Yesterday watching Guillermo del Toro's new Frankenstein movie I learnt about another novel and unexpected functional role of lymphatics: immortality! The field keeps getting more exciting and interesting every day.

The federal government froze the university’s research funding. It hasn’t offered the school a way to get it back.

Great to see and listen great talks from former postdocs Sathish Srinivasan, Xiaolei Liu, Noelia Escobedo, Ying Yang and Josh Scallan at the Chicago Lymphatic Forum. Really needed spark in the middle of this dark time and so many uncertainties about the future of research in US.

I am out of X but this time we need to use each available communication spot to Stand UP for Science. Despite the weather the Chicago scientific community (including prospective young PhD students) gathered today to show that science is for everyone.

As I indicated before, Oliver lab moved to https://t.co/NXCfL3qan1 and I already posted this link in that account, but because of its importance for all of us working in lymphatics and those suffering from lymphatic malfunction-promoted diseases I am also posting the link here

Great science at the meeting of the Latin American Society of Developmental Biology in Chile and fantastic to get to get together with my mentor, great friend and well deserved awardee of the Life Achievement Award Eddy De Robertis (still using the same 40 years old sweater).

For those interested in a general overview of lymphatics, particularly on disease conditions, I am posting this YouTube podcast interview that I made a year ago. https://t.co/JNagvaXFY4
