OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

“48.6% of participants who received unusual or nonreportable clinical cfDNA-sequencing results had an occult cancer. Further study of DNA-sequencing patterns…suggestive of occult cancer during prenatal screening is warranted”

The holidays are much more peaceful in the years I skip ASH - and I don’t even have Thanksgiving to worry about! #hemesky
I don't know how Americans cope with Thanksgiving so close to Christmas. I am already extremely stressed about Christmas and everything it entails. There's no way I could handle a whole other thing before it.

Is anyone in #bloodsky aware of a commercial panel that claims to cover all the important B-cell lymphoma genes?
I'm trying to cross-reference the genes on these panels with our curated set of B-NHL drivers. I'm also interested in any generic heme panels that people are using.

Let's talk about the Dickey Amendment:
In 1993, CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) published a study in New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) showing gun ownership was positively correlated with homicide.
The NRA lobbied to get them eliminated.
