We've just launched the first large, site-less (home, direct to participant) randomized trial for treatment of #LongCovid, testing tirzepatide (a GLP-1 drug) vs placebo. Please help spread the word

Celebrated our paper: We show that supporting, rather than suppressing, some cellular responses to hypoxia can be neuroprotective. Sometimes, hypoxia markers are not just biomakers, but therapeutic avenues.

My first experience as an #NIH reviewer was extremely gratifying and honestly life changing.
I only wish I would have done it sooner…much sooner!
Junior PIs: this should be TOP on your priority list! No joke!

We are in the latest stages of submitting a major revision. I worked in the Neonatal ICU for 2 weeks #exhausted
Me: send me your manuscript, I will review it on the plane.
Lab member: No, you are taking a few days off this weekend. I am not sending you anything.

Viruses and the body made a pretty “thoughtful “compromise when they decided on an incubation period before symptoms…
by the time the second person in the house gets sick, the first one is recovered and ready to take care of the rest 🙄

Merry Christmas from the Neo ICU

I will always be in awe of the strength, resilience, love and selflessness of NICU families.
