💙 World Diabetes Day — November 14 💙

Today we pause to recognize the millions of people living with diabetes and the importance of ensuring access to integrated care, supportive environments, and policies that promote health.

This year’s theme, “Diabetes Across Life Stages,” reminds us that diabetes affects individuals and families at every age, and that awareness, education, and support truly matter. 🌍✨

💀🌼 Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead) was celebrated yesterday!✨

This beautiful Mexican tradition honors and remembers loved ones who have passed away — not with sadness, but with color, music, and delicious food. 💕

Families create ofrendas (altars) decorated with photos, candles, marigolds, and favorite foods of those being remembered. 🌺 Traditional dishes include pan de mu**to, tamales, atole, and sugar skulls 🍞🍬🌽

A reminder that food connects us not only to health, but also to culture and memory. 🕯️💛

Part 2 of our Genetics Halloween fun! 🎃🧬

Here’s the whole group showing off their science-inspired costumes — from calcium absorption and gene regulation to western blots and uncoupler proteins.

So much creativity in one photo.

Big thanks to Dr. Lane for keeping this awesome Halloween tradition alive in her Genetics class! 🌟

Our Genetics students got creative this Halloween! 🎃🧬

From calcium absorption and gene expression to electron transport and western blots — these costumes are packed with science!

✨ Francesca is a trapped glucose-6-phosphate molecule (inmate style)
🕵️‍♀️ Syah is detective “Cal Bindin”
🌞 Mia, Natalia, and Maha represent the sun, TRPV6, and Calbindin — the calcium absorption squad
⭐ Bella (as Patrick Star) joins in on the calcium story too
💉 Michaella, in nurse scrubs, is the hormone PTH checking calcium levels
🔥 Maria (in red) is an uncoupling protein (UCP)
🐭 Savannah shows a wild type and a mutated allele
🧡 Liz is ATRA, a vitamin A metabolite activating gene expression
🤠 And our cowboy? A western blot, of course!

Swipe to the last photo to see Dr. Lane in her amazing costume! 🌟
