Do we know enough about the quality of stored blood products? How would transfusion medicine improve if we did? Can advanced technologies converge to help?

Our recent work with Dr. Asatekin (@AyseAsatekin) and Dr. Gokaltun (@aslihangokaltun) was featured on https://t.co/AogYLGDX0i.

[Berk Usta @ustaosma]

Indeed. We are excited and thrilled to work with Dr. Asatekin (@AyseAsatekin) to enable better care for patients and simpler operations for healthcare workers.

It was so exciting to work on developing new burn dressings that can be quickly dissolved to be changed (as opposed to surgical removal of dressing stuck to the burn), with @ustaosma and @aslihangokaltun at @CEMatMGH, broadening our work at @TuftsEngineer

I'm continuing to share excerpts from my memoir on chronic illness on my website. This is a piece on beginning to read again after years of being too sick for even that seemingly minimal activity:

@MaiaEvrona You're really coming from behind on this 😅👻

[Maia Evrona @MaiaEvrona]

With all respect for the poems that were included, I thought this Yehuda Amichai poem fit the feeling of the inauguration and memorial service better than most could. https://t.co/BZ7A4VfuT5

[Berk Usta @ustaosma]

@MaiaEvrona @SenSchumer Maybe he heard you?

[Berk Usta @ustaosma]

@MaiaEvrona I hear that the newest amendment is that you have to wait a year after getting your citizenship before you can amend things. I hear the amendment was written and passed by Maia.
