Mary M. Stangis, MS @mmstangis.bsky.social · 26/05/2025That's about what I would have expected, thank you! Looking forward to reading the other questions! 000
Mary M. Stangis, MS @mmstangis.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Well, since you said anything... Is the creation of a spray shark-repellant, as seen in Batman the Movie (1966), scientifically possible? In all seriousness, are there any odors that sharks will actively avoid? Would be interesting if they've adapted to avoid oil, for example. Thanks! 100

Mary M. Stangis, MS @mmstangis.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Let me be very clear - transparent and rigorous science is not possible under the current administration. Part of the "gold standard" of health research is including a diverse study population - biology is not "one size fits all"! 000

Mary M. Stangis, MS @mmstangis.bsky.social · 22/03/2025We'd love to hear from you!!! One of my reasons? Science helps me balance my brain chemistry so I can study how colon cancer interacts with neighboring healthy tissue, and figure out better ways to kill the cancer without hurting the patient! #storeboughtserotonin #mentalhealthmatters #CRCresearch 010
Mary M. Stangis, MS @mmstangis.bsky.social · 20/03/2025This is what we mean when we say cutting NIH funding will cost lives. Cancer patients and their families are having the rug pulled from under them. 000
