@AJPRenalEIC presenting at our publishing workshop @FeSBE annual meeting in Campinas
Was honored to present a plenary lecture last night about bugs and the gut at the outset of @FeSBE annual meeting held in Campinas. Today, onto a publishing workshop featuring @JPhysiol and fellow editors from @APSPublications @AJPRenalEIC and Luis Michea.
I’ll be in Santiago mid-July for a session aimed at helping #ECRs get their work published with @LuisSobrevia2 @AJPRenalEIC and Luis Michea!

Such a kick in the butt to human biology…😬 Lactate is produced under fully aerobic conditions (shown by George Brooks ~40 yrs ago) and during exercise it comes from muscle glycogen, the very pathway that gave Meyerhof the Nobel Prize in 1922… Yet most scientists still don’t…
What is lactate? During anaerobic exercise, the body breaks down liver glycogen to produce energy, which generates a byproduct called pyruvate. In the presence of adequate oxygen, pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA

Finally a good news post 😬. The NIH has started reinstating 900 critical research grants that were deemed unlawfully canceled. The court’s decision is a significant victory for researchers and institutions challenging the politicization of science funding.

If you are a researcher working on sex differences & women's health, consider attending this @APSPhysiology conference. A great opportunity to hear from & network with international leaders in biomedical research. Abstract submission is open!👇🏻 physiology.org/professional-d…
Thank you for everything Carmen! It was a pleasure working with you these two weeks. We’ll continue this scientific adventure 🇺🇸 🇨🇱
It was great having @caamadorc in @UAB_NRTC these last 2 weeks! As part of our research exchange agreement with @USanSebastian he gave 2 fantastic talks to our Division and trainees and we deepened our ongoing collaboration studying kidney damage. Much more to come! @abby_brookss
