Where people live — and the air they breathe, green space they can access, and social and political conditions they experience — may play a major role in how the brain ages, according to a large international study recently published in @NatureMedicine. The lab of @Jiangclark is the only group in the US contributing electroencephalogram (EEG) data to this brain clock study! @HillaryUKPR @UKYMedicine @ResearchKY uknow.uky.edu/research/uk-co…

"If you have someone collapsing in front of you, you do not have time to assemble a syringe. You need something anyone can use." A celebration of the work of Dr. Daniel Wermeling, professor emeritus and inventor of #naloxone nasal spray, from @UK_COP. uknow.uky.edu/research/pharm…

After 25 incredible years in pharmacy, Dr. Frank Romanelli (@runblue) is embarking on a whole new adventure—this time on horseback! 🏇✨ The beloved professor and chief academic officer at @UK_COP has announced his early retirement to chase a lifelong dream few people knew about: becoming a professional jockey. While many retire to slow down, Romanelli is speeding up—literally! This spring, he'll ride exclusively for Cherie DeVaux Racing. His leadership, kindness, and humor will be deeply missed, but we couldn’t be more excited to see him take on this surprising next chapter. FULL STORY: bit.ly/3DWYmwe #TwitteRx #PharmEd @aacp
