@liebowitz_jason Incredible, Jason! Congratulations to Anat and her team. Fascinating work. And what a powerhouse couple you are! :)

@ElieNaddaf3 Amazing! We were trying to see it from our cruise ship off Miami, but there was only a very fast little fireball in the sky.

The Global Conference on Myositis in Lisbon was a great week of science, collaboration, and friendship. Our Portuguese colleagues did a magnificent job of welcoming nearly 700 attendees this year. It is clear that we’re finally entering a new era of therapeutics. #GCOM2026

Kudos to my colleague and co-first author @JuliePaikMD on this landmark work. Proud to have contributed to the trial design, including a steroid-sparing protocol and integration of patient-reported outcome measures — more on that to come. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2503531 #Myositis

Delighted to see the VALOR trial, published today in @NEJM: brepocitinib (oral TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor) significantly improved the TIS vs. placebo in treatment-resistant #dermatomyositis (Δ15.3 pts; P<0.001), w/ superiority across all 9 key secondary endpoints — 🧵

@JuliePaikMD Congratulations, Julie. Grateful to be a small part of this story with everyone. It’s a great day and the beginning of a therapeutic era previously unseen in myositis.

Calcinosis is a painful, disfiguring and debilitating complication of SSc and DM. Our study suggests that 18F-NaF PET/CT may have advantages over expert clinical exam or CT alone for detection/quantification of calcinosis. #myositis #ssc #calcinosis

@ericdeinmd @RichardPAConway @RheumNow I really appreciate your excellent summary posts, Eric.

@liebowitz_jason congratulations, Jason!

@ElieNaddaf3 Fewer and fewer whole food healthy choices are available. Current estimates suggest that 73% of the United States food supply is ultra-processed. And highly palatable food (sugar/salt) is very easy to over-eat. This is a public health disaster.
