When your rockstar grad student is a talented graphic designer who loves puns and flow cytometry 😍. My new favorite mug! Best wishes from the Mac Lab for a happy holidays!! #Science #SciArt #GoWithTheFlow – at New York, USA

DOGE @elonmusk approach feels like a surgeon trying to remove a small tumor using a saw instead of a scalpel, without pre-op imaging or taking a patient history, and also removing organs that aren’t diseased but that they just don’t like. And with med students doing the procedure

Cutting NIH funds hurts all Americans.
Why? Three main reasons:
#1: These funds support a huge industry in all 50 states. For every $1 of NIH funding generated, there is a short-term return of ~$2.46 in economic activity1. The $4B in cuts will take away $10B from the economy.
Congratulations, Kristen and team @Zuloaga_Lab 🎉🎉🎉 – at New York, USA
With support from a $4M grant, @Zuloaga_lab is leading a new study into how #menopause impacts #AlzheimersDisease, and if an estrogen therapy that targets the brain could help protect against #dementia. #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth albanymed.org/news/4m-nih-gr…

Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken:
Vaccines are a miracle and amazing

I love getting to collaborate with these amazing scientists @GabbyFredman @Zuloaga_Lab @barrosolab here at @AlbanyMed !! And it was a great day sharing our research with @RepPaulTonko - a true champion for science. #Research #Innovation #Collaboration
We recently welcomed @RepPaulTonko for a discussion with @GabbyFredman, @barrosolab, @MacNamaraLab, and @Zuloaga_Lab about their collaborative research on aging, followed by a tour of the Fredman lab.
The result of a great collaboration with Yi-Pin Lin @c5486112 and support from @NIAIDFunding (and hard work from many @JesseBonin1). We were curious why Lyme disease outcomes are variable and we tested how co-infecting pathogens impacted pathology (& hematopoiesis!). – at New York, USA
Checkout our recent work on the impact of infection with multiple tick-borne pathogens on hematopoiesis!

REVIEW @SciImmunology @casanova_lab Yanick Crow
Genetic studies of type I IFN signaling reveal the narrow physiological range that is compatible with and essential for life

Went to the @LibertySciCtr with my daughter's class trip and saw some great agar art and this amazing mural of Dr. Fauci made out of #rubikscubes #pixelart ##SciArt #FieldTrip – at Gardnertown, NY
I'm excited to have this out in the world. Kudos to Rachel Grazda 🎉! We pursued the curious link between IFNg-dependent monopoiesis that accompanies bone marrow failure, and we began by asking why aren't dead cells being cleared? nature.com/articles/s41419-0… – at New York, USA
We found heterogeneity among bone marrow monocytes, but in all populations, we found increased expression of SIRPa. Efferocytosis was ⬇️ in bone marrow failure and correlated with high prostaglandins and reduced pro-resolving lipid mediators. #FailedResolution
Exogenous Resolvin E1 rescued #HSPCs and mortality in severe plastic anemia without immunosuppressive therapy. #BoneMarrowFailure @GabbyFredman
It was awesome to see Amber Bahr present her work on Type I IFNs in bacterial shock at #AAI2024 @ImmunologyAAI – at Chicago, IL
Lab field trip to see the tulips in Washington Square Park! The flowers did not disappoint. Some of us will be seeing some of you @ImmunologyAAI this weekend! Who's going to Chicago!? #AAI2024 – at New York, USA
Incredibly proud to shout out Rachel Grazda and Amber Bahr, both of whom were selected to present at this year's @AlbanyMed Graduate Student Award Day 🎊!! Huge congratulations to Rachel for winning 🌟1st place🌟 for her phenomenal talk 🎉!! #ProudMentor – at New York, USA

Being listed alongside my colleague from @Yale, Prof. Priyamvada Natarajan @Sheerpriya makes #TIME100 even more special to me. A star astrophysicist who is “Mapping the Heavens” with her brilliant new theories on black holes & dark matter 🌟
