Congrats again to @violetsqy.bsky.social , who passed her #PhD defense last week! One last research career discussion before she moves onto the next stage of her career as a #postdoc with my former mentor @danieljdrucker.bsky.social , looking forward to reading your exciting future papers!

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim… What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

Would just like to share that myself and Dr. Erin Mulvihill @uottawa.ca are guest editing a special issue on #incretin hormone action in the #cardiovascular_system for @physiolpharma.bsky.social (cdnsciencepub.com/topic/cjpp-c...)

Congrats to Dr. Jordan Chan @ualberta-pharm.bsky.social , who successfully defended his #PhD yesterday afternoon, and just completed his final public presentation! So proud of all your achievements and looking forward to reading about all your future exciting studies and success!!

Just wanted to say Happy International Women’s Day!! And give special thanks to all the amazing women in the Ussher lab doing great science!!

Scientists @schmidtocean.bsky.social have filmed a giant #jellyfish in the #deepsea off Argentina's Atlantic coast. The phantom jellyfish (Stygiomedusa gigantea) was discovered at a depth of around 250 meters. The tentacles of these creatures can reach up to ten meters in length tinyurl.com/rk6tjd3c

Happy to share a new paper we contributed to in collaboration with Dr. Dion Brocks' team @ualberta-pharm.bsky.social studying the #pharmacokinetics of #SCOT_inhibitors we've developed for the potential treatment of #T2D link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Had a fantastic time talking about #GLP-1 #medicines #ozempic with @jessicacbc.bsky.social a few days ago for CBC Radio Active www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

As 2025 comes to a close several exciting updates that we are happy to share that got delayed with all the travel and grant reviews this past month (delighted to have a short break now to enjoy the winter holidays!)

Just got back from @memorial u.bsky.social and unfortunately due to weather had to give my seminar to the Division of Biomedical Sciences virtually from my hotel room, but had a great time with @karwilab.bsky.social and hopefully get to visit again in the future when weather is more favorable!

Had a fantastic time at @aups-physiology.bsky.social 2025 meeting and sharing our lab’s research on cardiac substrate metabolism in #diabetic_cardiomyopathy
