It drives me nuts when coaches, players, and fans (and even athletic directors) blame the referees for “stealing” or “blowing” a close game because of a “bad” call. Often it wasn't even a bad call. Looking at you @MarkHarlan_AD 😉

This is incredible news for patients with certain muscular dystrophies. I've felt for years that these are diseases we have the technology to treat. "All they need" is a good copy of a single gene delivered to affected muscles. This is huge. www-science-org.ezproxy.uky.…

Great work by Shade et al (FardoLab #UKSBCoA). Using neuropath (not clinical diagnosis), we discern which genetic risk factors drive specific neuropathologies. Also identified 4 new loci involved in disease (COL4A1,PIK3R5,LZTS1,APOC2) #Alzheimers #Dementia rdcu.be/dZ5bh

Today we spent all day at one residence with a couple in their 50s/60s. They live next to a creek that looks completely benign and blissful. They said flooding was 4ft above the bank of 400 yards. So. Much water. #Ashville #HurricaneHelena #HelpingHands

Since we’re ~4 weeks after, a lot of cleanup has already happened, but a lot of people still have an overwhelming amount of cleanup to do.

Arrived in #Ashville to help with #HurricaneHelena cleanup. Working on a “tree crew” to clear downed trees for folks that need help. I’ve documented some of my previous experiences helping with hurricane and flood cleanup. Will share a bit for anyone interested #HelpingHands
