The official release of our manuscript examining arterial myocyte Panx1 role in diabetic vascular dysfunction is out! Massive effort to uncover new mechanisms underlying vascular disease. Power of science! @ucdavis.bsky.social, @ucdavispharm.bsky.social www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

A little bit late but I’m honored and humbled to have been selected back in May as the recipient of the 2025 @ucdavis.bsky.social, @ucdavishealth.bsky.social Research Award! This recognition belongs to the M&M Lab members!

Manning & Rivera et al. (www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/...) show that pruning just a few capillaries in the SA node plunges the heart’s pacemaker into metabolic overdraft—slowing the rate and jacking up beat-to-beat variability. The physiological equivalent of running on fumes. @jaccjournals.bsky.social

Great way to start the week with the release of this collaborative work with students and Drs. Horne & Hell @ucdavispharm.bsky.social, @ucdavis.bsky.social. Get your copy now! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Are you a #postdoc in Germany 🇩🇪 interested in exploring research abroad 🌍? Consider applying for a 6–24-month research stay abroad through the Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship (@humboldt-foundation.de) If you love genes 🧬, brains🧠 and NYC 🍎, we could be your lab host!

Please tell your colleagues - The Journal of Precision Medicine is open for submissions! Please feel free to screenshot the QR code and share with colleagues!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of those that celebrates! 🍁 Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias a todos los que celebran! 🍁

@palsoumiya.bsky.social congrats on the Hypertension paper. Very cool!

Question for the community: I am interested in understanding the shortage of American postdocs in academia. In addition to salary and the work-life balance, what other factors can be improved to encourage more participation? Academic research opened many doors for me & I want others to benefit too!

Post doc position of possible interest at UC Davis: ohi.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/careers On "ecological and environmental drivers of zoonotic virus emergence, transmission and circulation and the development of innovative technology and approaches for transdisciplinary pandemic research."

Great to see so many people on this site, and mostly talking about science. Let's keep it growing and learning about exciting science!

Excited to be here and looking forward to the many interactions about science!

Hello WORLD!!! We are here to support science, our students and faculty and to share activities, information and many other great things that are going on in our grad group. Follow us!

WELCOME to the Blue Sky!!! Looking forward to going back to basics and interacting with people about science 🔬🧪
