Last week we had our lab Christmas lunch, where we had great food and great conversations. I was particularly touched by the thoughtful sweater gifted to me and the rest of the lab members by Iona, and crafty sleighs that Nora made. I am thankful for this wonderful group

Had the honor and privilege to hood my first student as co-mentor today at the doctoral hooding ceremony alongside Dr. Alex Carll. Having completed her PhD, Brittany will be moving to Virginia tech to start her postdoctoral studies. #cardiosky @cardiocarll.bsky.social

Congratulations to Tyler Jobe, a PhD student in the laboratory of Dr. Marcin Wysoczynski, for receiving an AHA Predoctoral Fellowship to examine the metabolic control of neutrophil function. You have a bright future ahead of you. #cardiosky @stevenpjones.bsky.social @uoflenvirome.bsky.social

Congratulations are in order. Last week at the Envirome Annual Awards Gathering, the Center's own, Dr. Yibing Nong, received the Faculty of the Year award, and Ben Doelling, a PhD student, received the Trainee of the Year award. These Awards are extremely well deserved, and we are proud of you both.

This week, Dr. Sophia Sears, Assistant Professor in the Center, will deliver an invited talk as part of the Indiana University School of Medicine Nephrology Divisions' Renal Research Seminar Series.

Spent this morning at the UofL LCTRC Retreat, where I got to hear about all of the exciting clinical translational studies ongoing at UofL.

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.

Congratulations to Richa Singhal, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Center, and her collaborators in the Division of Gastroenterology, on their recent publication in Scientific Reports.

Happening today!

Congratulations to Dr. Marcin Wysoczynski, Associate Professor in the Center, on his appointment as a regular standing member of the NIH Integrative Myocardial Physiology/Pathophysiology B (MPPB) Study Section. #cardiosky @uoflenvirome.bsky.social @uoflmedicine.bsky.social @stevenpjones.bsky.social

Being born with two X chromosomes brings a host of health benefits, and recognising this could lead to personalised medical treatments for men and women.

Job done. Kings of North London. Highest score line in a derby for 13 years and first hat trick in a derby since 1978 #AFC #gooner #NorthLondonForever #NorthLondonDerby

It’s north London Derby day. The most exciting day in football for an Arsenal fan, with the exception of cup games. Everything is at stake for Arsenal, we cannot lose to our arch rivals. Dig deep lads and show spurs how real football is played @arsenalfc.bsky.social

Their work showed that loss of this gene in fibroblasts, exacerbated heart failure in male, but not female, mice. Congrats, Dr. Little! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41250926/

Dr. Danielle Little, Jones Lab graduate, had her final paper published from her dissertation. She led a team that deleted the primary hyaluronan-producing gene (Has2) in fibroblasts.

Congratulations to the Center's own, Lianay Gutierrez Luque and Tyler Jobe, for their excellent presentation this week at #SfRBM25. We are proud of you both. Keep up the great work!

A big thanks to Heddwen Brooks, Licy Yanes Cardozo, and Stella Goulopoulou, PhD, and the APS for putting together this fantastic conference at Tulane University. So much great science, appreciation for all things women’s health, and the fellowship.

Many of the signs of perimenopause can also be symptoms of other conditions, and some of these get increasingly dangerous if they’re misdiagnosed

Happy to catch up with and meet so many great women at the #APSSexDiff2025 conference
