Tatiana Schlossberg, daughter of Caroline Kennedy, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a rare aggressive mutation. Young and healthy, she faced chemotherapy, two bone marrow transplants, and experimental therapies, all while trying to stay present for her family. Heartbreaking.

May 25, 2024 – her daughter was born at 7:05 AM, ten minutes after she arrived at the hospital. A new life had come into the world, but hours later, her blood counts revealed something dangerous, what followed would change everything.

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

Tatiana Schlossberg, daughter of Caroline Kennedy, faces aggressive leukemia. Disease is democratic, it doesn’t respect status or family. Scientists, read it, feel it, and remember: every experiment you run affects real human lives.

As Ukraine marks Holodomor Remembrance Day, mourning millions of victims of Stalin's genocidal famine, it feels as though the Trump administration is happy to give Putin another chance to finish off what Stalin started. Europe should do everything in its power to help Ukraine & defeat Russia.

Berlin, 1997, artist Hans Hemmert held the “Same Height Party,” giving guests blue foam lifts so everyone stood at 2 meters. By equalizing height, the piece dissolved a subtle social barrier and let people meet on truly level ground.

“I let him run on, this papier--mâché Mephistopheles, and it seemed to me that if I tried I could poke my forefinger through him, and would find nothing inside but a little loose dirt, maybe.”

After weeks with no rivets, Marlow faces the “pilgrims” of the Eldorado Expedition—greedy, empty men with no vision or real work. His love of honest effort mirrors his search for truth and meaning in a world that calls itself civilized but feels hollow. #JosephConrad

Marlow reflects on how impossible it is for one person to truly share an experience with another. Ironically, he finds some comfort in the men on the Thames, even though they can’t see what he has seen. The novel highlights the loneliness of human understanding. #JosephConrad

Marlow calls the Brickmaker a “papier-mâché Mephistopheles,” a hollow devil. Though he hates lying, he pretends to have influence in Europe to get the rivets he needs to fix his steamer and reach Kurtz. His faith in Kurtz makes him break his own principles. #JosephConrad

Writing good jokes about German cities takes a lot of Erfurt.

I'm Kiel-ing over with laughter as I read these.

That sounds Köln-tastic to me.

Love it!!!

Goya at Bozar. As usual, a fine and eclectic exhibition.

Thank you, it means a lot. Revisiting it after decades offers new perspectives, and I’m pleased it resonated with you.

In Mexican literature, the Revolution shaped its own subgenre (the so-called “Novela de la Revolución Mexicana”). One of its last great entries is Ibargüengoitia’s Los relámpagos de agosto: a sharp, hilarious rereading that dismantles the heroic myth.

Putting our pieces together For more than half a century, Johns Hopkins has been a leader in converting federal support into tangible benefits for the American people—such as correcting maps of the human genome.

“I’m currently involved in a study where we’re using these technologies to study pancreatic cancers,” says @jhu-bdps.bsky.social @mikeschatz.bsky.social. We’re finding things that are only possible because of this new genome and these new technologies.”

It’s World Pancreatic Cancer Day! The Feigin Lab continues to be dedicated to eradicating this awful disease. #WPCD

Bravo, FeiginLab! Cancer research is humble work: each small insight becomes a lifeline, proving that patient inquiry can outshine even our toughest diseases.
