So well written @NucleatedRBC. Thanks for this piece!

[Derek Chan @thederekchan]

First in-person #ASH24! What a good conference. Really enjoyed meeting so many people doing cool work to move this field forward!

[Derek Chan @thederekchan]

Hands down love this. Beyond the storyline of #SickKidsVS, this concept translates why research is so important to healthcare now and in the future in very real terms:

Today, World Sickle Cell Day, we amplify the United Nation’s declaration that sickle cell disease is a public health problem in LMICs. Let’s elevate SCD to the level it deserves on the global health agenda. @GlobalSCDN #WorldSickleCellDay

Well reflected upon and shared!

[Mark Dawson @MAF_Dawson]

The career question I get asked the most is “why did I become a Physician-Scientist” - too often I give a vanilla answer to this - some colleagues have a Eureka moment- for me it was uncertainty, failure & extraordinary mentorship that set me on my journey https://t.co/RpTHgDuwCM

@UBCPediatrics @BCCHresearch @BCChildrensHosp @DrStevenPMiller Liking this direction!

@seeingaway @machealthsci I've been thinking a lot more over the last few years about moving evidence forward for patient groups that are clearly overdue for both advocacy and equity reasons. Congrats on this first step for First Nations youth Sawayra!
