Federal workers in limbo. Employees at HHS getting emails telling them to justify their jobs and NIH instructing workers to hold off before responding. Obtained from a source familiar.

Wonderful, collegial, meeting this morning (6am!) with AML MRD colleagues from around the world. Challenging times for physicians and scientists but this productive, apolitical, thoughtful conversation with true experts working to use NGS to improve things for patients was therapeutic and energizing

#ASH24 Introverts don’t always relish mega-conferences the way others do. It helps me, personally, to remember the absolute joy that Eli Estey had at this meeting and how he relished the chance to engage meaningfully with his colleagues and their work (with kindness). @ash-hematology.bsky.social

US leadership in the funding of medical research is something we as taxpayers can be proud of. At a simpler, economic-only, level it is just an incredible return on investment.

Happy day after Thanksgiving for all those who managed to have a nice family meal thanks to the collective good judgement to not mention politics once.

Appreciate the invitation from Melody Zhang, Amir Behdad, and Craig Soderquist to talk at #AMP2024 about the only thing I know about (MRD testing in AML). Also, pictured here my co-speaker and previous clinical boss at Johns Hopkins - Mark Levis (FLT3 guru).

Having recently left the NIH after 12 years there I have complicated feelings about this. The unique NIH was one of the main reasons why I came to US. Public funding medical research for all humanity is a bold statement of American good. It should be better though. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

There are physician-scientist oncologists who can talk a good talk about “innovation” and having “transformative impact” - then there are those like Luis Diaz who quietly just actually do it.

Join us for an exclusive talk with pioneering oncologist Dr. Luis Diaz Jr. as he reveals how breakthroughs in genomics are reshaping cancer detection, treatment, and patient care. In person in Roanoke, Va., or virtually. #cancer fralinbiomed.info/diaz
