It was great working with @seanmwu.bsky.social and @aliraissadati.bsky.social on this seminal work investigating the proof of concept use cell free mRNA biomarkers in ici myocarditis, a technology that can be expanded to other CV diseases! @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social @scvi-mavens.bsky.social

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have transformed cancer therapy, but adverse events such as myocarditis remain hard to diagnose. @aliraissadati.bsky.social @seanmwu.bsky.social & team offer a noninvasive, early-detection tool for ICI-induced myocarditis—plasma cf-mRNA profiling: buff.ly/fVioq2o

ICYMI: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have transformed cancer therapy, but adverse events such as myocarditis remain hard to diagnose. @aliraissadati.bsky.social @seanmwu.bsky.social & team offer a noninvasive, early-detection tool for ICI-induced myocarditis—plasma cf-mRNA profiling: buff.ly/d7GpTU0

Thrilled to share our work in @jclinical-invest.bsky.social demonstrating the potential of cell free mRNA as a liquid biopsy of myocardial inflammation! Many thanks to my fantastic coauthors and especially my mentor @seanmwu.bsky.social for their unwavering support! www.jci.org/articles/vie...

Catching up with @seanmwu.bsky.social lab alumni including @hanzhumd.bsky.social and Soah Lee at #BCVS2025! Reuniting with old friends is the best part of scientific meetings, other than the science of course! 🔬

Congratulations!!!

A short Bluetorial about my early days as the Director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) at NIH. The importance of feeling responsibility and taking pride in doing the best job you can

Warning-some of you might find it triggering to read the flagrant violation of 1st amendment rights by the government against Harvard. The lawsuit from Harvard today provides a detailed account of what has transpired in the past two months. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I'm a current Harvard graduate student and I found out today that I had my NSF GRFP terminated without notification. I was awarded this individual research fellowship before even choosing Harvard as my graduate school

Great to see you Jon in Dallas earlier this week! Look forward to catch up again in-person at the BCVS meeting in Baltimore later this July. 👍🙏

Sign up now if you are in Chicago or surrounding states. Registration $40 for trainees and $75 for faculty. Great presentations. Good networking opportunities.

Our so called Secretary of Education now writes official letters like Trump writes posts on X and Truth Social. This is the education level we’ll be having across the country once the administration guts all funding for science 2 universities & student support. 🤬🤬🤬

The current administration’s narrative that Harvard (and all universities) feel “entitled” to federal dollars misleads the public. Nor are these funds a “privilege” 1/n

Great to see @harvard.edu take a stand on the unlawful infringement of the current government on academic freedom and freedom of speech. I’m proud to have trained as a fellow at Harvard Med/MGH & as an HMS Assist Prof previously. 👍👍👏👏💪💪 Now is the time for all other universities to do the same.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administration’s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think it’s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

Nice!! They need to add one in Boston also.

#SOUL trial presented at #ACC25. Oral #semaglutide reduced 3-pt major adverse cardiovascular events by 14% in patients with T2D, even with high background SGLTi use. In exploratory analysis, oral sema also reduced major limb events. #CardioSky @accintouch.bsky.social

Did you know that the hippopotamus has a heart rate of 34 bpm & a QRS axis pointing 2 its neck? See-Cardiac conduction system & the electrocardiogram of the common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40153832/ Super interesting how different species adapt 2 size & function.

Thanks so much Peter, Han @hankim and the trainees Aidan, Termeh for the great hospitality. It was wonderful to see you all at UOHI.

Two of the most decorated U.S. military units get scrubbed from Army website.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

BCVS is a career-essential meeting to connect with colleagues and mentors at special events like the Women in Science Breakfast. Join us in Baltimore for #BCVS25 and stay on the cutting edge.

Fighting cancer shouldn't cause heart damage. Research from @hanzhumd.bsky.social and other @stanfordcvi.bsky.social in an important manuscript in #CardioOncology: tinyurl.com/heartprotect... @seanmwu.bsky.social @stanforddeptmed.bsky.social ptMed.bsky.social @amandachase.bsky.social

Wife was a probationary employee let go over the weekend. She was a researcher with CMMI. If anyone has leads on jobs for a PhD social science researcher with an expertise in Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance, please let me know!

🤬🤬🤬 This is war on science! We need 2 fight with everything we have 2 stop this madness.

🗣️ Attention Trainees 🗣️ This week the AHA BCVS Early Committee will host a panel with several successful academic scientists to discuss strategies on how to write a competitive mentored or transitional grant. Register now! @ahascience.bsky.social

Great to see this! My daughter did it a few years back and had a wonderful time raising funds for CV research and learning about heart health.

Are You Red-y? This Friday, Feb. 7, 2025, is National Wear Red Day. Wear Red and Save Lives! Join me as I wear red and help raise awareness of women’s No. 1 killer – cardiovascular disease. @ahascience.bsky.social @americanheart.bsky.social @stanfordcvi.bsky.social

That is quite a feast Helen! Hope you have people there to help you eat them.

@a-p-s-a.bsky.social Welcome 2 @bsky.app!! You’ll find interesting conversations 4 physician scientist trainees here. Follow @joyywu.bsky.social @chadweldy.bsky.social @shoaclarke.bsky.social @stanfordcvi.bsky.social @stanforddeptmed.bsky.social @roxanadaneshjou.bsky.social @euanashley.bsky.social

Nice! Thanks Anastasia.🙏 those cookies look tasty!😋

We've been hearing a lot about "bluer skies" from our community... so we decided to come join the fun! Hello to our old & new fellow science-loving friends ☺️

Osteoporosis is vastly undertreated. Would welcome cardiologists to join in the management! 🫀🦴 @drmarthagulati.bsky.social

@joyywu.bsky.social mwhahaaa…invasion of the cardiologist

The division chiefs were a festive bunch at the @stanforddeptmed.bsky.social holiday party. Love that @euanashley.bsky.social joined us on the dance floor! 🪩

Watching Die Hard after having attended 5 holiday parties in 8 days - I’m glad that none of them were in the Nakatomi Plaza. @stanfordcvi.bsky.social @stanforddeptmed.bsky.social @joyywu.bsky.social

Just don’t rain fish🐟🐟🐟 from the sky. Quite messy to clean up.

Scored another great white elephant gift at this year’s @joyywu.bsky.social and @seanmwu.bsky.social labs holiday party: glow-in-the-dark bone socks! 😍🎄🎁

As the internet’s current 4th most famous ophthalmologist, behind sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Rand Paul, and Bashar Al-Assad, I’d like to request an updated ranking please.

Since I joined 🦋 a month ago, ~10M people have joined. We had only 1 cardiology journal & no societies. Now we have almost all cardiology societies & major journals (except for ESC/EHJ) + many new #CardioSky users. We are definitely rebuilding our #CardioTwitter community. Be patient & contribute :)

Assuming the one being nominated for surgeon general can get approved. But yes, it was a relief that he was not the one being named.

Vinay is a danger to our health care system. ☠️☠️☠️
