An update: After the diagnosis change to AML/myeloid sarcoma, we got a lot of great input. We’ve decided to go to St Jude’s to enroll in a clinical trial. We left for Memphis yesterday. We’ll be staying here for the next several months. Anxious but ready for the path ahead.

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

Octant Thanksgiving!

One of the more visceral things in being surrounded by the tech industry after academia is 20-30 yo are given vastly more responsibility & power, which leads to a diff culture. It maybe even a little too much on the other side (like >40yo are assumed to be out of touch). H/t @pracheeac.bsky.social
