💜 This #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re raising awareness of #lupus symptoms and the importance of early detection. Lupus affects many areas of the body, from the skin to the kidneys, and its symptoms can go unnoticed. Share this graphic, help yourself and others recognize signs early.

I had the fantastic oppurtunity to visit with @arielpolizio.bsky.social and the Robert M. Berne Cardiovascular Research Center at the University of Virginia. It was amazing to interact with passionate trainees and faculty members and present our recent findings. Thank you so much for the invitation!
