This is part of my thesis work - excited to see this in print at Gut Microbes! We found that the microbiome influences survival of intestinal stem cells after chemotherapy. Thanks to my coauthors @jecortes_ @TheRiotMicrobe and mentor @Aggie93PhD.

Tonight, we joined with communities and individuals across the country in a moment of unity and remembrance as part of the National COVID-19 Memorial.

Social distancing may not have allowed us to gather in person around our retriever tonight, but we can gather in spirit.

Love this!

[Random loose mRNA lying around in a deltoid]

Nobody:

Ribosome: let me go ahead and transcribe this

Macrophage: Yo, check out this cool spike I found

T-cell: wtf is that? Get rid of it. Where’s Bob?

B-cell: yes?

T-cell: If it ever shows up here again...

B-cell: yes mam

From NYT a timely opinion piece, We Need More Doctors Who Are Scientists. Yet why are many med schools de-emphasizing the basic science curriculum? "https://t.co/uzYe6t4SXM

The Amazon rainforest:

-Is the world's largest remaining tropical rainforest
-Is home to at least 10% of global biodiversity
-Produces 20% of the world's oxygen
-Helps regulate the planet's temperature

Without it, climate change could become irreversible https://t.co/CkDwgDhvoe
