It turns out my doctor (hired by Kaiser) ordered a BASIC metabolic panel instead of a COMPREHENSIVE metabolic panel, and this was a mistake! The COMPREHENSIVE metabolic panel (which includes the tests within the basic metabolic panel) counts as preventive care but the BASIC metabolic panel is not!
So I got a response to this after about a week, from someone who agreed that some of these things should have been billed as preventive care, and telling me that someone would review and I would get a refund in 3-5 days assuming they agreed.
I have not received a refund yet.
I have not received a refund yet.
Aw, American health insurance: that fun time of the year when once again, my insurer "accidentally" charges me for the one thing that my insurance is supposed to cover by law.

There's a software engineer in Hong Kong who makes incredibly detailed scientific diagrams for wikipedia, like this clickable metro-style map of metabolic pathways!!!

Happy day to all! One of my favorite visitors, the Pine Marten! I love their high energy level. They have a high metabolic rate, and semi- retractable claws. They are excellent swimmers, and are able to rotate their ankles 180 degrees!

Very proud of our first peer-reviewed paper from the lab: a review on the multifaceted role of RNA-binding proteins in the metabolic control of stem cells. Check it out! This is a truly amazing effort by my PhD student Ellie Koletsou @mpiage.bsky.social #proudPI
