beautiful!

Heading back to SF from Wash U St Louis It was great to give 4 talks over 2 days. I hope to make at least 2 available on YouTube, & 3 on plenary session. It was heartening to talk to so many sensible doctors. When it comes to COVID19 ppl stopped me in the halls to say...🧵

Thanks to @PiccirilloJay for invitation to Wash U. If you enjoyed my talks, let him know

Continue to be inspired by Manu, his ability to find clever feasible and impactful solution is a marvel

@CorySimpsonMD @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW @RareDiseases @ShantTamazian @SocInvestDerm WashU crew will be there!

@leoshmu @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW @RareDiseases @ShantTamazian Yep, we are exploring the possibility that dysfunction of this pathway may be common to other blistering diseases. Stay tuned for our latest forthcoming work to be submitted for @SocInvestDerm meeting in Dallas. Hope you’ll be there!

Sharing our report of #Darier dz flared by lithium Tx of bipolar d/o, a #Psych co-morbidity. ER calcium pump (SERCA2) mutation impairs cell adhesion to cause skin blisters. @SimpsonLabUW @DermatologyUW aims to find new Rx for @RareDiseases in #Dermatology. escholarship.org/uc/item/6c07c8…

Playing with small 3d printed linear flexures- we can have precise linear motion driven by a screw with an embedded nut. @beniroquai we are thinking about this kind of miniature linear flexures for z-focus, inspired by your many awesome projects!

Proud PI moment seeing lab alumnus present her work. Excites to cheer her on tomorrow afternoon when presents some of her thesis work too!

@ErikMusiek @jonykipnis I found comfort in the President’s words too. It has been disheartening to see people struggle to unequivocally call out evil when they see it. It should be possible to have empathy for the innocent in Gaza while also be unwavering in denouncing terrorist actions.

@jonykipnis The President is resolute here and says exactly what needs to be said. Unfortunately, it's clear that many in academia and on the US political left have become strange bedfellows with Islamic extremism, which is disturbing.

If you can spare 2-3 min, please watch this. Standing with Israel today does not mean not caring about the tragedy in Gaza. Hamas brought this tragedy on both Nations and the situation is devastating.

Congratulations to Christine O'Brien and her team, Leo Shmuylovich and Kelsey Mayo! They received a $320,000 prize in the 3rd phase of the @NIH's Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Technology (RADx Tech) for Maternal Health Challenge engineering.wustl.edu/news/2023/OBri… via @WashUengineers

Exciting to have our recent article related to post partum hemorrhage detection with a wearable laser speckle imaging device featured by Biomedical Optics Express! optica.org/about/newsroom… via @OpticaWorldwide

I am so lucky to be working with @cobrie5 and team to develop wearable laser speckle imaging tech that provides early detection of post partum hemorrhage. Our first paper showing feasability in an animal model of hemorrhage is out! #OSA_BOEx opg.optica.org/boe/abstract.c….

@RoxanaDaneshjou @CorySimpsonMD @Dr_vron Downside was I wasn't eligible for boards until after my final year residency, so I took them 1 year after the residents that I started my PGY2 year with. Upside was I took both peds derm and adult derm boards back to back and had uninterrupted research 4/

@RoxanaDaneshjou @CorySimpsonMD @Dr_vron I got permission from ABD to do my fellowship in peds derm after my PGY3 year (so my PGY4 )3rd year of derm residency) was actually my peds derm fellowship), and then after my fellowship I completed my adult derm residency and started postdoc 80/20 3/

Inspired by @allisonoconn's thread on MD-PhDs applying for physician scientist programs in internal medicine residency, I am going to do a dermatology-centric one. It's been a couple years since I've applied, so maybe some things have changed.

Proud of my postdoctoral mentor who helped me achieve more than I could have imagined and continues to support me and other former mentees!
