Observe: the blue and the red heeler dogs are able to dialogue about their different positions and come together, despite the large obstructing "cankle". Let's hope Congress can follow their lead....

With all the uncertainty and chaos in federal funding for research, I am so grateful for support from @bcrfcure.bsky.social. Loved the recent postcard campaign. 2025-6 BCRF funded 260 breast cancer researchers in 16 countries. Donations up to $60,000 through 10/31/25 matched 4X: go to BCRF.org

Oh my goodness! As our amazing technologists remind us, mammography may not be the most pleasant experience! But finding breast cancer early through yearly screening reduces deaths due to breast cancer by over 40%. Happy Breast Cancer Awareness Month #Halloween!

Carmen's puzzle solution is much more clever, but Petunia also had a good solution to her "puzzle bowl" for lunchtime cauliflower....Sometimes you have to "think outside the bowl"!

Today's @nytimes.com #SpellingBee seems especially appropriate--we are all much more aware of the pangram these days! And some of the other words have more meaning than ever....

For #BCAM, know the "rule of 40s": start mammography at age 40 for 40% reduction in risk of death due to #breastcancer and easier treatments. For the 40% of women with #densebreasts, 40% of cancers are missed on mammography and adding MRI helps; US if MRI not possible. @densebreastinfo.bsky.social

Just out in Journal of Breast Imaging: Dr. Linda Larsen and colleagues showed knowledge gaps on breast density awareness in women younger than 50, HIspanic/Latina women, and those without any college education. Resources at SenosDensos.org densebreast-info.org/espanol/ @densebreastinfo.bsky.social

Insurance laws in 35 states +DC require coverage for supplemental screening MRI or ultrasound in women with dense breasts or other risk factors. Four states now include CEM (AK, MS, AR, OK), but not yet FDA approved for screening. Many insurers exempt from state law. @densebreastinfo.bsky.social
