Congrats out to Tyler for his IDI in Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine PDF award. Well don Tyler!

Stem cell therapy helps hearts recover from a heart attack, although not for the biological reasons originally proposed two decades ago, according to a Nature paper. The paper shows an entirely different way that heart stem cells help the injured heart. $ go.nature.com/2r8ScUh

Congrats to Justin Trac who had an amazing performance on his MSC thesis exam today!

Yummy!!!!

Fantastic news at the Hess Lab! We just found out our beta cell regeneration grant was funded for 5 years at the Canadian Intitutes of Health Research. Congratulations to the entire team involved!

Congratulations to you too Cheryle. I heard yours was successful as well.

I agree!!! I had to write 2 letters this week for students who already have graduate school positions but the program will not officially accept them until their letters are in? Silly!!!

It grows in the cracks!!! I think I will put in a flagstone patio!!! Lots of cracks.

Quote of the day from a cardiologist in COVID-19 ravaged Miami. “Going our without a mask right now is like driving drunk. If you don’t get hurt, you may kill someone else”.

"Great again."

BREAKING: Masks will be mandatory in all indoor public places across London starting Saturday tinyurl.com/y3gxsw8p #ldnont

Such sad news. The brightest lights burn quickest.

I think we have learned by now that if we take what Donald Trump says, reverse to the opposite, then we have found the truth. For example he self-proclaimed he is an “extremely stable genius”. Reverse to “modestly unstable moron”. Yes,that seems about right!

I wanted to congratulate Brianna Ananthan on the successful defence of her MSc thesis. Well don Brianna and I look forward to finishing the lineage tracing studies she initiated that were unceremoniously interrupted by the COVID19 pandemic.
