Let’s double the @NIH budget! New treatments and cures for dread diseases! Let’s go! Who hates cancer? Who hates diabetes? Who hates strokes? I know I do and I bet you do too. Let’s make it a priority today and gift ourselves with better health tomorrow.

I got COVID19 a few weeks ago and based on the clinical trial data in support of metformin being able to lower the risk of long COVID, I decided to take a 2-week course. My COVID symptoms improved rapidly & 🤞 long COVID risk should be about 41% reduced… thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

Kind of a strange feeling testing positive for Covid and taking metformin (cost $0.67) based on the results of the covidout trial that our mathematical modeling helped launch.

A new U of M study found that metformin can decrease the amount of COVID-19 virus in the body and lower the chances of the virus coming back strongly after initial treatment.

I had a great time doing an escape room puzzle with my lab group today. Completed with 6 seconds to spare!
6 Apr 2024
Today, we had an amazing happy hour event at PuzzleWorks escape room. It was a blast, especially when we were able to solve the puzzle together in the very last minute.
We all hope that our academic challenges won't be as tricky as that puzzle :)
