I just donated to Wikipedia for the first time... I use it a ton. It almost always has good information. And I want to see it succeed against Musk.

I just dug up some info on BioArctic's BrainTransporter tech - almost 10x increase in drug in the brain! That's quite the image

The participants were all Latino - which feels like a first in a study.

I need to dig up the underlying paper to figure out how much of a change was really detected

Our #gingerbread is coming along. This year Jeff the #lochness monster is looking for a security job in the local town. Love that my little added a briefcase 😂

A nice handy slide from the FDA sessions at #ASH24 of CAR-T therapy approvals to date!

And so begins the last session at #ASH24
December 10, 2024 at 7:34 PM
Gonna throw it out there - if you're at #ASH24 and haven't visited headshot alley you're missing out on an incredible offer!

Guys! #ASH24 had a #puppy pen!! Look at this little guy! Apparently 4 or 5 puppies have been adopted so far, which is nuts. I can't imagine going to a conference and coming home with a puppy (despite deep desire and begging from my littles)

Slide deck from the #Keto and #Car-T talk at ASH today - for those interested. Going to try and post in a reasonable order, but failry new to bluesky...a thread... 1/x @donadickinson.bsky.social @bigmoke.bsky.social @tmask.bsky.social

#Rilzabrutinib Phase 3 LUNA 3 results in #thrombocytopenia at #ASH24

Dr. Shan Liu just called out the Western diet as the "Fast Food" diet and she ain't wrong 😂 And look, the Western diet upped tumor volume...

I have a good friend who came back from stage 4 lung cancer after a *massive* diet change, so I find this talk on #keto boosting #Car-T interesting

What am I missing? The #cemsidomide MonoDACTM degrader results showed a patient case study. It looks like it worked great during the first month, but after a few months disease came back with a bang...and close to 9 in 10 pts discont. (I recognize its a heavily pretreated pop. & oral)

Big congrats to Dr Rachel Rau looking at #blinatumomab in kids. Adding it into standard #chemo significantly cut relapses and increased disease free survival. She mentioned the data monitoring board suggested a stop to randomization for efficacy. #ASH24 #ASH2024 🧪

Off to #ASH24!! Ready for some sun and lots of learning!

The self-restraint it took not to eat all my end of the year thank yous to work colleagues...

But seriously, #tonyschocoloney is my fave. And nothing beats the caramel sea salt.

Hired out my first project on Fivver- turning my kids art into patches as a #stockingstuffer for my hubs. They need some work, and likely a different base material, but I am so excited!! #embroidery

Saving to read later!
Very excited to dive into this paper! 🤩 Such beautiful videos and data 🧪
Imagine seeing a disease's impact on every cell in the body. Now, you can! We introduce MouseMapper, an AI tool to reveal system-wide disease perturbations.

This isn't at all surprising, but will be quite a hurdle for #US #chipmakers. A lot of electronics are about to get very expensive...
