If you voted for Allison Riggs in the 2024 NC election check here to see if your ballot is being challenged. If so, then you have 15 business days from whenever they mail the notices to cure your ballot, but best to check now & cure yours as soon as possible, even if this ruling might get overturned

Postpartum hemorrhage is a significant risk for many women yet the etiology is not well understood. New study from Claire de Moreuil shows that plasma from PPH have a different fibrin network than controls.

I always hated the "this is the greatest country in the world" refrain, but it is striking to me that the things they are killing in government — an unrivaled scientific research enterprise, incredible public lands, etc — are some of the only things that made such a statement vaguely defensible.

#AI seemed to arrive fast and furious, but is it really new? #HTRS2025 Plenary “AI in Science and Medicine” next. Hype or hope? How will it shape the future of hemostasis and thrombosis?
