Thank you Justin! We're excited to start using it soon!! Here's a picture of the ARM sitting on a slightly cleaner cart 😂

Thanks to @justinburdge.bsky.social and @ishmailsaboor.bsky.social for delivering the ARM device to our lab, which includes Drs Kevin Tracey, Sangeeta Chavan, and Huan Yang. We'll use the ARM for high-resolution automated assessments of pain sensitivity in the context of neurogenic inflammation!

Excellent dissertation presentation from Elmezzi Graduate School PhD student and neurosurgeon Santhoshi Poonacha Palandira! She presented on efferent vagal nuclei and the celiac-superior mesenteric ganglion complex in the regulation of cytokines and inflammation. @northwellhealth.bsky.social

While the future of science is currently under threat, it’s still fun to show the next generation of curious-minded explorers cool things — like microscopes!
