I was particularly proud of Iona Palmer, Dean’s Research Scholar in my laboratory, for her fantastic presentation on the importance of sleep during the perinatal period. Looking forward to seeing how these studies progress. #CollinsLab

Wow. A blast from the past. 19 years ago this week we all got our bachelor’s degree results. In order to buy some time, the Professors made us do a group photo; however, they took the photo when no one was looking.

Now in this energizing session #AHA25 is Adam Wende. He is talking about the key role of O-GlcNAcylation in heart failure. It is important to note that this PTM is essential for normal physiology too! #cardiosky
