Where to next?

Less than one month 'til #USCAP2025 - time for a roll call of #PathSky folks from across the globe: who will be in Boston in March?

#PathSky 37M with a large retroperitoneal mass. Big, fatty thing. The outside quite rightly worried about well-differentiated LPS and a lipomatous angiomyolipoma, but MDM2, SMA and melanocytic markers were negative. Some WDL are MDM2-neg/MDM4-pos. Should we do more molecular ? Or something else?

When undertaking a new project or initiative, there are 3 types of elements to be considered:

1. must have = requirements
2. great to have
3. nice, but not necessary to have

Important to clarify from the get-go which mix of elements will result in success

@mcuban.bsky.social please see thread below 👇🏻for important message from Pediatric Pulmonologist @robyncohenmd.bsky.social regarding inhalers for #asthma patients and their (lack of) affordability

In professional life when one fails/something doesn’t go as planned, or one is not selected for a role or promotion, this termed a “SET-BACK”

Re-frame: SET-FORWARD = situation that requires reflection & action towards a go forward plan

Failure is 🚫 failure unless it is a failure to learn

It’s the first full work week of 2025 - what strategies are you employing this year?

For me, it is more active / intentional choosing of what to work on, coupled with when/where to accomplish that work

#MedSky #PathSky

In 2024, I experimented with a “Done List” - deciding daily/weekly what to keep ON my calendar 🗓️ = a record of personal / professional events and accomplishments to reflect upon and appreciate - the results were energizing!!

What methods do you use to track your progress?

Thanks so much for sharing this reflection, Dan! Highlights the variety within the "professional development" experience...

Starting the new 2025 calendar year with a question for #MedSky folks:

What is the best professional development activity you have experienced?
Why did it speak to you?

@erikbryn.bsky.social how much of this is attributable to COVID era changes (no work, WFH, reconsideration of work) now maturing?

Healthcare Workers Compete on Social Media to Raise Money to Fight Hunger This year's campaign helped contribute to a 5-year total over $3 million

Healthcare workers have been taking part in @hcwvshunger.bsky.social, a physician-founded social media competition to raise funds for food banks and other organizations.

#HCWvsHunger was started in December 2020 by @tmprowell.bsky.social & Angela Weyand, MD.

Foreskin in a male in his 70s. Deep inflammation with many plasma cells. Never forget syphilis at any age! Nicely demonstrated on immunochemistry ( Indint miss Warthin-Starry!)

I’m excited to have been part of a productive meeting on the state and future of the #USCAP journals. Mod Path and Lab Invest are in capable hands and well positioned to bring important discoveries to pathologists and researchers.

a man in a suit says " absolutely brilliant " Alt: Simon Cowell says " absolutely brilliant "

our fearless founders, @shematologist.bsky.social and @tmprowell.bsky.social as well as the amazing behind-the-scenes Tech Team. That website is a work of genius and, without its ease of use this competition would NOT be what it is.

Thank you to this amazing community who brought the JOY...2/

PRKAR1A

#PathSky 34M with a jet-black mass next to the seminal vesicle. Melanoma? A very occasional psammoma body was present, and expression of PRKAR1A was completely lost. Malignant melanotic nerve sheath tumor (previously “melanotic schwannoma”) in an unusual location.
