@DMschools I will miss the midweek start at beginning of year….that’s going to be a long first week in August!

Planning ahead ... the School Board has approved the calendar for the 2024-25 school year at their meeting this evening.

@DrSalinasLab Miss you too!! Take care.

I am devastated I couldn't get on a plane to go to DC to attend the FIRST conference and #AAI2023. Unfortunately I don't feel well and had to make the call to stay at home and take care of myself. I will miss you all!

Dr. Jodi McGill from ⁦@IowaStateU⁩ talking methods to prevent #RSV in cattle to limit secondary bacterial infection at #CRWAD ⁦@theaavi1⁩ #veterinaryimmunology

Gave a talk at CRWAD 2023 on Alternatives to Antibiotics: neonatal immunomodulation to improve disease resistance in animals. Thanks for the great turnout! #crwad #crwad2023 - via #Whova event app #veterinaryimmunology ⁦@theaavi1⁩

SMI Member Loving’s recent publication on #scRNAseq of porcine small intestine sections describes an enteroendocrine (EE) cell population unique to pigs. Read more here: bit.ly/3ELOi7a

Pigs are promising biomedical models, but lymphocytes are poorly defined in pig intestine. We use scRNA-seq to find similar lymphocytes in pig/human ileum & discover porcine ileal ILCs for the first time. Check it out! @cloving27 @cktuggle @JulianTrachsel life-science-alliance.org/content/5/10/e…

Researchers @USDA_ARS and @IowaStateU identified innate lymphoid cells in pigs and pig lymphocytes with similarities to human cells via single-cell RNA sequencing of the pig intestine. A collaborative effort by @JayneWiarda @cktuggle @cloving27 & others! life-science-alliance.org/content/5/10/e…

@compvetimm @Pirbright_Inst @cvig Congrats and thanks to Elma! Welcome Wilhelm!

We want to say a massive Thank You & Goodbye to Prof. Elma Tchilian @Pirbright_Inst as she steps down as chair of @compvetimm. Elma was one of the leading forces behind @CVIG development and its current success!🥳 Thank You Elma💐! & welcome Dr Wilhelm Gerner as new chair

@EHSLadySoccer Sad I missed this! Girls soccer started at East when I was a junior, sad I didn’t get to play more. That was quite a few years ago…maybe next year for some alumni!

This Saturday!!! The start of a new tradition! All current and former Lady Scarlet Soccer players welcome! 8:30 am at Williams Stadium!

@usacupsoccer For how long? Any indication when they resume?

Sunday, July 10, 1:55 p.m. Games have been suspended due to weather in the area.

@TheTattooedProf Congrats!! Sad to lose you from DSM!!

Beautiful week to support your park.

Most populated #dsm @DesMoinesGov today! #lauridsen giving kids their space. Love it here. #skateboard

@AdrianCJax There are more pigs than people in the state of Iowa, so bacon and pork chops?

@CovingtonEDU My assumption is private schools and charter schools would be exempt from the legislation? One more blow specifically to public schools?

@TheTattooedProf The institution may not, but this city and your Twitter peeps love you back. Don’t let the bastards bring you down.

Can we just make some office space into housing? Why do humans leave a space empty to occupy another when many go without either. We have a lack if housing, market and affordable. While folks work effectively from home let’s renovate cubicle land into housing!

@naomicfisher @threadreaderapp unroll please. Thank you for this, from a parent. I feel stuck without knowledge or guidance. School seems harder these days, for social dynamics not academics, and I see it in my kids but feel lost. #publicschools underfunded, lack resources…

School refusal is not a happy place to be. We don't have to make it harder by making our children feel even worse about their experiences. Force, by whatever guise, is not the answer. 15/

I work with children who are unhappy at school. One family told me what a therapist told them to do with their school-refusing 5-year-old. 'Put on his uniform', he said, 'and don't let him do things he likes until 3pm. Don't interact'. Here's why that is a misguided idea. 1/

@TheTattooedProf @ifthisistheend Random question, but any tattoos from his navy days? My grandfather had one on his arm that took us quite some time to piece together the symbols given age…he too was navy in pacific.
