if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

It has been 40 years since the cloning of the VWF gene was published. Very fitting that the ISTH SSC is focusing this year’s talks on the role of genetics in VWD. Names of so many giants in VWD science who mentored all of us who continue the scientific and clinical work today. #isth2025

Frequently, systems-based hematology focuses on reducing overuse, but there are many interventions that are under utilized! This is a great review from Dr. Jacob Cogan, my former mentee, and a great team, including @heme-fan.bsky.social and @gbarnesmd.bsky.social

New review discusses underutilization of effective agents for hematologic care.
The team, including @heme-fan.bsky.social and @gbarnesmd.bsky.social recommend addressing this knowledge gap with better patient education resources!

In case anyone is wondering why I haven’t responded to emails or text messages, it’s because this girl came home recently! Her name is Quinn, her dads love her so much, and she is pure love and happiness in a ball of fluff. I’m sorry but responses will be delayed!

Vinay Prasad, who consistently spreads misinformation and is basically an internet troll, is now going to oversee a key FDA center regulating vaccines and gene therapies. I’m one of many who was blocked online by Vinay because he didn’t like having his lies challenged.
