Final day of the 2023 @ARDD_Meeting is on. Time to say thanks 🙏 for a fantastic meeting and for giving me the chance to present a snapshot of our work in SkM 💪 - "Why fast glycolytic muscle decline first during aging". Spoiler 🚨: It's all about metabolism 😉 @Metabolcenter

It's already amazing to join @broadinstitute as a visiting scientist, but even better sharing this experience with my family 👪 @Momademia #womeninscience
Fortunate to spend my paternity leave in Cambridge, MA (now until Independanc Day). If you’re in the Boston area and want to catch up ☕️, talk science 🧪 and/or have recommendations on fun things to do with an 8mo old, I’m all ears! 😆

Start your day off right - delicious brunch with amazing colleagues ☕
Lab brunch - missing the main man @MatthewGillum6 but he's sunning it up in Lisbon so he's probably having more fun!
