#Labelism seems to be the #root cause of current suffering in the world. The #trend of #labeling everyone and every #event without #solid #knowledge and #empathy is shadowing even the best of #intentions.

It feels like the real silence is heard more than the fake noise

Being somewhere in the middle of being #brave enough to #see and #chicken enough to #tell is the main problem of today's #scientists

How low a #doctor can go? Sell an #OTC ointment with an expiration date of 2020 (price=3 times that is available on #Amazon)!
The worst part IS to deceive #patients by cutting half of the lower part of the tube where the expiration date is? Huge disappointment in a colleague!

Expression of authenticity: In a world of "know-it-all"s, be the one modest enough to admit that you don't know but eager to learn, especially if you're a(n) physician/scientist/academic

Care starts with believing the patient & medical examination starts with the first eye contact.

Recently, the responsibility of #scientific #writers, #editors, #reviewers has progressed to enormous levels Having said that, the responsibility of #researchers has already exceeded those levels. I believe that #scientific writing must be a continuous part of the STEM curriculum

@askdrstephanie Sorry, somehow, I deleted that tweet... and thank you 🤗🙏

When it's #ATTACK #time and you feel horrible, stuck with #pain, #headache, #fever etc., people telling you that it is just your #Autoinflammatory #syndrome, you scream quietly that "knowing my #diagnosis does neither reduce my pain nor cheer me up" #autoinflammation #Genetics

I am very pleased to read that some really promising biomarkers for COVID-19 have entered the scene finally! A big applause to all who made this possible! @genomcc #COVID19 #Genomics #Genetics

[Tim McCaffrey, Ph.D. @genomcc]

Excited to share our latest article published in @plosone where we used RNAseq of #COVID19 patients to identify new biomarkers for severity, then developed a new point of care platform for infections in general... https://t.co/VA52t9CyPh #plosoneauthor #RNAseq

Old times: I was teaching #MedicalStudents proper usage of terminology for patients with #genetic #disease & hated the word #disabled as I had seen too many #patients who were "#challenged" in some ways, yet proficient in others! Deeply missing those days! #medicine #Disability

Being #sick is awful A #mild #clinical picture" can be overwhelming for some in some instances Now think about being sick as long as you #breathe that is a #ChronicIllness" People with #autoinflammatory #syndromes don't need pity, they need #Recognition #autoinflammatorydiseases

I am following some accounts to learn new things and some to unlearn old things. Thankfully, my 25+ years of expertise on medical genetics as an academician and a practicing physician, providing me the tools to choose between the two! #MedTwitter #Genetics #AcademicTwitter

@bengisemerciens Son yıllarda, neredeyse tüm psikopatolojilerle ilişkili, gereğinden fazla bir dillendirme, altını çizme, hatta tabir yerindeyse, özendirme var olduğunu gözlemliyordum. Dolayısıyla sizin gibi değerli bir bilim insanından bunu duymak çok önemli... Gönülden teşekkürler...

Marie Curie died of aplastic anaemia on 4 July 1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is radioactive and will be for 1,500 years.

This, I call a piece of good news for my dear #patients Finally, back to feeling hopeful for a break of silence from #Medical #Genetics and #Molecular Genetics communities, #boards, #associations, #colleagues https://t.co/z339BdA3pH

Just out of curiosity: How comfortable would you feel to reveal your identity and credentials as a reviewer to the authors of a manuscript?

Just minutes ago when I was writing the rate of #appendicitis cases in a #sepsis study, instead of 15% in the whole group, 39% in the group of patients with #gastrointestinal pathologies could be written. None of them would be wrong, yet the #perception! Didn't write the latter
