"So the activated C1 cleaves C4 into C4a and C4b, which binds to the microbial surface. C4b then binds C2, which is cleaved by C1s into C2a and C2b, forming the C4b2b complex, also known as C3 convertase, which cleaves C3 into C3a and C3b."

Let us be clear: PrEP is essential to combating the transmission of HIV and keeping the public healthy. Today's ruling from Texas is an example of every person becoming a law unto themself in the name of religion but for the sole purpose of subordinating gay men and trans women.

Today CDC released data that 1 in 4 LGBTQ youth attempted suicide in the first half of 2021. When we discriminate against #LGBTQ ppl on topics like same-sex marriage, workplace discrimination, trans athletes, K-3 ed: queer teens are listening, internalizing, and suffering. – at Boston, MA

Finally got to see the clinical research I’ve been a part of for the last 8 months come to life today in the aerodigestive OR. It’s so refreshing to be back in a clinical environment after so long. 😭🫁

Not technically a year ago, but right at the beginning of the 2020 spring semester — we had no idea what kind of semester we were in for when this picture was taken, but I’m endlessly proud of my cohort and our resiliency. Miss these fools. 💕 – at Denver, CO

In anatomy we don’t say “I hate you” we say “that nerve you’ve been cleaning for 15 minutes is just fascia.”
