- Reposted by JoAnn TrejoNo science or nature today. ICE just murdered another person in my home state, an ICU nurse working with vets & now they're trying to frame him for the action . All because ICE is angry & afraid of the 50000 Minnesotans who marched yesterday. If you're not calling Congress you're letting them down

- Dr E Camerer and colleagues @PARCC uncover an essential role for circulating S1P in maintaining blood pressure and left ventricular systolic function. They also highlight distinct functions for the pools of S1P bound to HDL or to albumin. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

- Reposted by JoAnn TrejoI wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?
- Reposted by JoAnn TrejoI was a UC PPFP fellow when I was a postdoc at UCSD. This program is invaluable--aside from support for two years of my postdoc, I received excellent mentoring from faculty at the UCs. This fellowship set me up for success and gave me a cohort of fellow postdocs who are now UC faculty. 1/2
