Can't wait, with working link now!!! 🤩🤩

Can't wait!! 🤩🤩

Great article about our recent study on epitenon cells in tendon healing out today in the @urmed.bsky.social newsroom! www.urmc.rochester.edu/news/story/r... #teamtendon #teamepitenon

New #URochesterResearch in @natcomms.nature.com ⬇️ Led by Asst Professor of Orthopaedics Anne Nichols, PhD, the team uncovered the first direct evidence that epitenon cells play a key role in tendon healing and that removing them might actually improve recovery. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Finally, I don't know why we resist defining scientific research as a creative endeavor. Any scientist who has achieved some degree of professional success recognizes the creativity and the bursts of conceptual understanding that accompany major innovation.

Our paper is out today in @natcomms.nature.com ! A short 🧵: rdcu.be/eugVT

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

And, apart from me announcing I am out of the office because of illness, should we talk about something more exciting? Anyone interested in human #fibroblasts and their roles in health and disease? Take a look at this Review we recently published in our journal! 👉https://rdcu.be/eqKaT bit.ly/3Ztppa5

Today, my NIH colleagues and I did something scary but really important. We spoke up about egregious harms we are seeing happen to research participants and public health through thoughtless and politicized policies at NIH. 🧵1/3 apnews.com/article/nih-...

Join us on Tuesday, April 1 (6:00-7:00pm) in Goergen 108 to learn about the importance of prioritizing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in biomedical engineering! #biomedicalengineering #diversity #inclusion #accessibility

I'm starting a project to help trainees (undergrads, graduates, or postdocs) in orthopaedic research who have been affected by recently terminated grants (e.g. diversity supplements). If you know someone affected, please send me the details. "Re-sky", pls! @orssociety.bsky.social @asbmr.bsky.social

Scientists are unfairly and devastatingly seeing their grants cut and careers thrown into uncertainty, yet are still working 24/7 to continue their research, treat patients, talk to journalists, advocate with elected officials, and keep the public informed about potential threats. Absolute heroes!

Thanks @ryanet.bsky.social for sharing- I just called my 3 representatives and spoke to an actual human at 2/3. Only took maybe 20 minutes.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Biomedical researchers! If you've not already done so, please use our advocacy letter templates at aimbe.org/advocate/. We also urge people to call their lawmakers to voice their concerns while the proposed NIH 15% cap on indirect cost rates is temporarily blocked under a restraining order 👇

The impact of cuts in the NIH & NSF budget on the industry behind research (regents, test kits, lab supplies, etc) will be huge. In my community LabCorp, Fisher and Carolina Biologicals all have facilities—they will be devastated.Thermo Fisher alone has a workforce of around 122,000 employees 1/2

Thrilled to announce the creation of the @elisabethbik.bsky.social Science Integrity Fund to provide "funding for training programs, grants, or awards for science integrity advocates." Thanks to @science.org for covering this. Help us grow the fund with a tax-deductible donation.

so long, and thanks for all the fish.....

My occasional reminder to folks on tenure and promotion committees that there will be a cohort of people whose early careers were defined entirely by the pandemic and *waves vaguely* this nonsense, and it *will* impact their productivity. It can't not.

Last night's pause on grant funding as of 5 pm today hurts the economy in all 50 states, throwing researchers studying diseases into chaos. Look up your state: unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-... Read the memo here: "not limited to" doing heavy lifting: washingtonpost.com/documents/de...

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you

Is this the universe telling us that we're on the right track with our mouse model of tendon healing??? 🤯 #teamtendon

Are you a trainee in the @orssociety.bsky.social Tendon Section, and are the presenting author on an abstract at this year's meeting? If you are going to be at the annual meeting, sign up to compete in the 3-minute-thesis competition! $$ prizes will be awarded! forms.gle/WneTNbVpuECP...

Hey #ORS2025 Annual Meeting attendees! Save the date for our advocacy session on Feb. 8 from 12:45-1:45 PM 🗓️ We're excited to host esteemed musculoskeletal leaders, Drs. Mary Bouxsein & Tamara Alliston, to share their experiences working within the @asbmr.bsky.social! 🤩 @orssociety.bsky.social

I'm not sure what I expected 😂 #teamtendon

I cannot think of anyone more deserving than Megan Killian (@megankillian.bsky.social) for the Community Council Chair on the ORS Board of Directors ballot 😍 Megan is one of those rare gems who goes above and beyond in making folks feel included and heard. A fantastic human being 👇 t.co/h60xhz38NN

#teamtendon lives on

catch ya'll on the flip side...

It's tough to watch this all unfold from far away from home. Any and all donations are appreciated. unitedwayswva.charityproud.org/Donate/MiniCam…

AMAZING talk by @ccstorytime to a packed house at #ORS2024!! Awesome to learn about TENDOTIME- can't wait to hear results! #teamtendon @ors_tendon

Heading to the airport for #ORS2024! Excited to see everyone and hear about all the cool science people have been up to! Also excited to share #HITSteamtendon work! Thanks to @easa_me for the graphic 😎

Teamed up with @LoiselleLab for surgeries today for the first time ever (?!) and set a new speed run record of 16MPH (mice per hour)- pretty good for a day's work 😂 #teamtendon #stillgotit 💪💪

Here's a "fun" fact- in the 5 years since I joined the CMSR, I have bred approximately 140lbs of mice. 🐭 Anyone wanna guess how many mice that is? 😂

🚨 Tendon/Ligament research community! We're gathering data on use of transcriptomic data to inform upcoming mtgs and to jumpstart community discussion! Even if you don't generate data yourself, please take this short survey- everyone's input is important! forms.gle/EDh9DBACUqRiVB…

Great NIRA talk by @JasonCMarvin to a packed house!! Congrats Jason- have loved watching this project come together over the years! #teamtendon

Ever wonder what kind of cells are in mature human scar? So did we! Come find me during this morning's poster session (Poster 728) to find out how we used scRNA-seq to explore!! #teamtendon #ORS2023

Excited to share our newest @biorxivpreprint! "Epitenon-derived cells comprise a distinct progenitor population that contributes to both tendon fibrosis and regeneration following acute injury" @LoiselleLab @ROC_CMSR #teamtendon A very quick 🧵: tinyurl.com/2p8h3e93

Just some @LoiselleLab lab mice showing up for work 🐁🐁🐁👻#teamtendon #spooky

14-years-ago-me being so excited about a confocal image of an adipocyte that I posted it on facebook = adorable 😂😂

Thanks Hani! 🤩

Here it is, straight from the man himself!!!🙌🙌🙌 Great story that shows how dogma gets established and how hard it is to overturn. Also now I have a citation to support why I will never doing a trilineage assay. loom.ly/2c-e_-E
