Yesterday I learnt about the latest novel functional role of lymhatics: immortality!
Watch Guillermo del Toro new Frankenstein movie to learn more.
I guess funding opportunities will be plenty now

Great to see and listen great talks from former postdocs Sathish Srinivasan, Xiaolei Liu, Noelia Escobedo, Ying Yang and Josh Scallan at the Lymphatic Forum in Chicago. Really needed spark in the middle of this dark time in history and so many uncertainties about the future of research in the US.

Despite the weather the Chicago scientific community (including prospective young PhD students) gathered today to Stand UP for Science and show that science is for everyone and that NIH support is critical to keep labs running.

Beautiful sunrise today in Chicago. Helps to make you feel better for sometime.

As a follow up on lymphatic research, here in the US NIH launched a National Commission on Lymphatic Diseases to generate a plan to better educate about lymphatics and to accelerate research in this topic.

Terrific first paper from the Liu's lab on the role of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling in the lymphatic vasculature (and also they got the cover)! Congratulations Xiaolei and many more papers to come

Great seeing former lab members Xin Geng, Ying Yang and Xiaolei Liu presenting the great work going on in their own labs at the AHA meeting in Chicago
