Such a special moment to be with colleagues rallying together to support the NPF🌟 Proud to be a part of this incredible team! @NPF @UTSWDerm #Teamwork #Gratitude #psoriasis #psoriaticarthritis

@SNMA #AMEC was so critical to my development as a physician, scientist, and leader @HarrisTryonLab. LOVE this post of #AMEC2023. KEEP CLIMBING!!!

Somatic mutations accumulate in “normal” non-cancerous tissues (blood, skin, liver). But why are mutant clones selected? Do they merely proliferate more, selfishly? Or can clones adapt to disease? Could they protect tissues? We shed light on this: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gua9L7PXmc1- 1/10

In a 1966 Gallup poll, #MLK was rated “unfavorable” by 2/3 of Americans. Today, we revere his legacy while the injustices he fought persist—especially healthcare injustice. I propose solutions in my forthcoming book #TheBodiesKeepComing #MLKWeekend #MLKDay #BookRecommendations

@ShipraVaishnava @LHooperLab 🥰

In the last yr I’ve heard from several jr faculty offered #DEI positions. They are intrigued but skeptical. My advice: “if they are serious about #DEI there will be a budget & FTE release.” This ad bluntly states “No FTE will be provided.” C’mon #AMCs, we can & must do better. 🤦🏾‍♂️

@KemiDoll Waves and ripples everywhere!! You have no idea how often pearls from your podcast or newsletter are incorporated into my everyday decisions and those of my colleagues!

The Mavs hosted a GEM all-girls summer camp this week. Beth Guilliams RN, our dermatology clinic manager, spoke to the girls about skin health, and she took a photo with Mavs player Maxi Kleber!

One major barrier to advancing neonatal drug development is assessing severity of adverse events in already sick, hospitalized neonates. The @CPathInstitute INC has worked to develop & validate a neonate specific adverse event severity scale. Paper link: rdcu.be/cxJP0

@TamorahLewisMD @DrMonicaCox Ditto @TamorahLewisMD

@DrMonicaCox @THTryon you fulfill all the requirements (and THEN some) and I am lucky to already have by BDB in you :)

I couldn't have made it without my personal bad day buddy (BDB)! Read my thoughts about how you can find your BDB too! preparedtobeapioneer.com/5-ways-to-find… #career

Reminder: diversity town hall is tonight! In addition to medical students, we welcome any dermatology faculty who want to help answer questions in our lives chat. There will plenty of high yield info presented :)

@uche_blackstock You are not alone. Last year there were plans and critical thinking. This year, it feels like sending them into a vacuum…

I really try to be thoughtful about how I use my platform on here. I’ve debated sharing the following, but here goes. As a physician and parent of two little ones under 12, I’m more concerned about sending them back for in-person learning this year, than I was last year.
