I received this reply from @davemccormick.bsky.social re: #NIH indirects. I am still waiting to hear from @fetterman.senate.gov. #NIH funding is a key economic driver and is responsible for the cures & miracles I see in my clinic every day. Contact your reps at @5calls.org #DermSky #SciSky #MedSky

Some amazing new data presented at #AAD2025. A new #Tyk2 hits #PASI100 in 50% of patients, #Deucravacitinib offers new hope for patients with #lupus and astounding safety and efficacy of #Icotrokinra for #psoriasis. Details at: www.healio.com/news/dermato... #DermSky #RheumSky

I was asked by USA Today about #RedLight therapy for skin disease. My conclusion: It generally should be safe but people should use therapies proven effective first & talk with their #dermatologist if they are not achieving a satisfactory response. #DermSky www.usatoday.com/story/money/...
