Congrats to the winners of TOPx @HHSGov!
It was an honor to participate!
I really thought our incredible team had an amazing submission (I might be a bit biased), but alas the judges seem to have felt differently...
We'll get 'em next time!

Sounds like the big prizes for TOPx will be announced tomorrow! Thank you all for your efforts!
Meanwhile, check out the newest video short from my awesome student Caleb explaining capillaroscopy with blood flow in 32 seconds!!! I'm so impressed @MIT_TRG

I hope it was a Happy Halloween and that you weren't out there TICK or TREATING! Do a tick check on yourself and the kids just in case!
Tis the season when I'm getting sent pics of embedded ticks with Q's of what to do. Pull it out fully and send for testing!

Did you walk through leaf piles and lawns last night trick or treating? Make sure you weren't TICK or TREATING! Do a quick tick check (you and the kids)! Tis the season when I'm getting sent pics of embedded ticks with Q's of what to do. Pull it out fully and send for testing!
