YouTube video by American Medical Association (AMA) Long COVID 2025: Symptoms, diagnosis, post-COVID treatments and the latest long COVID research

Such an informative #LongCOVID ‘Questions and Answers’ presentation by Prof. Akiko Iwasaki, @virusesimmunity.bsky.social
It’s so important to recognise the airborne nature of this dreadful disease and its implications, for us all, particularly those most vulnerable.

Next week, we are hosting an international scientific workshop focused on the pathogenesis of #LongCovid at
@yalemed.bsky.social.

Please join us on May 15th to learn about what we know and what we need to investigate next to get to the root causes to accelerate therapies 👇🏼👇🏼

Headshots of the five physicians we are highlighting for World Lupus Day. Anne Troldborg, MD, PhD, Elizabeth Jury, PhD, Inés Pineda-Torra, PhD, Akiko Iwasaki, PhD and Ruth McPherson, MD, PhD, FRCPC.

💜 On #WorldLupusDay, let’s raise awareness: Women aged 35-44 with lupus are 50x more likely to have a heart attack than those without.

Shout-out to the women advancing research on lupus & heart health: 👇

Thank you, Daniel! It was great to meet you and share lunch with you and other trainees at the Crick.

really amazing and inspiring Crick lecture @crick.ac.uk today by Akiko Iwasaki @virusesimmunity.bsky.social. Long COVID/PASC and similar diseases are affecting so many lives. Their contribution to an improved understanding and possible treatment/prevention strategies truly is impressive.

I am so sorry, Andy...

@virusesimmunity.bsky.social, who studies long COVID and other post-viral conditions, says, “If we don’t figure this out now with this pandemic, I’m afraid we will be much less prepared for future pandemics.”

These terminations have already hit @mclellanlab.bsky.social. More will come.
