Emree Franklin Has Had Adventure In Her Blood From The Minute She Came Into This World

Born to a pair of ornithologist parents who lived on a remote island in Washington state's Puget Sound, Emree Franklin has had adventure in her blood from the minute she came into this world! At a young age, Emree began writing and performing her own music and while music seems to be her primary passion, she definitely caught our attention when she turned to the world of acting around 2018! That was the year Emree had her big breakthrough with a featured role in the flick Last Seen in Idaho (2018), along with roles in several short films including Duffields (2018) and The Debt (2018)! The following year, Emree landed the female lead role in the series pilot Accountable (2019), though the series unfortunately didn't get picked up by any networks.

Using Indoor Air Filters Near Busy Highways Can Reduce Blood Pressure

The big idea For people living near busy highways, using air filters indoors results in short-term improvements to blood pressure, according to a new study I co-authored. Busy highways are large sources of air pollution. Larry D. Moore via Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA Next to busy highways and major roadways, there are high concentrations of air pollution – including exceptionally tiny, invisible and odorless ultrafine particles from burning fuel. My colleagues Neelakshi Hudda, Misha Eliasziw and I tested how using air filters indoors near a highway can reduce exposure to ultrafine and other particulate pollutants – and what effect that has on blood pressure. Our team tested 77 participants over three two-hour sessions in a room next to a busy highway. We manipulated the level of air pollu...

A new anti-platelet drug shows potential for treating blood vessel clots in heart attacks, strokes and, possibly, COVID-19

Clots obstruct blood vessels and can be deadly. They cause heart attack, stroke and are also a major problem in severe cases of COVID-19 patients. Treating clots with available drugs, however, can cause blood vessel leaking and bleeding, which can also be deadly in some circumstances. To address this problem, my colleagues and I have engineered a new anti-platelet drug designed to prevent vessel-blocking blood clots without causing bleeding. This drug shows promise in treating heart attack and may also be useful for other severe conditions caused by clots, such as stroke and COVID-19 patients with clots and blood vessel leaks. As a scientist studying the biology of blood cells and vessels, I am particularly interested in understanding how platelets – a kind of blood cells important in cl...
