The Griffin List A list of 60,273 North Carolina voters – these are registered voters who showed ID to early vote in the November 2024 election – whose votes Jefferson Griffin wants to not be counted. ...

If you voted for Allison Riggs in the 2024 NC election check here to see if your ballot is being challenged. If so, then you have 15 business days from whenever they mail the notices to cure your ballot, but best to check now & cure yours as soon as possible, even if this ruling might get overturned

Postpartum hemorrhage is a significant risk for many women yet the etiology is not well understood. New study from Claire de Moreuil shows that plasma from PPH have a different fibrin network than controls.

I always hated the "this is the greatest country in the world" refrain, but it is striking to me that the things they are killing in government — an unrivaled scientific research enterprise, incredible public lands, etc — are some of the only things that made such a statement vaguely defensible.

Publish your negative data. And journals and reviewers should be open to publishing high quality negative data!

Validate your antibodies, think about how you will validate new tech, contact labs to get the real protocols & behind the scenes info to help your #science

Long line of people at the mic to ask @kmachlus.bsky.social @frederikdenorme.bsky.social and N Mackman about the importance of rigor and reproducibility. Great session!

Clinical challenges and complicated research expts keep us up at night. Final session at #HTRS2025 to come together and discuss best practices and solutions. 🌴🩸#clinical care #science

#HTRS2025 Oral Abstract Presentations - this is where “you heard it here first”! #science #sciencesaveslives

Happy Pi Day! Celebrate by attending a networking session at #HTRS2025!!!

Yaqiu Sang from the @aswolberg.bsky.social lab confirms that tranexamic acid is not associated with increased thrombosis risk in experimental models of VTE. #HTRS2025

#AI seemed to arrive fast and furious, but is it really new? #HTRS2025 Plenary “AI in Science and Medicine” next. Hype or hope? How will it shape the future of hemostasis and thrombosis?

Inspiring #HTRS2025 plenary hearing from patients on their experiences living with blood clotting disorders. Reflecting on the progress and how much more there is still to do. #research #researchsaveslives 🩸

Fantastic talk from @sparkenbaughlab.bsky.social on the effects of sickle cell disease (#SCD) on women’s health, including the entire reproductive cycle. Profoundly negative impact that needs more research! #HTRS2025 @unc-brc.bsky.social 🩸

Standing room only to learn about biochemistry and its regulation in #hemostasis and #thrombosis. Srsly! Biochemistry! Basic science translates to new treatments and better health. #research #HTRS2025

Something for everyone at #HTRS2025. Now up, back-2-back sessions: “Advancements in Hemostasis & Thrombosis: from biochem to clinical practice” 🌴🩸

Starting strong at #HTRS2025 with a focus on gene therapy

Gene therapy was a future dream when I got my first lab position in 1990. 35 yrs later & we’ve opened #HTRS2025 with Plenary “The Arrival of Gene Therapy” #sciencesaveslives

Excited to get #HTRS2025 underway. It’s already been great to see old and new colleagues and friends and talk #science! 🌴🩸

Thank you @ash.hematology.org for doing the good work! 🧪 🩸 #research #science

NIH funding freeze stalls applications on $1.5 billion in medical research funds The National Institutes of Health had to stop considering new grant applications, delaying funding for research into diseases ranging from heart disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and allergies.

How about some inspiring weekend listening to the @isth.org Pulse Podcast?
Enjoy the latest episode w/guests @aswolberg.bsky.social and @kmachlus.bsky.social who discuss with host @gbarnesmd.bsky.social how to go from being a mentee to becoming a mentor and collaborator.

Putting effort in many places recently: #science, writing letters… But some of the best stuff is good old fashioned #outreach. Local science fair judge, Skype-a-Scientist today. Inspiring the next gen of scientists is more important than ever. #future
