⏰It's almost time...for there 2024 @carrainc Annual Meeting! The agenda for this #pedsrheum research org is 🔥🔥🔥 So excited to hear talks on optimizing registry data use & the latest #pedsrheum clinical & translational research (while always staying patient-centered)! 🩺🔬

Additional coauthors: @sandy_burnham @livie_huie Dr Julia Harris Dr Jennifer Huggins 🦋💜

We showed a Treat to Target strategy for #pediatriclupus in #pedsrheum clinic is acceptable and appropriate to clinicians but will require implementation facilitation to increase feasibility. More work to come!

Appreciate the highlight and appreciate all the help from my coauthors and mentors! More work to do to keep improving the outcomes for childhood #lupus

Excited to see this work led by @EmilySmitherman on cSLE patients with lupus nephritis in the @carrainc registry highlighted as the Editor's Choice Article! - There is a large amount of variability in LN therapy across centers -Male pts & older pts had worse short term outcomes

Overcoming Healthcare Disparity the-rheumatologist.org/article/overco… Humbling to present this information with colleagues @EmilySmitherman, Dr. Mileka Gilbert, @dr_esi, and @GottliebBeth. First step to improving is to understand the impact of disparities.

@DrTinyTree I'd like to see in-person plus virtual posters so you have either option to discuss. Also posters on screens like the 2019 pilot, makes travel so much easier! #ACR2022

Loved being back in person at #ACR22 💕 Seeing colleagues in person 💕 Meeting new people 💕 Lots of opportunities for learning However, -Sessions starting back to back 🟰 missed learning. Need time to get between sessions. -Virtual posters 🟰 missed connections #feedback

Thanks for the shout out @rheumdoctor ! Was so honored to give that talk

#ACR22 social media talk, very meta
