I am so honored to receive the king Hussein cancer award (promising researcher grant) in recognition of my research on #microbiome and #HCT .
Yet, this is a recognition not only for me, but also to @KHCFKHCC , and the research team @GhidaTalal
Uncertainty is ubiquitous in the practice of medicine. A new review characterizes clinical uncertainty and shows how teachers can guide learners to recognize, manage, and communicate uncertainty in practice.
Figure 1 from the review shows a conceptual model of how clinicians manage clinical uncertainty.
Clinicians recognize uncertainty through a range of cognitive, somatic, emotional, and behavioral cues and manage these experiences over time through cyclic processes of forward planning and monitoring, which can, in turn, reveal new uncertainties. These processes are highly dynamic and are shaped by evolving clinical findings and contexts.

Our immune system is an evolutionary masterpiece. Every day it protects us from the thousands of different viruses, bacteria and other microbes that attempt to invade our bodies. Without a functioning immune system, we would not survive.
One of the immune system’s marvels is its ability to identify pathogens and differentiate them from the body’s own cells. The microbes that threaten our health do not wear a uniform – they all have different appearances. Many have also developed similarities to human cells, as a form of camouflage. So how does the immune system keep track of what to attack and what to protect? Why doesn’t the immune system attack our bodies more frequently?
Researchers long believed they knew the answer to these questions: that immune cells mature through a process called central immune tolerance (see image). However, our immune system turned out to be more complex than they believed. Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.
هي أغلى من الروح" – جدة ياسمين
ياسمين، طفلة سورية عمرها 7 سنوات، كانت تعاني من لوكيميا الدم الحاد.
ظروف عائلتها الصعبة جعلت العلاج يبدو مستحيلا، وكانت الأيام تمر وتعبها يزيد.
لكن بدعم مركز الملك سلمان للإغاثة والأعمال الإنسانية، تغيرت القصة، وتحولت رحلة ياسمين من المستحيل إلى الأمل والصمود.
اليوم، الحمدلله، ياسمين بخير وصحتها في تحسن مستمر 🙏
كل الشكر والامتنان للمملكة العربية السعودية الشقيقة ولداعمنا الوفي مركز الملك سلمان للإغاثة والأعمال الإنسانية.
بفضلكم، أنقذنا مئات الأرواح ❤️
نقدر دعمكم ونفخر بشراكتكم.

NEW 🧵: Is human intelligence starting to decline?
Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s.
What should we make of this?
