Can you imagine if the Wakefield paper never saw the light of day and where we might be now?

It's time for Tox Tuesday and some fountain pen structures! This beast is BREVETOXIN-1, produced by the marine dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. It is also the cause of neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP). But aside from harming humans, it also harms our economy, so buckle up!

I feel this… AZ is just on big dust bowl. Every night cetirizine or loratadine (whatever 90 day bottle I buy) is the routine. πŸ‘ƒπŸΌπŸ’¦

Pulled the trigger on a new whip (X6 Msport)… slapped on some fresh tint and ceramic coating! My Jeep (2019 Grand Cherokee) just couldn’t cooperate after 3 waters pumps… now needing a 4th, oil leaking from everywhere, and engine mounts blown. 😎

Congrats on the upcoming πŸ‘ΆπŸ»

Still working on projects from fellowship & now, my post-fellow job is asking me to projects (somewhat optional) amongst other groups asking for me to join projects/research.

I get it, b/c if you pass an opportunity, it may not come back & you want to remain relevant.

Today marks the end of an era… said adios to my Jeep after 7 years, but at 46,000 miles I shouldn’t be on my 3rd water pump needing a 4th, engine mounts shot & an oil leak from who knows whereπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ.

A striped pajama squid. They're about 2 inches long and are white with black stripes that run lengthwise down its body.

The striped pajama squid are one of the few organisms that are both venomous AND poisonous. They can inject tetrodotoxin with their tiny teeth, and they secrete a poisonous slime when threatened to deter predators. So don't let it bite you and don't bite it. Besides, it's super cute.

1/3 Last week we had the privilege of hosting @nephrotox.bsky.social Dr Josh King (Univ Of Maryland) as a Visiting Professor at Ochsner Medical Center. The visit started with a wonderful talk for our Nephro Dept on removal of toxins/poisons with extracorporeal therapies. Everybody was very engaged!
