Fewer patients. More questions. For #MPNs, gaps in data mean delayed answers and care. 

This #RareDiseaseMonth, help move science forward.

Submitted the grant- future reviewers please hold in your minds that this work was put together while our city is under siege, our neighbors are being kidnapped, and our kids are being terrorized. Our hearts are heavy. I am proud of the amazing science my team put together despite these odds.

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"
