I frequently see these herons on my run along the Delaware Canal. They are so patient as the look for breakfast. #Pennsylvania #running #birds

Aspen Trees have a connected root system. While a trunk may get damaged the interconnectedness allows for the growth of a new trunk. This noble tree is very resilient. Science and scientists are also resilient when we have a strong base and work together we do not fail.

I love this discussion about singing sand dunes.

When I travel I love to learn about the local science.

Did you know that you can make a sand dune sing?
The Shape-Shifting Science Of Sand Dunes
A sand dune is much more than just a big pile of sand. But how do they work? And what else do scientists want to know about sand?

I've been reading too much news and about politics. I needed to go to my happy place and read some immunology. #science #immunity

And just cause I feel like I have to say something... vaccines are safe and protective #vaccines

Online now: A TLR4-dependent fibroblast-monocyte axis in tumor-draining lymph nodes contributes to metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer
A TLR4-dependent fibroblast-monocyte axis in tumor-draining lymph nodes contributes to metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by high risks of relapse or metastatic disease. Mattavelli et al. identify a chemokine axis that recruits immunosuppressive monocytes to tumor-draining lymph nodes. By co-targeting this recruitment, the TNBC response to immune checkpoint blockade is augmented and metastasis to the lung is reduced.

As a scientist we need to think about the big-picture and ask if the planned path is still the best one, or if there is a need to pivot. Ultimately the data leads the scientist, not the other way around. #science

The study of "Starry Night" has lead to the observation the swirls in the sky are close to the physics of turbulent flow. My niece, Bella, is going to college. Akin to Van Gogh, her love of nature and careful observations are a clue, she will be a great scientist.
