It’s Friday & I’m sporting my @uvmvermont.bsky.social green!

UVM researchers identify blood tests that could predict dementia risk Researchers at the University of Vermont have identified new blood tests that could help predict a person's risk for dementia long before they show any symptoms. These tests are not available for pati...

The blood tests measure tiny amounts of proteins that have leaked from damaged brain cells. These so-called "biomarkers" can show up years before people notice any memory problems.

Proud of Sarah Krumholz, med student in our lab, for winning the award for Outstanding Research Publication by a Medical Student!
Her mentor is my former mentee @tbplante.bsky.social, so that makes her my ‘granddaughter’?? 🤣

Improving stroke risk prediction in atrial fibrillation with circulating biomarkers: the CHA2DS2-VASc–Biomarkers model Anticoagulation reduces ischemic stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF) but increases bleeding. Existing risk calculators guiding anticoagulation decisions in AF have substantial limitations.

You did an amazing job with this research! You’re a current and future super⭐️!

I ♥️ our Farm Share from the @uvmvermont.bsky.social farm!

They have a farmer training program supporting a CSA

This week’s box is particularly wonderful - and no kale! 🥬

So healthy!
