Faculty are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD. I just remembered that when I was a kid, our window AC unit leaked onto our carpet and a giant mushroom appeared overnight. If you're 1st gen and you also had a mushroom in your living room I see you.

Today is #InternationalWomensDay, and that's an opportunity to highlight some of the many women I know who write about science, health and tech. This isn't an exhaustive list -- that would be really *really* long. It's just a bunch of folks who I'd like to highlight.

A new #JBMR study demonstrates that improving chaperone function reduced #ERstress and improved bone parameters in one mouse model of #OsteogenesisImperfecta, and suggests this strategy could be effective in patients with OI #ASBMR @dgsomucla @jenzieba

Thread: Thanks to @ECTS_science for inviting me to speak today on What is New in Basic Bone Biology Techniques at #ECTS2021. It is an overview of many interesting papers over the past 18 months, so to make it simple for listeners, here’s a thread of the papers I’ll discuss. 1/21
