ugggggg, do I really have to come back to Twitter?? Anyway….i love thinking about how cells in the vasculature chit-chat.
We are currently hiring for two roles @sonkusarelab @UVACVRC : ***Postdoctoral Fellow*** and ***Research Scientist***. We are looking for highly motivated individuals to explore the role of ion channel networks in vascular health and disease.
I thought this was 20 years ago…
Brain endothelial gap junction coupling enables rapid vasodilation propagation during neurovascular coupling: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Why travel to Denmark to collect samples from a giraffe's heart? @conn_pann_fun lab members Skylar Loeb and Luke Dunaway, PhD, made the trip to learn more about diastolic heart failure. Red more: cvrc.virginia.edu/cvrc-trainees-…
Ugggg, I hate having to be back on Twitter, but ah well…..anyway…. 🍩Happy Donut Friday! 🍩 The lab thought I would miss Donut Friday since I was heading out of town but I didn’t forget! Now it’s a type 2 diabetes smorgasbord

Excited to pre-release the latest from the lab on how arterial myocyte Panx1 controls vascular reactivity in diabetes. Massive effort from the M&M Team in collaboration with @conn_pann_fun and Xiang Lab. @ucdavis, @UCDAVISPharmac1, @UCDavisHealth. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…
Finally online today: nature.com/articles/s4146… Thanks to all involved, especially @eyolab and the phenomenal undergraduates I've had the privilege to mentor. Also check out two of my other recent publications. 1) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/pmid/… 2) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Come join us!
Looking forward to this. Hotel rooms saved at a lower price until February 19. Rates further reduced for trainees. @SALLOUMFN @VCUHealthHeart @UVACVRC @CardioUva @conn_pann_fun
remember this HFpEF summit in March 2025 - what better opportunity to support California? Also I was just told that the cost of the hotel was recently decreased
hfpefsummit.org/program/ Looking forward to this @SALLOUMFN David Lefer - with an outstanding list of speakers and moderators!!!
🦕🦕 I’m happy this fun little book is finally out exploring how the physiology of the sauropod dino helped contribute to its dominance on earth for so long. However, I think I’ll stick to my day job 😁 🦕🦕

Our own Anne Kenworthy!
Read interviews with five inspirational women in #biophysics and published authors in @BiophysicalSoc journals—@BiophysJ and @BiophysReports hubs.li/Q02KMlFD0 Spotlight: Inspirational women in biophysics
Happy Donut Friday to these three! Zuza (@zuza_juskiewicz) received an AHA for work on Piezo2, Wyatt received BOTH an AHA and a F31 for work on basophils, and Skylar received an F31 for work on lymphatic alpha globin! Honored to have them in lab! (Pic from 2024 @vascularbiology)
