Great evidence based article! I have high cholesterol and seed oils were recommended by my doctor AND dietician alongside olive oil. Also sunflower oil is a staple of Bulgarian cooking so I'm not removing it from my kitchen any time soon. 🙄

I have a deeply ingrained memory of extracting DNA in the mornings while listening to the paper cutter in the background.

And btw, guess what Qiagen is giving away as a prize today at the ASM conference. 😃 I was just telling an undergrad coworker about gut check too.

Both captions and ASL interpreter at #ASMmicrobe opening last night! Great steps towards DEI. Captions weren't great but something to work on for next time.

That was such a trip down memory lane. Coincidentally, my Google photos recently reminded me of play testing...
