The story of how the mRNA vaccine was made for SARS-CoV-2 is a triumph of modern science and genomics. To see this now tried-and-true technology applied to diseases that have evaded vaccines for so long is amazing. The lipid nanoparticle is a game-changer. #hunterbiochemistry

I've had so many #lightbulbmoment s in #hunterbiochemistry so far. Specifically that introns are not the useless bits of code I once thought. They could serve an important role in regulating the rate of transcription and translation.

This Krebs Cycle: interactive lyrics, diagrams, and flashcards really helped me solidify this knowledge that I'll definitely use all the time after I graduate. sciencemusicvideos.com/krebs-cycle-in… #hunterbiochemistry

Many of the processes we've discussed in Biochem are concepts I was introduced to during my initial paramedic training. However, with the benefit of basic sciences (like chemistry and biology) I now understand better how it all fits together. #hunterbiochemistry

I gave an EMS continuing education presentation for the NH Fire Academy. I also recorded some of the slides for the benefit of the internet. Feel free to point and laugh. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

We don't have a Paramedic shortage because of @CoAEMSP or National Registry of EMTs. We have a lack of desire on the part of Paramedics to work on ambulances, b/c it isn't typically an attractive environment. This is a leadership/workforce culture problem, not an accreditation or testing problem.

We keep having the same old debates in EMS which completely miss the point. To fix ourselves, we need to understand what it means to build a vibrant profession. Thanks to National Association of EMS Educators @medicmindset & Prodigy EMS for the platform to talk about this. medicmindset.com/2022/08/06/get…

The idea of NRP as techs & the idea of NRP as clinicians are not mutually exclusive. There is a need for both. Stop viewing NRP a one size fits all, & instead view it as the baseline credential for a diverse field- some roles in which do require degrees, and some which don't.
