Many thanks to our clinical collaborators for collecting so many samples over so many years, and also to the patient’s parents and guardians for consenting to being in the study.

Comparative Analysis of Inflammatory Response in Surgical Wound Drainage Fluid in Scoliosis Surgery: A Study of Neuromuscular vs. Idiopathic Patients This study examines immune and inflammatory responses in draining wound fluid over the course of the early stages of wound healing in patients recovering from spinal fusion surgery. The inflammatory p...

Just got a paper accepted with no revisions. Cool. The peer reviewed version will be coming out soon, but meanwhile you can find it on medRxiv. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Anyone notice that the parent announcements for all the F grants have disappeared.

Also super impressed with how everyone came together to rearrange their busy schedules to get the study section rescheduled on short notice. Dedicated reviewers!

Study section done. Zoom is hard, being chair is hard, but I think when you have ADD it is REALLY hard. LOL. SO tired now. That took every ounce of my concentration.

Well I guess she can sue and Elon will fund her legal bill. Cool.

What we’re speeding rather quickly toward is why pay taxes to a government that uses funding as a retaliatory tool?

What?!?!?!?!?

My study section that I was supposed to co-chair tomorrow was "rescheduled for a future date".....

I thought the tone of the recent notifications from the NIH sounded off. They are AI generated. Are robots in charge now? That could explain a lot.

Same. I sort of thought they weee silly at the time.

Oh wow that is sadly spot on.

As someone who says yes and is quite overwhelmed with service obligations… I see colleagues who have essentially do no service with no apparent consequences….. I wonder if this might be good advice? Or perhaps service needs to start playing a bigger role in promotion and grant funding decisions? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Still time to register for this excellent conference! See you in January in California!

When they were decorating I did comment that anyone with a spider phobia was going to have issues.😂

Or should I say appy hour

Still trying to get a picture with the whole lab present, but this is close. Halloween happy hour!

The issue also is that not all raw milk is the same. Living on a farm and having fresh cow to table milk is different than getting your raw milk after it has been stored for a few days.

The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Plus reviewing grad apps for the program I direct AND writing many grad school rec letters. Thanksgiving is going to be great....

Someone (who clearly does not teach or write grants) decided to update the grants system for the University next month. This means all December grants are due the week after Thanksgiving which is also the end of the semester. I have 5 grants due Dec 6th + end of semester stuff. Make it make sense.

Also apparently if you get put on a starter pack..... It is a game changer.

Me too. I plan on being a Twitter lurker.

Oh cool.

Yeah I just did the same. 200ish new followers that look like real people :)

Hadn’t been on here in ages, and now I have 100s more followers. Are people fleeing X in droves?
