@AerLingus Hi - I just booked Avios flights with you via the BA website. At the moment, there is no option to buy/assign seats on the Aer Lingus Manage Booking page. Will this become available at some point before check in?

@Mike_kim714 Scottish Open please!

@Top100Rick I’m an overseas member at Aberdour. Costs $220 for unlimited golf all summer. Lovely course across the water from Edinburgh, you can see the whole city in profile from Edinburgh Castle to Arthur’s Seat. Right beside the water, but not a links course, and in great condition.

@PITairport Love the airport, but if you want to be an international destination, you need to figure out the international bag transfer system to landside. We’ve been waiting about an hour for something that should take 5-10 mins max.

Final plug - you can catch her talking about this project at SHVM in June in Bordeaux

New preprint from the lab - Adropin protects against cardiac metabolic remodeling in HFpEF

It was the product of many years of hard work by Bellina, along with several collaborators at Pitt. She will be sorely missed in the lab, but we wish her every success at Lilly.

Thanks to DOM alumni Drs. Eileen Wong, Ana Gorelova, Chelsea Merkel, and Charly Lai for taking part in our Postdoc Career Day session during the ⁦@PittDeptofMed⁩ Research Day.

Incredibly sad news about Gary Lopaschuk. He was a giant in the field of cardiac metabolism, and I greatly enjoyed meeting him when he visited Pittsburgh a few years ago to give a lecture. He will be sadly missed by many.

Fascinating work by Paramesha Bugga, an amazing postdoc in our lab.

New preprint from the lab: Cardiac-specific deletion of GCN5L1 promotes fatty liver disease in HFpEF

[Iain Scott @matrixule]

And it seems like the signal driving the liver dysfunction is altered branched chain amino acid metabolism in the heart leading to excess plasma BCAAs/BCKAs.

Wonderful visit yesterday to ⁦@PittDeptofMed⁩ by Dr. Lori Conlan, Director of Postdoctoral Services at the NIH Intramural Program in Bethesda. Dr. Conlan gave a fantastic talk to our DOM Postdocs about career planning. ⁦@NIH_OITE⁩

[Iain Scott @matrixule]

Come join us! In addition to vascular biology, we have a great group of people working on all aspects of cardiac function, metabolism, and mitochondrial biology.
