It is so painful to share the news of @FralickMike sudden and unexpected passing 💔
Mike was an amazing, inspiring and generous person who touched the lives of many.
As we mourn, please share and consider supporting his wife and 2-year-old daughter. https://t.co/uErWWCFPde

To the x bots bashing my poem for its format to avoid the relevancy of its content: the verse shape is inspired by Minneapolis itself. Stop griping over the structure of a poem and funnel that critical energy towards the federal agents executing American citizens.
From med student to fellow, Allison Taylor, MD, has received funding from ASH every step of the way!
ASH can support your #hematology career, too. All you have to do is apply by Feb. 2: https://t.co/wOoylgxai2

#mmsm Every cancer deserves this level of progress (Great news to the myeloma field as well as the patients)
✅ 5-year relative survival has increased dramatically from 32% in the mid-1990s to 62% in 2015-2021 (and certainly better nowadays)
⭐️This represents one of the largest survival gains among high-mortality cancers⭐️
🛑Estimated new cases in 2026: 36,000 total
✅ 5-year survival is virtually equal across races - 62% (White) vs 63% (Black) 👏
⭐️One of the FEW cancers with no survival disparity, proof that when breakthrough treatments reach everyone, equity IS achievable⭐️
And yes, myeloma is a curable malignancy for some patients, the goal is to make it curable for most
Excellent to see OS benefit of CARTITUDE-4 (from #IMS24) now in @TheLancetOncol
Only 2 modern Tx in MM have shown PFS, OS, & QOL ⬆️ in Ph3 trials; cilta-cel is one of them 👏
Clever Suppl Figure: almost more noticeable than if on one figure. OS best when CAR-T used early!

Such a privilege to be on @ASCO 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 myeloma guidelines led by @LisaHicksMD@jmikhaelmd
Biggest pearl 👇
Most important part of discussions about CAR-T, tec-dara, etc isn’t what I say…
… it’s what patient & loved one say after I present options! No right answer for all.

Mike Myers playing Elon Musk on SNL and then busting out a CANADA IS NOT FOR SALE SHIRT at the end of the show is exactly the energy we need right now. 🤛❤️🇨🇦
