Hoping for safety tonight. Praying there is no radioactive contamination, no civilian casualties. The country is largely offline, many of us can’t reach our families to know what is happening. The fear is real. Innocent lives are at stake.
Stepping away from work for a moment, just a few reflections: To my non-Iranian colleagues: If you know any Iranians, especially newer students who have just recently moved abroad, check in on them. Many are still adjusting to life in a new place while also carrying the…
Thank you @UKYMedicine for all these years of support 💙
UK postdoc Dr. Shayan Mohammadmoradi is reshaping cardiovascular research — earning the @American_Heart Brinkhous Prize for his discovery that targeting VAMP-8 could prevent aneurysms. A scientist, leader, and communicator making impact from bench to bedside. 👏 #UKYMedicine
New editorial in @ATHjournal highlights our latest work! Using an AI-driven method to extract aortic diameters from EHRs, we uncover sex-specific responses to antiplatelet therapy. Read more: atherosclerosis-journal.com/article/S0021-…

Not bad! "In a database compiled by Stanford University in a partnership with Elsevier, 136 current UK scientists and scholars appear among the top 2% of the most-cited researchers across 22 disciplines." research.uky.edu/news/uk-scient…
Happy 4th of July! Today we celebrate freedom not just as a word, but as a pursuit. From science to speech, justice to joy freedom is the foundation we build on.
Monday morning, I woke up to this beautiful scenery from my hometown (sarcasm). Surreal. Picture credit unknown. #MIGA?
Please check on your Iranian students & colleagues. Many of us are trying to work while our cities are being bombed, often during US work hours, while checking if our families & friends are still safe. I promise, you cannot imagine what this feels like.
Do you understand over 10M people live in Tehran? Do you understand the chaos, roadblocks, gridlock, panic? Do you understand there’s nowhere to run, no way out? Do you understand humanitarian aid can’t get through? Tehran is a city full of civilians. This is not a battlefield.
"Iran should have signed the “deal” I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" –President Donald J. Trump
My hometown, my parents’ neighborhood, is under attack, being bombed. Do you know what it feels like to call your parents during a bombing, fearing for their safety? How long must civilians pay the price for political egos? Pray for peace.
Breaking news: Israel launched a “preemptive strike” on Iran, said Israel's defense minister Israel Katz. Katz declared a “special emergency situation” in Israel in anticipation of a potential retaliatory attack. wapo.st/4kHPoTJ

Grateful to @UKYMedicine for spotlighting my story. None of this was possible without strong mentorship. From early training to @AHAScience funded postdoc work on platelets in vascular disease, I'm committed to paying it forward. medicine.uky.edu/news/curiosity…
Our data raise important questions about sex-specific antiplatelet strategies in aneurysm management, especially given women’s higher rupture risk at smaller diameters. Our study also shows how AI tools like GPT-4 can transform EHR analysis and precision medicine.
These findings suggest aspirin's effectiveness varies by sex and potentially aneurysm size, underscoring the need for further research to refine antiplatelet therapy guidelines for aortic aneurysms 🔗atherosclerosis-journal.com/article/S0021-… @society_eas @MoradiShayan
Visa bans, funding cuts, and rising barriers are shaking the foundation of science and education. But to every international student and researcher, you are not alone. We see you. We stand with you. And we will keep fighting for a future where knowledge knows no borders.
Revoking Chinese student visas en masse is morally wrong because it targets individuals based on nationality or assumed affiliations, punishing innocent students who have already committed to life-changing academic paths. Financially, it undermines U.S. universities, which rely…

Beautiful work from my good friend @LeilaMohMDPhD.
Cannabis ≠ harmless? Excited to share that our paper is now published @JAMACardio! Our findings suggest an association between both marijuana smoking and THC edible use and vascular endothelial dysfunction. #CANDIDEStudy @UCSFCardiology @mattspringer63 jamanetwork.com/journals/jamac…
Imagine getting your U.S. university admission, only to have your visa interview canceled overnight. That’s what’s happening now. The student visa process already involves serious vetting. We need better planning, not panic-driven mid-cycle changes. Start with next year’s…
