Looking if anyone has a CAT ELISA source as my go-to from Roche was discontinued. Currently doing some revisions and need this or a work-around to quantify CAT in a reporter assay. Any advice welcome!

Trust in Scientists 🧪
Public confidence in scientists edged up slightly in 2024, according to a recent Pew Research Study, but still remains 10 percentage points below pre-pandemic levels. The confidence rise is split along party lines (88% vs. 66%), but notable that Republicans edged 5% higher YoY.

📢 Boosting Flu Vaccination Rates for Heart Health
Did you know? A study in Denmark found that simple electronic reminders focusing on the heart-health benefits of flu vaccines helped more people—especially heart attack survivors—get vaccinated. https://buff.ly/40Qbv3b #HeartHealth #PublicHealth
