Excited to share our new work in PDAC Cachexia. This work demonstrated that addition of factors like advanced age in murine models can uncover signatures that might have been obscured in other models.
Grateful for @jdoles.bsky.social ‘s mentorship and support!
Looking forward to all feedback :)

A week of interdisciplinary discussions and fun amongst early career researchers. Highly recommend!
The venue did not disappoint either!

The worst day to get cells out of liquid nitrogen - the day it gets refilled AND you’re wearing cotton pants 💀
Never helps if you are as tall as the tank.

I hope most people are aware that residential pest control is 90% scam, and the ones that do subscription treatment services are 100% a scam.

They have no incentive to actually solve whatever pest problem you think you have. They'd rather show up biweekly, spray blindly, and collect your money.
