#ASH2023. We all need to remember this sentence

It’s a big mistake to weigh commercial opportunity (often done by 25 yo consultants) over likelihood of patient impact (usually done with gray hair and wrinkle)…. Just saying!

I remember seeing news footage of Nigel Farage’s Brexit march consisting of about 30 bellends and a whippet…

But no British news coverage of this incredible strike action from yesterday:

How’s the UK government doing? Well, we now have removals vans parked on Downing Street on permanent standby…

A big thank again to the #ISTH team and the local organising committee for the great meeting. We see each other next year in #Montréal hopefully with lots of new constructive scientific data. Have a safe trip back home! Was lovely to see you all!

[Professor Beverley Hunt OBE (also on BlueSky) @bhwords]

It’s one week before #ISTH2022
Final preparations are being made, & excitement growing!

If you are attending in person please pack shorts & sunglasses, because with a lot of effort, the local organising committee have arranged perfect London weather for you 😉

Important paper showing that the ferritin level cut-off for women (15micrograms/L) recommended by the WHO is wrong. Based on US NHANES data they show that the physiologically important cut-off for women is 25 micrograms/L. https://t.co/hMqIb2q1si

So true

Preprint on post #COVID19 vaccination thrombocytopenia and thrombosis case series resembling HIT without heparin exposure is now on ResearchSquare. https://t.co/QRt1Rk0Rnu

Canada has suspended the use of the Astra Zeneca Oxford #COVID19 vaccine in persons under the age of 55 years whilst it investigates the issue of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia post vaccination. https://t.co/ZrnD8ZC5B7

Very true, social media is great for creating momentum. Thanks @ProfMakris, we have a few COVID 19 Cogulation projects or ‘pandemic clot’ as coined by our research fellow!

[Michael Makris @ProfMakris]

If you would like to see how social media in general and twitter in particular helps to make science more accessible, have a look at this article I wrote for RPTH. https://t.co/VRgyFXXP8t #COVID19 #hemophilia #thrombosis #haemophilia

Very impressive patient numbers of outcomes.

[Michael Joyner @DrMJoyner]

@ScottGottliebMD We have treated 27k patients with convalescent plasma. 7d mortality declining and - like time to reperfusion in heart attack - may be associated with earlier treatment. Doing the stats now. @ACasadevall1 @ShohamTxID @DrJPHenderson @VincentRK @cardiobrief @ScottWrightMD

[Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis]

I think this is an important and subtle observation that also applies to science. Via @paulg

@DrKinKam @ProfMakris This might be a novel approach to achieve herd immunity🤔

[Pratima Chowdary @chowdarypm]

Freudian slip !

[That Civil Service tweet twice a day (fan account) @ThatCivilTweet]

Arrogant and offensive. Can you imagine having to work with these truth twisters?
