Look it’s a pretty good day when you get promoted to full Professor, but it’s a MUCH better day when your friends get promoted too. One of the best parts of this job is the friends you make along the way.

Our study led by
@MyAnhNguyen9
and Huy-Dung Hoang is hot off the press in
@CircRes
! 👇 Their creative approach shows that miR-223 in atherosclerotic macrophages controls its genes mostly via translational repression. This miRNA is a powerhouse 💪!!
miR-223 promotes the anti-inflammatory phenotype & cholesterol efflux of macrophages. miR-223-/- in murine models yields atherogenesis, lipid-laden plaques, and increased inflammatory markers via broad translational effects.

Did you know that in Canada, almost all graduate programs start with enrolment into an MSc? If you choose to transfer into the PhD program, then great, but most do not. This gives students a lot of time (1.5-2y) to decide if a PhD (in that lab, that program) is really for them.

So look sometimes our lab does things like eat donuts or do karaoke, but other time we* do the important stuff like donate blood, in a time when it is desperately needed.

A great finish to a long and invigorating day at
@PittVMI
yesterday, sharing dinner with these fine folks. We talked science, grants, imposter syndrome, mentoring and most importantly, the necessity of champagne to celebrate just about anything. 🎉🎉

Hey everyone! Spread the word: Skype a Scientist is a very cool and fun way to get science into classrooms—around the globe. I showed students cells under a microscope and tissue dissection. All using only an iPad! They asked awesome questions and we all had fun.
Hey you!
Yes, YOU!
Will you do us a favor?
Tell someone you know about skype a scientist. We have 1000s of scientists waiting to talk to classrooms and groups of adults FOR FREE.
Tell them to check out our program and sign up at

I am so so fortunate to call this amazing scientist, clinician and mentor a friend. She has been instrumental in my career in so many ways, and I learn from her everyday. Including which wine is “garbage” (rosé).
@HeartInstitute
is lucky to have her.

To one of the greatest clinician scientists with whom I have had ever had the pleasure to work. Congrats Ruth McPherson!!

Finishing off winter break with a ski holiday with the whole family. On the slopes we ranged in age from 5 to 73 (including a first-timer exchange student from Italy). Conditions were amazing thanks to fresh snow and warm weather. 2020 is off to a great start!🎿 🏔

This is so important for those of us running a lab with complex experiments, animals, etc. I made the decision last week to shut down, so we have been able to plan and be in control to minimize the disruption. By the time the directive comes, we will already be closed and at home
At this point, every PI running a wet lab who isn’t in hard shutdown should start preparing for it immediately. It’s a matter of when not if, eventually university leadership will catch up and realize what’s going on.
At that point they may not give you much warning.
