Ever noticed your crying baby quiets when you carry them? It’s an evolutionary response.
Both infants and mice pups reduced crying, and lower heart rate when carried compared to being held while sitting.

North Carolina is second biggest loser when it comes to NIH grant terminations. This will have ripple effects across the state, making it a less desirable place to live.
Check out how much your state has lost in health research funding.

Go beyond social media fearmingering that toilet paper contains ‘toxic materials’.
Toxic means PFAS or forever chemicals. The exposure is mostly to the environment (and still fairly low compared to other sources) rather than you. No need to be afraid of PFAS in toilet paper!

So proud of my CFVH residents who are presenting two posters and one oral at #DDW2025 (one of the largest GI conference in the world).
We’re not (yet) an academic institution so this recognition of our work is HUGE!
Sad that one abstract got rejected but onwards and upwards.
