently if we’d known what to look for.” – CSO Guy Eakin, LF’s 2022 Scientific Retreat.

[Joseph Rutkowski @TAMU_Rutkowski]

Great to be a part of such a vibrant and growing community

[Guy Eakin @guyeakin]

[Farshid Guilak @Farsh_G]

Exciting talk at @LipedemaFndn by Leah Bellas @BellasFATLab on building functional and dysfunctional adipose tissue models! w/@guyeakin @KelseyHCollins

[Guy Eakin @guyeakin]

@Farsh_G @LipedemaFndn getting ready for you and @KelseyHCollins

[Guy Eakin @guyeakin]
