Congratulations to Dr. Bradford Hill and Team for their recently accepted publication on the metabolic changes that underlie exercise-induced cardiac growth in @JMCCardiology https://t.co/3LAHF72tZ0
Great work (as always!) being done in the @uofl Division of Environmental Medicine and @UofLEnvirome. Congrats to Drs. Keith, Lorkiewicz and their team! π³π @uoflmedschool

Last week undergrads in the BioBridges program & other guests toured Envirome Institute labs. Many thanks to faculty and staff including Ray Yeager, Pawel Lorkiewicz, David Hoetker & Brad Hill for sharing their enthusiasm for the biological sciences! @uoflbiology@pklork01@uofl
Question to #teammasspec#exposomics#metabolomics and #sciencetwitter We have over 600 structures + MS data for urinary metabolites not found in databases like HMDB. Can you suggest a repository where we could share these with the scientific community?
@YishaiLevin We really like DYMO LabelWriter 450 Turbo Thermal Label Printer. There are hundreds of different labels available for this device including cryo labels. We purchased ours from Amazon. VWR sold it for 10x more! Hope this helps.

I am happy to announce that our latest manuscript "Evaluation of urinary limonene metabolites as biomarkers of exposure to greenness" has been published in the journal Environmental Research. LINK: https://t.co/DVN8HS6gaK #exposomics#greenness@UofLEnvirome
Nature can be part of the solution to heat mitigation, even in cities! Read the #CoolingCities report fr @NaturalAreasNYC. And keep an eye on our urban #greening research projects in Louisville, @GreenHeartLou and the Trager MicroForest Project at Founder's Square. @UDStudioLou
Some very recent data generated for #METLIN as well revisiting the original work of @XaviDomingo1 https://t.co/N0seQ9vSOS @an_chem is making me wonder whether a great deal of the "dark metabolome" is in fact ESI in-source fragmentation.
Departments who are currently recruiting TT, LGBTQIA+π³οΈβπ representation in your faculty may be one of many important factors to think about.
Efforts to include LGBTQIA+ folks in institutional or programmatic ways are sometimes overlooked bc these efforts may only see an LGBTQIA+ identity as a sexual habit. While this is true, it is also only a small part of a bigger identity. Many Queer people and π³οΈβπ family navigate life in ways that can be marginalized. Seeing a queer scientist on your faculty as a #professor may go a long way toward showing many scientists that they belong here too.

Analyzed stable isotope resolved metabolomics MS, LCMS data w/ software from many vendors 4 years. Sadly, workflows were complex and time-consuming. Recently, we figured how to use Unifi, simple scripts & Excel &significantly sped up process 4 @WatersCorp MSe data. Big milestone
@Rafa_Garrett@gcharkoftaki@WatersCorp I find Unifi to be extremely powerful. With that said, it is super buggy and clunky and doesn't allow for easy, intuitive operations. I wish they could just let us upgrade to Connect after they incorporate Unifi or parts of Unifi into the package.
Hey, #TeamMassSpec Does your MS vendor update their software frequently? We are predominantly a @WatersCorp lab and deal with buggy software that hardly ever gets updated and it bothers me a lot. I wonder if it's a phenomenon seen across vendors.
