Hot off the press. We observed elevated levels of G-CSF in AMD human donor RPE-Choroid tissue and identified c-reactive protein as an AMD associated stressor responsible for increased G-CSF levels. @choroidlab.bsky.social @adnankhan.bsky.social @stemcellseh.bsky.social.

Just got home from visiting with my good friend and collaborator Jens Kiilgaard in Copenhagen DK, and what should be waiting for me at my local record store…Linkin Park’s #EmilyArmstrong is incredible! Can’t imagine a better lead following the loss of Chester. Plus, pressed on translucent blue wax!

Growing up in Newfoundland, there were many interesting dialects. For instance, my mom’s entire family would drop and add the letter H resulting in sentences like “did you play hice ockey today?”. I recently told her about X, to which she replied, “whats hex?”. I said, it’s what Elon did to twitter!

If we learned nothing else from the pandemic it should have been that going to work while virally ill is bad. You might be able to ‘battle through’ but those you infect might not be so lucky. Sick days are not lazy nor a luxury, they are necessary for public health.
