Did you ever wonder why our marrow is located inside of our *bones*, #MedTwitter? There’s no a priori anatomical reason it should be sited there. Blood cells could form in our spleens & livers, as they do during our fetal lives; or elsewhere, as in some animals. Let’s discuss! /1

At our Department we have raised the temperature of all our ultra-low freezers from -80 to -70 degrees. This this relatively small change can reduce energy consumption by 30-40%, prolong the life of our freezers and is even about 20% cheaper to run. #ClimateAction Ina Woods
