Congratulations to Ben Doelling, a biochemistry and Molecular Genetics PhD student in the laboratory of Dr. Shahid Baba, for receiving an NIH F31 Fellowship. This project will examine the Biochemical Silencing of Maladaptive Inflammation in Heart Failure. #cardiosky

Flyer from University of Louisville's Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute seeking adult volunteers for a research study about the impact of urban greenness on stress in humans. Healthy adults based in Louisville who are interested in participating should contact the Envirome Institute at envirome@louisville.edu or 502-215-3786.

If you live in Louisville, you might be able to help us investigate the impact of urban green spaces on human health.

We're looking for healthy adult volunteers between the ages of 18-75.

If you're interested in learning more about the study, contact us at envirome@louisville.edu.

Our 5th Annual Trainee Day was a huge success! We packed it with professional development: pitches, posters, interviews, and a "Shark Tank" scientific pitch. Congrats to all winners: Brittany Reynolds, Ilaria Ferrari, Jonah Stephan, Jamila Makhloufi, Caitlin Howard, and the winning pitch team!

Be sure to check out these 3 Center faculty and trainee events and presentations happening today at #BCVS25. #cardiosky @ahascience.bsky.social @uoflenvirome.bsky.social @stevenpjones.bsky.social @drhelenecollin1.bsky.social

Heading to the poster session on day 2 of #BCVS25? Interested in sex differences? Caitlin Howard, from the laboratory of Dr. Steven Jones, will present her second poster of the week, highlighting sex-dependent differences in cardiac fibroblast biology. #cardiosky @stevenpjones.bsky.social

The second poster presentation from the Center, to be given on the opening day of #BCVS25, will be presented by Caitlin Howard, a PhD student in the lab of Dr. Steven Jones. She will discuss the impact of fibroblast-derived hyaluronan in ventricular remodeling. #cardiosky @stevenpjones.bsky.social

Next up on the opening day at #BCVS25, we have three Center poster presentations. The first of these will be presented by Ilaria Ferrari, an MD/PhD student, in Dr. Steve Jones’s lab. She will present on the impact of voluntary exercise on post-MI remodeling. #cardiosky @stevenpjones.bsky.social

For those making a list of talks and posters to attend at #BCVS25 next week, the Center's first presentation will be delivered by Dr. Collins, who will present on metabolic changes in the maternal heart and the implications for pregnancy-associated cardiovascular disease. #cardiosky

Man banned after stealing Pride flag from Car Wash in Waterdown A car wash in Waterdown had one of its pride flags ripped off a door last Sunday by a customer who said they were offended by the LGBTQ+ symbol.

If you are in the Waterdown, ON area, stop in for a car wash & support a business that doesn't back down from the fragile homophobes.

What better way to celebrate #Pride2025 than to patronize businesses that stand up against hate?

Ever wondered how cardiac substrate utilization impacts exercise capacity? If so, check out this new paper in Circ Res, led by Kara Gouwens in the Center. This work shows that cardiac ketone body oxidation is required for hyperketonemia-induced increases in exercise performance. #cardiosky

Congrats, Team Resolution!

Congratulations to Dr. Pena Calderin, Dr. Jason Hellmann, and the rest of the team for this new publication in ATVB. This work suggests that a high-fat diet reduces the pro-resolving effects of exercise in adipose tissue through the reduction in catecholamine biosynthesis. #cardiosky

Congrats, Bing!

I am so very proud of Avery. They have worked so hard and diligently during their bioengineering cooperative student placement in my lab. I am also super happy to welcome them back to the lab as masters student. Everyone needs an Avery in their lab. Looking forward to seeing you get another award

Today, we have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Cat Makarewich from Cincinnati Children’s. She will be presenting recent work from her laboratory focused on discovering and understanding the biological roles of micropeptides in the heart.

Cardiology PDs, take note for a couple of years from now…this talented clinician-scientist in training:

A role for protein aggregates in heart failure?

This issue’s cover features work from Abhinav Diwan & team on protein aggregation in the post–myocardial infarction myocardium: buff.ly/E679dLE

More than 40 years after Mr. Dugas' death, Secretary Kennedy looks to undo decades of HIV/AIDS progress by gutting the HHS Office of Infectious Diseases & HIV Policy.

Sadly, not surprising given that RFK Jr denies the science linking HIV & AIDS.

Well done, Sophie. After all, how could we have a good Center for Cardiometabolic Science without a talented kidney PI?

Thank you again for the opportunity to present and the great feedback and suggestions you all provided. It will vastly enhance my upcoming research plans and collaborations

Looking forward to this opportunity to present and get feedback at the ZOOMing in on preeclampsia seminar series next week. Understanding pregnancy-associated cardiac adaptations is of the utmost importance for reducing cardiovascular disease during pregnancy and preventing CVD later in life.

This afternoon at #SOT25, Dr. Dan Conklin and his former summer student, Pierce Bergin, will be presenting work on the effects of air pollution and hypertension on cardiovascular remodeling. @sotoxicology.bsky.social

Today at #SOT25, Dr. Petra Haberzettl, a faculty member in the Center, will present work from her laboratory on the effects of air pollution on circadian rhythms and metabolic health. @sotoxicology.bsky.social

The Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto has a faculty opening for a full-time tenure-stream position at the rank of Assistant Professor.
