Poster for World Blood Donor Day 2025, featuring a large red blood drop in the center with the message: “14 June 2025, World Blood Donor Day. GIVE BLOOD, GIVE HOPE.

Dr. Yoelys Cruz Leal presenting her CBS Dana Devine Award Lecture the @cstm-scmt.bsky.social 2025 Annual Meeting on her research distinguishing trogocytosis from phagocytosis. Her focus was on RhIg prophylaxis, but her discoveries may also one day reveal a way to safely transfuse incompatible RBCs

Dr. William Sheffield giving his QuidelOrtho award speech at the 2025 annual @cstm-scmt.bsky.social meeting. He reviewed his career focus on serpins, plasma and albumin, work that has done much to advance the fields of transfusion medicine and hemostasis. Funny, humble and very impressive 👏
