In our latest episode of In the Rheum, Dr. Timothy Niewold — rheumatologist, physician-scientist, and Buddhist priest — joins host Emily Stormoen to talk about the very real science behind stress and inflammation, and what mindfulness might actually do for people living with chronic disease.

This one is for anyone who has ever felt like stress makes everything worse, wants to know the science behind it, and what to do about it.

Happening Today!

If weight and inflammation have been part of your story — or your conversations with your care team — this is the session you've been waiting for.

We're going live at 2:00 PM ET with experts breaking it all down in plain language, and sticking around for Q&A so nothing goes unanswered.

There's still time to grab your spot.

On #WorldLymphedemaDay, we’re standing with the lymphedema community to confront a system medicine has overlooked for too long.

For decades, the lymphatic system has been understudied. Under-imaged. Underestimated. (1/3)

I’m incredibly honored to receive this award. Huge thanks to the @LupusOrg !
This is a shared achievement with my family, mentors, mentees, and patients.
Excited to continue pushing lupus research forward!

HSS, the world’s leading academic medical center specializing in musculoskeletal health was founded on this day in 1863, marking its 161st anniversary. HSS was then known as The Hospital for the Relief of the Ruptured and Crippled, and welcomed its first patients in the middle of the Civil War. Since then, HSS has contributed to advancing patient care, research, innovation, and education.

Our sense of Purpose is stronger than ever: to help people get back to what they need and love to do, better than any other place in the world.

Want to know more about how genetic ancestry in different regions influences the levels of a key anti-viral cytokine “type I interferon (IFN)” and how this relates to the severity of viral infections?? @IlonaNln
