- Check out one of our recently published clinical trials! We found that 6 weeks of losartan improved microvascular endothelial function and reduced angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction in healthy women with a history of preeclampsia.

- Reposted by Kelsey Schwartz, PhDHarvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

- Iowa district 1 friends! Join me TODAY at 2 pm at the (empty chair?) town hall for Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks at the Iowa City Public Library I’ll be speaking as a concerned constituent about how devastating the threats to biomedical research funding are, and will continue to be, to IA citizens.
- As a born and raised Iowan, I have remained here as a post doc due to the excellent research environment at UI. As such, I would love to hear why MMM is not standing up for us and opposing the cuts to the NIH that have a direct and severely negative impact on constituents in her district.
- Wonderful short bluetorial on how and why you should contact your elected reps to fight for scientific funding. Every single letter/email/call/meeting can have an impact on your representative. Call them today!!
- Amazing time at #StandUpForScience in Chicago on Friday. Thank you to the IL team for letting me help organize!! Reminder: call your representatives!! Use 5calls.org for a streamlined process to make your voice heard.
- TOMORROW!!! Me and a car full of science homies will be traveling to Chicago for their rally! Staying in Iowa? Make sure you walk out at noon!!! (I see you UIowa, ISU, and Grinnell College registered on the map!)

- Reposted by Kelsey Schwartz, PhDFreezing out the NIH's funding means freezing out American innovation. Research into curing cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all delayed. And ultimately it won't just cost us advancements in life-saving research, it will cost us lives.

- I just called the Iowa AG! Happy to pass on the script I made (IA specific but you can replace with your funding $). Check replies in this thread for examples if you want to make your own, too.
- Reposted by Kelsey Schwartz, PhDExcellent thread on indirect costs, how they fit into universities, and how we got here. 🧪
- Reposted by Kelsey Schwartz, PhDDisruptions to the NIH impact more than just science; they will hit all Americans in our wallets. I spoke yesterday with Becky Fogel from @kutnews.bsky.social about the important role NIH-funded research plays in the economy. 🧵 1/n www.kut.org/education/20...
