Does anyone want to collaborate on a #breastcancer #obesity #immune project who has a PhenoCycler or can analyze more than 7 protein markers per slide at once? I ran into a road block. #Science

Science question... does anyone know what fraction (in general) of cholesterol is converted to steroid hormones in humans, vs other downstream cholesterol products? My husband says it's negligible... 😐 Does cholesterol go up after menopause in women?

This is Ayla, named after my favorite book character (The Clan of the Cave Bear). She swims every day, no matter what. It's 57 degrees now, and the pool is frigid, but she just swam. Fitting, because Ayla in the book was famous for her daily swims, even breaking ice to get in #samandayla

First post. I'm working on a new strategy for setting and meeting goals. One personal goal is to read more books. To this end, I organized one of my bookshelves. Do you see one of your favorites? Stacks on the counter and what to put in the middle are in progress, but feeling centered now 😊
