Reminder for those attending the #ahaepi25 conference in New Orleans this week... check out #UVMLarnerMed Class of 2027 Jake Ayisi's poster at #EPILifestyle2025 on the #REGARDSStudy @americanheart.bsky.social @uvmvermont.bsky.social

Measuring Hemoglobin A1C with Frozen Packed Cell and Frozen Whole Blood Samples in an Epidemiologic Study: The Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Study In REGARDS participants without diabetes, HbA1c values from frozen whole blood and packed cell samples under long-term storage correlated in the expected manner with fasting glucose values and severa...

Check out our new manuscript led by @deborascience.bsky.social. We can reliably measure HbA1c in frozen whole blood samples stored for years!
Great for studies that have such samples. #REGARDSStudy

Dinner in the Windy City last night with the best friends / multi-PIs ever!
Celebrating Virginia Howard’s @ahascience.bsky.social Population Research Prize & the renewal of our #REGARDSStudy grant! Here to work with our home visit company to plan 20,000 home visits starting next spring!

Virginia getting her award

Warm congratulations to my friend & colleague Dr Virginia Howard for receiving the @AHAScience Population Research Prize today at #AHA24! A perfect choice for this recognition.
Sorry to not be there IRL, but I have spies! 📱 #REGARDSStudy
