Fewer patients. More questions. For #MPNs, gaps in data mean delayed answers and care.
This #RareDiseaseMonth, help move science forward.

@ndsu-biosci.bsky.social alum— was in the band for college— the loss of the rivalries alone would be bad—- Bison fans live to hold a grudge/dislike of UND and USD and SDSU. It is what makes college football fun. Moving up would kill that.
Submitted the grant- future reviewers please hold in your minds that this work was put together while our city is under siege, our neighbors are being kidnapped, and our kids are being terrorized. Our hearts are heavy. I am proud of the amazing science my team put together despite these odds.

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.
people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Minnesota is amazing because of its people.Let’s take care of them.
At this point even silently video taping the goons is not safe…..so trying to find small acts of defiance and all my compassion to keep moving forward.
Going between rage, sadness, fear, anxiety, heartbreak, and hope every 20 min here.
right there with you

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"
Appreciate it.
Ditto- but until my city is not under a hostile federal take-over? Having to check multiple chats for 🧊watch and check in on employees, students, patient and family multiple times a day…..
Congrats- need some light-things are NOT ok- hour long faculty meeting about ICE terrorizing our patients and our peers with legal and our security/police last night and ALL of us now carrying our passports and telling loved ones our travel plans. I fear for my lab members coming to and from work.
We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.
When a physician and EMS are PREVENTED from rendering first aid- yes
#ASH2025 is a wrap for me as we head back to snowy MN for some snow. Exciting to see old and new friends, talk science, and have some fun
#ASH25 Based on findings from the largest prospective analysis of #renal impairment in patients with #PolycythemiaVera (PV), a history of #thromboembolism, high-risk PV, and elevated LDH were found to be associated with rapid decline in #kidney function: https://ow.ly/AmqA50XExMH

American kennel club is right after ASH- soo cute
So proud of my trainees in #SCD and #MPNSM (missing pic of @ash.hematology.org HIP mentee) presenting their hard work at #ASH2025
Well- almost became an office causality today.
Our snowblower is in the shop so we did our driveway by hand. My watch recorded 55 min of activity and I walked 1.8 miles. I was sweating through my layers. #mn winter is here!
Every dollar counts when it comes to feeding people!
Even $5 can go along way especially with organizations @feedthechildrenorg.bsky.social having 8x matching.
We can all make a difference.
As I was sending my give to the max food donation was thinking about you;)
