I used it today! Thank you @splon and AACR coauthors

@harry_lesmana @UW_GCGP @sait_sammie @SCHPLUGS Keen eye @harry_lesmana - can you tell we printed this poster before our conversation at the NAPAAC meeting at ASPHO? Love our ever evolving #PedsHemOnc space!

@klbergst @UW_GCGP @sait_sammie @SCHPLUGS I am not seeing few IEI genes 🧬 on that list :)

Happy to share @UW_GCGP grad @sait_sammie capstone project @SCHPLUGS #PLUGSSummit2024

In a new study published in @CD_AACR, Mignon Loh, MD, and colleagues share promising results from a therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, an extremely rare and aggressive blood cancer typically diagnosed in infants and toddlers: aacr.org/about-the-aacr…

Friday afternoon grant writing (or paper writing) thought. A proposal I'm editing said something about, "In our preliminary work using [population]..." Never "use" a population. These are people who choose to participate. Honor their humanity.

@SCHPLUGS @Labcorp @ARUPLabs @UUtah @uwlabmedpath Thrilled to have TWO hematology talks in this lightning round #PLUGSSummit2024

After lunch Lightning Session at #PLUGSSummit2024 with Dr. Sanjai Nagendra from @LabCorp Dr. Joely Straseski from @ARUPLabs @UUtah Dr. Rebecca Wilson from @UWLabMedPath #LabMedicine #LabStewardship

@SCHPLUGS Also as a patient-facing clinician I often encounter external conflict but now have new compassion for my #LabStewardship colleagues facing internal conflict from peers and colleagues!

@SCHPLUGS Loved Dr. Kim’s points that to create a Culture of Learning you balance people and problems, by being friendly and firm. An eye opening talk for my people pleasing tendencies with lots to chew on over lunch!

Rounding out the #PLUGSSummit2024 morning is Sara Kim from @UWMedicine with "From Conflict to Common Goals: Handling Interpersonal Conflicts"

Today’s Supreme Court decision is welcome news, but the fight for reproductive rights is far from over. Someone else will file a lawsuit. Another state will pass legislation restricting women’s options. The only way to stop these attacks on women’s autonomy is to make sure that women have the political power to set their own agenda, instead of having their fundamental rights depend on someone else’s. We all have a role to play in this fight. Raise your voice. And vote in November. Your health and your future should be in your hands.

Just your regular reminder that almost 40% of 12-21 year old females in the US are iron deficient yet most aren’t aware because we don’t have universal screening. And it’s likely even higher in adults. tinyurl.com/FeJAMA

Hey managers: to keep your people, let them work from home 2 days a week. Landmark experiment (1600+ ppl, 2yrs): random assignment to hybrid work -Increased satisfaction -Reduced quitting by 33% (especially for women & long commuters) -No costs for performance or promotion rates

This is a core memory - I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing!
