Minneapolis- yet another reason to love you #caturday www.minneapolisparks.org/wp-content/u...

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.

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"

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

#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#ASH25#renal#PolycythemiaVera#thromboembolism#kidney#HemeSky #MedSky

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.

Another #caturday where Oscar has decided he is better at reviewing papers than I am. Big Boy is just annoyed.

Two of my favorite mentors- Dr Vercellotti and Dr Key at Blood Club at UMN

My scheduled appointment @memorialblood.bsky.social was late today because of so many walk ins. Minnesotans help each other! Happy to wait and to do my small part to help the injured.

JAK2V617F neutrophils evade homeostatic clearance and accumulate in MPN owing to JAK2-STAT5–dependent upregulation of CD24. buff.ly/eujxmx2 #hemesky

Excited to do this research!

Did my best to get everyone but alas- missing a few! Beckman lab (minus 4!) summer 2025

The airplane ears are because he really really liked this proposal- to sit on:) trying not to let my #caturday grant review helper influence my scores too much. Nice to have the company.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

Just saw the biosafety cabinet I did my PhD in being carted away down the street- it died and a replacement in en route—- odd returning back to the old lab to start my own- grateful that my “previously used” stuff is holding up

Congrats to Maya for her poster @isth.org

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

So a senior male scientist interrupted me during a lab meeting presentation to randomly ask if anyone wanted the possum he caught as a pet 😳🤷🏻‍♀️ — and that has been the highlight of all the chaos.

Similar reduction in VTE risk was observed in patients with T2DM regardless of obesity status. buff.ly/M7ZgMeB #hemesky #thrombosisandhemostasis

Your research could shape new care standards or challenge assumptions. Share it at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition! Abstract submissions are open for #ASH25. Present your work to thousands of #hematology professionals. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4mAXij3#ASH25.#hematology#HemeSky MedSky

www.kfyrtv.com/2025/05/22/g... This is not an Onion headline!?!? The new ND governor wanted to line item veto funds for Native American homeless (evil I know)- but “accidentally” vetoed housing funds- so is now going to call back a special session at $65,000 a day to make up for his “whoopsie”😳

Black women are more likely to experience heavy menstrual bleeding but often have their symptoms dismissed by clinicians. This dismissal leads to: ❌ Undiagnosed #irondeficiency ❌ Delayed treatment ❌ Poor health outcomes Learn more: https://bit.ly/4c901LU#irondeficiency #HemeSky #WomensHealth

PSA: You can have iron deficiency without anemia and it still matters and can cause serious symptoms and absolutely warrants treatment.

Research shows ferritin <30 µg/L indicates iron deficiency, but some labs still use a cutoff as low as 8 µg/L. This means thousands of people are told their iron levels are “normal” when they are deficient. Better screening is needed. Read the full article: https://bit.ly/4c901LU
