That’s right. 🇺🇦

Everyday I fell in love with this beautiful city more and more! #SanDiego #TorreyPines

This sparrow made my day this morning! Walking from parking lot to my office. Feeling so grateful 🌺💕 #SanDiego #UCSD

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

Beautiful Western/california scrub Jay outside of my office singing. Their blue head, tail and back is such a sight to look at 💕🌺

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fire the head of the Office of Special Counsel, which oversees government whistleblower protections and enforces certain ethics laws.

#PathSky Perianal mass, 38F. Well-circumscribed, modulated, myxoid. Diffusely S100-positive. Nerve sheath myxoma? Not quite right.

#PathSky Slowly growing superficial leg mass, 38M. Well-circumscribed, phleboliths, thrombosed vessels, cellular spindle cell areas, cavernous vascular channels. Dx?

#PathSky 79M with a superficial neck mass. Wildly pleomorphic, quite cellular- undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, right? There are basically no mitoses though, the cells have abundant granular-glassy cytoplasm, there is a lot of inflammation, and many bizarre cells have nuclear inclusions.

Some tumor look-a-likes on this Friday: Chordoid meningioma and chordoma can share similar features of cords of cells in a myxoid background. Chordoma shows diffuse nuclear Brachyury expression whereas chordoid meningioma is positive for SSTR2 helping to differentiate the two 🧠 #pathsky #neuropath

#PathSky 32M with extra-axial, dural-based, frontoparietal mass. Clearly malignant epithelioid cells arranged in cords and nests in a sclerotic background. Looks a lot like a sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma, and it is strongly MUC4-positive. So, we’re done, right?

Just like Texas rarely sees snow ❄️, every once in a while you will find a primary tumor of the posterior pituitary so keep it in mind during frozen section analysis! Here is a classic example of pituicytoma showing diffuse nuclear positivity for TTF1 #pathsky #neuropath #medsky 🔬 🧠

💰💸 Historian Heather Cox-Richardson called it the greatest data breach in history.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Elon Musk and his team at the "Department of Government Efficiency" (which is NOT an official government department), access to the agency’s federal payments system, which essentially operates as the country’s central bank account. UM.

RFK Jr. gave the worst answer ever to the question, "what would you do with a time machine?"

50 States, 50 Capitals, 50 marches. February 5. 2025 at 12:00 PM (noon). At least wear blue. #marchfordemocracy #goUSA #Onevoice #blueCrew #Resist #March

Fourteen hours before the crash. 👇

NYT reports an air traffic controller’s seat was empty at DCA last night www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Today Dr Zhai (President of College of American Pathologists) graciously visited UCSD and gave us a talk on how to contribute and benefit from CAP! Thank you #pathology #path

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you
