I’m happy that my PhD time will count at some point in my life. Or death.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Very proud to share our lab’s recently published work in AJP-Heart
Early in my NIH K08 on #EndMT, we found an interesting signal in COL8A1 in athero, w/ biphasic response to TNF
