A sad day for Vascular Biology. As a student working on AAA, I learned a lot from the seminal works of Dr. Powell. Her controbutiom to IMPROVE randomised controlled trial was in particular interest for me.

May she rest in peace.

This cut affects a broad spectrum of the operations, including research, education, and patient care. This reduction is expected to significantly impact research initiatives, educational programs, and healthcare services.

Does that fight antisemitism?!

Gave a talk after 21 hours awake, 3 cities, 2 planes, and a long drive. Pretty sure I explained platelets as a jazz band improvising clot formation.
Honestly, might be onto something. True Gordon Conference vibes.
