Today the UVM Cancer Center parked their new Outreach and Education Van on campus to introduce the new mobile screening and learning unit to the community. #UVMCancerCenter @uvmvermont.bsky.social

“Lab-van” conversion! UVM @uvmlarnermed.bsky.social mobile lab is bringing science to students in rural schools across #Vermont. #scicomm #scienceiscool #stem #medsky #UVMLarnerMed #UVMFutureDocs #LarnerResearch #LarnerFaculty

The DOGE chainsaw just hit a huge spike! An emergency ruling by a federal judge in California has temporarily halted the illegal overhaul of the federal government including attacks #NIH & #NSF. Resistance works, but our legal system takes time. Hang in there folks.

What a week. At least we only have 1359 days left with this administration.

👀 New paper alert! @devdoot.bsky.social. The #endothelial cell scramblase TMEM16f is critical for #hemostasis, independent of platelets. This explains bleeding in Scott's syndrome. #ionchannels #endothelium #bloodvessel #hemostasis #NIGMS #NHLBI #scicomm 1/n pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39874534/

So nothing will be awarded until they issue a new policy in September. If you have a foreign collaborator on a project, need to wait until then to see if you can revise the structure OR remove foreign collaborator & redistribute extra funds to collaborators / new domestic subawards. #medsky #NIH 🧪

University of Vermont @uvmvermont.bsky.social students in the lab, working hard to wrap up their outstanding research work for the end of the term. #vermont #uvmlarnermed #premed #medsky #academicsky

@dablab.bsky.social team discovered that an #ionchannel - TRPC3 - drives the myogenic response in transitional #pericytes but not smooth muscle cells, making it a target to rescue abnormal #cerebrovascular flow in #neurodegeneration. #neuroskyence #scicomm #MedSky 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Abigail Howard, senior in biomedical engineering, presented her work at the @uvmvermont.bsky.social SRC. She used FACS to understand #vascular #endothelial cell inflammatory responses that drive trauma induced coagulopathy. Stay tuned for paper in preparation from this team! #EMSky #Immunosky

Dr. Nesheiwat is NOT an emergency physician. EM training takes 3-4 years of residency training followed by ABEM examination, but she didn’t bother. She just made it up! 😠 She is a liar and a fraud. Perfect fit for this administration. #EMedSky #EMSky #MedSky www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-s...

Happy dogs. No fences, no leashes - just us & the forest! #Vermont #GreenMountains #Getoutside #BorderCollies #Dogs #DogsofBlueSky

"Dear @senmullin.bsky.social, Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cornyn..[and 6 others]" "These hastily-executed NIH contract cuts will damage medical research for diseases like cancer&dementia..." "It would be taking the side of cancer to do nothing to stop [the cuts]" Letter sent to R Senators:

Happy Easter!

We need continued investments in research to make us healthier, uplift our institutions of higher education and create good jobs for hardworking Vermonters. @uvmvermont.bsky.social @uvmlarnermed.bsky.social #Standupforscience #SciencePolicy #NIH #FundScience #Vermont vtdigger.org/2025/04/15/k...

The translation of microbiome research into clinical practice is happening! Review of new FDA-approved microbiome therapies for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections and emerging fields of microbiome-based diagnostics and therapeutics. #ImmunoSky #MedSky

This year’s National Public Health week falls during one of the darkest periods in the history of public health. Instead of celebrating their amazing work, we are witnessing a devastating attack on public health servants, scientists and programs across our country. #MedSky #AcademicSky #Research

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

Yesterday was one of the darkest days in modern scientific history (so far) with mass layoffs at #NIH. The lives and careers of scientists devoted to advancing medical research were destroyed as the attack on science and academia continues unabated. #EMedSky #ImmunoSky #Neurosky #MedSky #AcademicSky

Lil’ sister made it to the “next level” this weekend, chasing her brother through the woods! So awesome. And so much snow! ❄️ #girldad #proud #ski #skiing #skisky #stowe #vermont

Changes in endothelial cell large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BKCa) after #hypoxia may explain the altered myogenic tone which impacts blood flow following ischemic #stroke. #ionchannels #vascularbiology #physiology #cerebrovascular #endothelium #neurosky #emedsky #medsky

Futile reperfusion of ischemic tissue after #stroke increases the risk of death and disabilities. Spatial transcriptomics provides new insights into the vascular alterations that drive this process. #BBB #cerebrovascular #neurosky #emedsky #medsky 🧪

Headline news in our local paper - “Stink Bombs Shut Down Library” - it happened twice in recent weeks, and those naughty schoolchildren are in big trouble! #Vermont #rural #smalltown #stinkbomb #library

How do endothelial cells in #liver become leaky, while those in #brain tissue form an impermeable barrier? Because transcriptional regulators drive endothelial cells towards organ-specific specialization. #endothelium #bloodvessel #ImmunoSky#MedSky 🧪

Some straight talk about T-B-I’s, brain health, and how to protect your noggin, from @uvmtraumalab.bsky.social (@uvmlarnermed.bsky.social) We also discuss how NIH-funded research at #UVMLarnerMed helps Vermonters! #TBI #FundScience #NIH #MedSky #EMedSky #AcademicSky🧪 youtube.com/watch?v=huYq...

ASBMB members & staff joined @faseborg.bsky.social’s Capitol Hill Day to advocate for critical federal funding for science!

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

Nature's light show, over Waterbury VT tonight 😍 Different colors appear due to the type of gas particles colliding with solar winds: highly reactive atomic oxygen at higher altitudes creates green and red, nitrogen adds blue and purple. 🧪 #scienceiscool #aurora-borealis #northernlights #vermont

This thread shares that UMich, Yale, U of AZ have set aside funds to support researchers who are getting these disgusting grant announcements from NIH… Who else? This small step should spread…

Do you know why Americans are angry? Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant.  At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%. We need an economy that works for all, not just billionaires.

Thanks @sanders.senate.gov & @balint.house.gov for bringing the fight! Your staff welcomed our team of scientists visiting for FASEB’s Capitol Hill Day, asked important questions, took notes, and reassured us that you have our backs. #FASEBonTheHill #FundScience #NIH #MedSky #UVMLarnerMed🧪

My privilege to team up with FASEB President-elect Eric Kelley today. We visited the W. Virginia and #Vermont offices together to explain how science research saves lives, creates jobs and keeps the USA competitive. #FASEBonTheHill #FundScience #NIH #MedSky #AcademicSky #UVMLarnerMed🧪

Did you know “flat-funding” for NIH at FY24 levels is actually a cut? Without accounting for inflation (BRDPI is 2.7%) there is less money available so grants on the cusp will not be funded. Prepping for Capitol Hill Day! #FASEBonTheHill #FundScience #NIH #MedSky #AcademicSky #UVMLarnerMed🧪

Go lil sis! She skied moguls with the boys for the first time this weekend. 💕 #girldad #ski #skisky #Vermont

#endothelium In the body's innermost design, The endothelium does truly shine. Its delicate layer, strong and free, Maintains the blood vessels' harmony.
