It is important for all myeloma clinicians to know about the CAR-T toxicities that occur outside of the acute post CAR-T period, such as non-ICANS neurotoxicities, second primary malignancies, and IEC-enterocolitis. ---Benjamin Puliafito, MD #IMS25

On what the future looks like unless folks make some noise! We need everyone calling their reps! At a payline of 10%, that means 1 in 10 apps gets funding. We will be looking at 1 in 20 to 1 in 100.

To Those Who Call Themselves Christian
But Justify the Order of the World

My god you think
that's what love is?
Go
to your little, bitter meetings,
your callous rallies,
your fear that steals your souls.

You think you can choose who is beautiful?
Your country is open 
to the chosenβ€”
while somewhere, in the shadows
of your houses,
the one you believe
you are hearing
is hanging 
in a crown of thorns, in agony,
burning the world with mercy,
his arms in an embrace he cannot close.

β€”Joseph Fasano

Weather and climate data shown on this website and countless others are at risk.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the U.S. agency responsible for global weather forecasting, hurricane prediction, ocean observation, and many other services vital to public safety. Its satellites, supercomputers, and research teams provide essential data that help us understand our planet and protect lives.
On February 27, the new U.S. administration initiated mass firings at NOAA. These actions are unethical and deeply disruptive to the talented scientists and engineers who dedicate themselves to the public good. The firings, along with expected budget cuts, have serious implications for the availability and quality of weather forecasts produced by the United States. They must be reversed immediately.
Much of the data on this website is downloaded directly from NOAA's servers. In this environment of uncertainty, access could be disrupted at any time. While I'll strive to keep all features on this website functional and switch to alternative data sources if necessary, some datasets have no substitute if they go offline.
If this concerns you, speak up. Share on social media. And if you're in the U.S., contact your representatives.

If you’re a Dem elected and you’re not mentioning the massive cuts to cancer cure and social security funding in every public appearance you’re just not doing your job.

That feeling of being bullied, talked over, cut off, made to feel like you aren't grateful enough...felt uncomfortably familiar.

I'm assuming others also had a visceral reaction to that "conversation" becase on their own personal experiences with situations like this.

Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea
