Papers submitted on Tuesdays are more likely to be accepted by Nature whereas Wednesdays seem the most likely day to submit and secure acceptance to PLOS ONE. For Cell, Mondays and Tuesdays seem the best submission days in case of accepted papers. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Fascinating study on Anna’s hummingbird, one of the many beautiful birds I frequently see on the Stanford campus! 🐦 @stanforduniversity.bsky.social

Excited to kick off 2026 with a #Hematology seminar from Arun Wiita, MD, PhD on Jan 8th! Arun has pioneered proteomics to characterize aberrantly expressed cell surface proteins in #bloodcancers, to identify novel targets for #immunotherapy, looking forward to this! @stanforddeptmed.bsky.social

Coming next week on The Future of Medicine: Jennifer Doudna, a Nobel Prize–winning biochemist & the co-inventor of CRISPR gene editing! #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social#StanDOM& Doudna discuss scientific curiosity, responsible innovation, gene editing & more. https://bit.ly/43LGRZv

At a recent #MedicineGrandRounds, @childrensphila.bsky.social's Alexis Thompson discussed her groundbreaking research on #SickleCellDisease. Her clinical research was instrumental in the approval of the first gene therapies for sickle cell disease. 📸 by Clinton Louie

Today's the print release of a #RibackLab and #GoodellLab collaboration— we’re excited to share the visual story behind the science, including the dramatic artwork that inspired how we thought about aberrant function of NPM1c - which occurs in about 1 in 3 adult acute myeloid leukemias (#AML).

One of my favorite pics of the Myeloid Workshop at #ASH2025. Not at all challenging to find female speakers; thanks to ASH and the excellent section leaders for making this happen!

The gavel has officially passed at #ASH25. Thank you, Dr. Avalos, for your outstanding leadership. And welcome to Dr. Robert Negrin, whose dedication to mentorship, discovery, and advancing hematology will continue to strengthen the field.

There’s an art to writing a grant proposal so that your creativity is on full display. Maria Leptin - president of the ERC - talks about it on the new episode of the Night Science Podcast.

Such a great event! #ASH25

Lachelle Weeks, MD, PhD, shares findings that demonstrate sickle cell disease may predispose patients to high-risk clonal hematopoiesis. This multinational cohort defined CH prevalence, age distribution, and mutational profiles in SCD relative to non‐SCD controls and other hemoglobinopathies. #ASH25

EBV & Lupus — A Breakthrough Publication of 2025 Announced in Nov. 2025, a landmark Science Translational Medicine study from #StanDOM's William H. Robinson revealed how the common Epstein-Barr virus can infect & reprogram immune cells to trigger lupus. https://stanford.io/3LUx3Gg
