Great place to do science! Endorsed by the VMMPC. https://t.co/b7Z8jNAAtX
Attendees are mesmerized by @vumcdiabetes seminar delivered by the dynamic @EMatthewMorris2 of @KUDiabetesInst. https://t.co/hqBcLr5Xrk
This should help with definitions and characterization of mouse models. https://t.co/hfFqhy53Go
Excited to have @sarah_stern of Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience speak at Vanderbilt. Great stuff. Electric! @VCARScience @VUBasicSciences https://t.co/AmCIP7aoqW
