Metastasizing melanoma cells experience a form of cell death known as ferroptosis due to oxidative stress. This limits their ability to survive & spread. Mark Mannino, a @UTSWmstp student in @SJMorrison_ lab, is studying what drives ferroptosis in melanoma cells. #MelanomaMonday
My advice & experience for #MedTwitter#MedStudentTwitter#Match2022#PedsMatch22:
I wasn't at the top of my class. I didn't get inducted into AOA or GHHS. I didn't win any medical student awards or recognitions. I received no graduation awards. I didn't get amazing STEP scores.
A child with #SickleCellDisease is not eligible for @MakeAWish unless certain criteria are met
For #cysticfibrosis a diagnosis alone is sufficient
Both are life-threatening w/ significant impact on quality of life
The difference is race(ism)
@MakeAWish How do we change this?
