In a new study published in @CD_AACR, Mignon Loh, MD, and colleagues share promising results from a therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, an extremely rare and aggressive blood cancer typically diagnosed in infants and toddlers: aacr.org/about-the-aacr/news…

Friday afternoon grant writing (or paper writing) thought. A proposal I'm editing said something about, "In our preliminary work using [population]..."
Never "use" a population. These are people who choose to participate. Honor their humanity.

Today’s Supreme Court decision is welcome news, but the fight for reproductive rights is far from over. Someone else will file a lawsuit. Another state will pass legislation restricting women’s options. The only way to stop these attacks on women’s autonomy is to make sure that women have the political power to set their own agenda, instead of having their fundamental rights depend on someone else’s. We all have a role to play in this fight. Raise your voice. And vote in November. Your health and your future should be in your hands.

Just your regular reminder that almost 40% of 12-21 year old females in the US are iron deficient yet most aren’t aware because we don’t have universal screening.
And it’s likely even higher in adults.

Hey managers: to keep your people, let them work from home 2 days a week.
Landmark experiment (1600+ ppl, 2yrs): random assignment to hybrid work
-Increased satisfaction
-Reduced quitting by 33% (especially for women & long commuters)
-No costs for performance or promotion rates
This is a core memory - I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing!
On this day 11 years ago, #SCOTUS ruled against the patenting of #BRCA and other genes. This ruling paved the way for increased innovation and accessibility in #genetics. #genechat #precisionmedicine @EllenMatloff @ACLU

“Several (men) said that they actively didn’t respond to emails, or acted in an exaggerated disorganised manner. This meant they were assigned fewer tasks, but were also less frequently asked, and thus got away without doing service.”

Thank you Dr. Lal for the transparency around Hemoglobinopathy nomenclature @ASPHO_hq #ASPHO2024
I can’t tell you how many cases I see just based on the confusion between genetics folks who speak HGVS and hematology folks who speak “traditional” hemoglobin dialects #ASPHO2024 @ASPHO_hq
