Congrats to Dr. @ArinOestreich for her new NIH-funded project studying osteogenesis imperfecta!

Once again my team “Science Saves Lives” is fundraising for the @GallatinNF Avalanche Center. GNFAC places and monitors sensors and other weather data to provide avalanche forecasts for southwest MT. If you ski @BridgerBowl or @bigskyresort , you are safer because of them.
