Stunning expose of gun lobby capture of Vic Labor. Must-read for anyone interested in #SpringSt, or guns in Aus generally In @thesaturdaypaper.com.au, feat research from @australiainstitute.org.au www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2026/06...

I post a couple of FISH photos and now I’m getting targeted ads for fluorescence microscopes 🤷🏼‍♀️ #PathSky

One of the many patterns of tubular atrophy in the kidney is the aptly named “thyroidization” pattern because of its resemblance to normal thyroid gland follicles.  #TeachingPoints #kidneypath #renal #pathology

Jerad Gardner a major draw card for IAP-AUS but wouldn’t it be great if he joined Bsky! #PathSky

#Macrophages have already been crowned as the best cell, and as amazing as they are, they only get better. Pigeon macrophages are literally magnetic, and enable the pigeon equivalent to GPS! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

MDM2 FISH, so amplified the cells look like opals. #PathSky

As a general rule, subcut administration of tablets is not an effective treatment for anything. #PathSky

This is obviously not fit for actual publication but I am (still, & hopefully eternally) amazed I can look down a microscope and see how many copies of a gene there are. #PathSky

A 60-year-old woman with follicular lymphoma was evaluated for swelling and proteinuria that had persisted for 2 weeks. The patient’s plasma was clear at 37°C but turbid at 4°C. A kidney biopsy was performed. Read the full case details: https://nej.md/4tDDm2e #Hematology #Nephrology

THERE'S ALREADY A SUMMARY. IT'S CALLED THE FECKING ABSTRACT. It's written by this really cool AI called brAIn, everyone gets that installed in the human starter pack, it's not DLC or nothing.

if haemorrhaging money doesn’t matter, I’d set up a gym for neurodiverse people no loud music, ban on people recording for social media, mood lighting, some nice house plants maybe

Scapula lesion #PathSky Somewhat ill defined, dense collagenous stroma with abnormal elastin fibres.

A conundrum of a case from last year. Large brain lesion. No known hx of malignancy. No definite lesions on imaging elsewhere. Minimal hx provided in general. Frozen and paraffin sections: malignancy sharply demarcated from normal glial tissue. Does not look like a primary brain lesion. #PathSky

One of many skin lesions removed. Standard level of Australian solar elastosis. Invasive nests, vague peripheral palisading. #PathSky

Endobronchial lesion, reasonably chunky, somehow an “incidental” finding. #PathSky

Metastasis in motion. Tumour tracking towards the already pretty chockers lymph node.

The quilting section at Spotlight makes the 'are women suited to surgery?' discussion seem ludicrous. Quilters have been piecing fabric and driving needles through complex designs for centuries. Needle holders, right angle forceps, cutting blades- all here. #ILookLikeASurgeon #MedSky

Why on earth would I want to know about uterine cervicitis or cervicitis with that search phrase? Is this the new dumbing down of PubMed?

The only cute thing about this case on my desk. #PathSky

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Ok, ok. Here’s the twist - here’s the patient #pathsky #PathSky #dermpath

Did anyone pick the lack of solar elastosis and suspiciously high number of hair follicles?

#PathSky #dermpath Subcutaneous neck lump, present for 3+ years, slow growth. Macro: 40mm. Appears encapsulated. Unusually well excised!

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

PAS or Grocott not required here 😬 #PathSky

This - and subsequently reading Dexter Holland's Wikipedia entry - has absolutely made my day.

#PathSky Biopsy with gastritis on scope. Epithelial stripping, dense inflammatory infiltrate in the lamina propria, and thick subepithelial collagen band highlighted on trichrome -> collagenous gastritis. No significant neutrophil population and H. Pylori negative.

#PathSky Ulcerated skin lesion. Sheets of immature cells, mitoses +++, eosinophilic myelocytes (eosinophilic granular cytoplasm); MPO and CD43+ Haem team is very good and never fails to give the key history of AML.
