Still unpacking my supersaturated brain after a fantastic #PACSRC FASEB protein aggregation conference. Thanks to all the speakers and attendees for making this so worth while! And BIG thanks again to our sponsors! #amyloid

Congrats to future Dr. MinLing Hu, research tech extraordinaire, for 2/2 acceptance to PhD programs. Some lab at @GSSIMR or @KUMedCenter is going to be very lucky when she joins!
