New paper out! 47% of the world cannot access basic diagnostics. Pathologists are the missing link.
Our @umichmedicine@UMichPath Global Pathology Summit brought experts from 8 countries together to map out how to actually address pathology disparities in LMICs. National ownership, smarter use of digital tools, and retention strategies that treat pathologists like the specialists they are.

I'm working on a teaching presentation on Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Picture below contains HRS-like cells from 9 different cases.
Which ones are classical Hodgkin's lymphoma and which ones are something else?

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis!!! Derm- the path to rule them all! The granulomatous pattern ...
Early: sheets of histiocytes/MF packed with amastigotes.
Later: granulomas with epithelioid histiocytes, multinuc. GC, lymphocytes, plasma cells.

I have nothing else to say!! Histology is BEAUTIFUL!!
I could look at this stunning chest section all day and never get tired of it! 🤩

Hello #PathTwitter friends! Can someone please recommend websites with unknown WSIs to practice your diagnostic skills?
I know of https://t.co/uyrBvCcJgd

For images I know of the John's Hopkins Unknown Conference collection.
Would be grateful for your recommendations!
Kicking off 2025 with my second YouTube series: Hematopathology Case Collection. The first case explores hyaline vascular Castleman Disease, stromal-rich variant with indolent T-lymphoblastic proliferation. Check it out here: https://t.co/CekrM6Ivkv
Excited to see our new article online:

Thousands of medical students and recent medical graduates from abroad attempt to secure research or related job positions in the United States every year.
Most attempts are unsuccessful, and unfortunately the odds become tougher every year as applicants are more in quantity and better quality.
Often by mistake, I receive emails and LinkedIn messages asking for opportunities that I cannot offer so I provide guidance.
Here are the most common mistakes that I see in people’s way of reaching out and in their social media profiles:

Highly beneficial to go through this checklist the week prior to your test to make sure you can mentally work through the Dx/Tx protocols for these diseases.
You shouldn’t be studying the esoteric shit like Ortner syndrome, Alagille syndrome or Gray platelet syndrome if you don’t know this list well.
Dm me if you need help 👍 hosted a free live coaching session tonight. Was great meeting some of yall from Twitter!
Four life lessons I learned while studying statistics:
1. False positives vs false negatives: Fewer false positives often come at the cost of more false negatives and vice versa.
LIFE LESSON: The less stringent your criteria, the more crap you need to deal with, but the more stringent your criteria, the more genuinely good stuff you miss out on.
Missed opportunities is the price of never wasting your time. Wasting your time is the price of never missing an opportunity.
2. Overfitting vs Underfitting: Less flexible models can't fit the data. More flexible models are prone to picking up patterns that don't generalize.
LIFE LESSON: Over-thinking makes you more vulnerable to seeing patterns that aren't there. It turns you into a misinformation machine.
3. Bias vs Variance: More complex models give less consistent answers. Less complex models give more biased answers.
LIFE LESSON: There is a natural trade-off between nuanced thought and consensus.
People get mad when experts disagree especially when non-experts don't but that's actually what you would expect.
4. Curse of Dimensionality: Given a fixed amount of scenarios to learn from, there's a point beyond which considering additional factors stops helping.
LIFE LESSON: If you haven't experienced much, keep things simple. Nuance without experience is actively harmful.
SUMMARY:
The common theme I see is these are cautionary tales for over-thinkers like me. There are hard mathematical limitations on what we can possibly know as rational beings.
There is wisdom in knowing when to think but there's also wisdom in knowing when to stop.
