Last week was a great week in the #RasheedLab!
Our editorial was published (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...), and with the support of amazing mentors, I was selected for the Biomedicines Young Investigator Award!! 🎉🥳🍾 #onacholesteroll
Thank you Ivan, much appreciated!!

Thanks so much!!
Incredibly proud of #RasheedLab member Rachel (and Nick - honorary member) for representing us in the @pacelineride PaceDay to raise funds for cancer research!!
Huge milestone for the #RasheedLab, celebrating our first publication! 🥳🎉
Check out our take on lipid metabolism as a driver of athero, with the latest clinical updates! 👇

First review from the lab accepted! Stay tuned, we can’t wait to share!!!
Proud to be part of this team, and being in Barcelona isn’t too bad either 😁😁
I love this. Inflammation is not an on and off switch, and thresholds exist for a reason!
So proud of the first #RasheedLab graduate and my fav (& only) Masters student Rachel!!
If only I could turn back time, Rachel’s current work would’ve saved us SO MUCH TIME when I was a postdoc 😞 but stay tuned to see all the cool things she’s done!! #onacholesteroll
For folks looking for faculty positions. There are three openings at the Dept of Pharm, Toxi and Neuroscience of LSUHS where I am moving to as the chair of the dept

So thrilled to host a great mentor and friend, the incomparable Nick Leeper here at @immunologyau.bsky.social @lynnhedrickau.bsky.social
Today I imaged a coomassie stained gel and analyzed single cell data.
My lab is torn between two centuries 😂
So thrilled to have @lab-williams.bsky.social visit the @ImmunologyAU for an amazing overview of Trem2 in atherosclerosis!

A pie graph worth keeping in mind as the NIH budget plummets jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... for 356 new FDA drugs approved
Congrats!
No way they published this with a straight face 🤣
Had a great time chatting with @lozanzi.bsky.social today about all things metabolism and immunity!
Why is the NIH investing $$ to study "transgender" mice🐭? 🤔 Let me explain 👇 🧵
TL;DR This has everything to do with your health and nothing to do with making people #transgender.
