Speechless and beyond grateful to honor the journey of Dr. Wartman as the ASTCT 2025 Lukas D. Wartman #GVHD Achievement Awardee. Thank you to my patients for constant inspiration and colleagues for encouragement over the years. What unexpected recognition. I share this award with you! ❤️🙏

Congratulations on my friend Dr. Shernan Holtan @sghmd.bsky.social on being recognized for her work in #gvhd by the #gvhdalliance Lukas D Wartman Award #tandem25

#tandem25 #bmtsm Auletta: 51% of pts accrued to ACCESS were ethnically diverse. Non-white pts had more barriers to HCT and used more support services. So… as more can find donors using MMUD it will require identification of additional support resources/funding to ensure equitable access to HCT.

See you in room 309 for our #SoMe conversation. The topic is timely! 👀 📱 @astct.bsky.social #Tandem25

Great to see @mskcancercenter.bsky.social BMT APPs presenting at #tandem25

Join me on X Spaces this Weds where Dr. Banerjee and I will talk about the latest scientific breakthroughs in treating cancer, immune diseases, and other bone marrow disorders using stem cell transplants and cellular therapy! 👇 All are welcome!

(Probably) unpopular opinion: I wish our academic society meetings were over 2-3 days max, during the week, in some centrally located city. Get in, work hard, get out. Meetings are another #TimeToxicity. Being away from family so long is not great.

I just want to go back to the time when every single song on the radio was by the goo goo dolls

Academic medicine colleagues, I worry we missed the boat on scientific communication. If we did a better job of explaining what we do and how we do it, half the country wouldn’t be so happy about defunding us right now.

⚠️ Effective Monday 2/10/25, NIH indirect rate capped at 15%. Applies to existing & future grants. —> Deep budget cuts & program closures coming to a university near you. Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?

Do you ever just feel like taking a long walk through a forest? 🌲

Can we reduce #PTCy dose and ditch #MMF altogether in matched donor allotransplantation? Interesting data from Spain: www.mdpi.com/2072-6694/16...

Happy National Women’s Physicians Day!! #medsky #BlackMedSky

We do not rise to the level of our expectations; we fall to the level of our training. Stay focused. 🧠 Training and experience matter.

#MedSky #SurgSky During my surgery rotation in med school, my favorite surgeon taught me to suture, saying “Slow is smooth, & smooth is fast.” In Osler Residency, our motto was “Aequanimitas.” Just two examples of how #MedEd training is excellent prep for your life. 💪

I am in year 2 of a 5yr NIH R01 grant that aims to bring the @3wishesprogram.bsky.social to #LA's underserved patients. It took me 3 years (4 tries) to get this grant. I have research coordinators & investigators whose salaries depend on the grant. I am so angry right now. #medsky

Starting "Transplant and Cell Therapy University" @roswellpark.bsky.social today. Posted reading materials, learning objectives + open book quiz before each live weekly session. We have many new team members and have not had a lot of time to discuss why we do what we do. Here we go! 🚀

Getting rid of diversity supplements is devastating. I run a seminar series for up and coming scientists. One thing I can do to help is to ensure this series represents the full diversity of the scientists in our field. Pass this along and help us make that possible. bsky.app/profile/mike...

I’m sure it’s completely unrelated to current events, but I decided to learn @livingcolour.com #CultOfPersonality. It’s going…uhhh this song is hard even at <50% speed 😂 #sendhelp

Several places where this article doesn’t quite hit the mark and is misleading…What context would you add? 🤔 Why bone marrow transplants are becoming less common www.statnews.com/2024/12/24/b... via @statnews.com

This is so important!!! 👇

It makes sense! 🤷‍♀️ We coach trainees at all levels before procedures, consults, or difficult conversations. Real-time refreshers should be normalized. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/06/o...

Our new @BMTCTN 1703 analysis busts a few myths: - QOL improved with ptCY - 🩸Cystitis not worse - 2yr GRFS superior 42% vs 29%, p=0.001 - ptCY relapse NOT higher @sghmd.bsky.social TY to Mike Martens for elegant analysis #GvHD #alloHCT #BMT ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/...

Everyone complains about how crowded the gym gets after New Years but it is kind of wonderful to see so much hope in one place.

One of my best friends is the guitarist and songwriter for this band. Would appreciate if you’d check out the Cure cover they just put out. It’s a major departure for this band. IYKYK. #NewMusicFriday open.spotify.com/track/6YZjG6...

Nice to trade scrubs for a snow suit for a few days!

In a first of its kind, the @fda.gov has approved the first mesenchymal stem cell therapy, Mesoblast’s Ryoncil for the treatment of graft versus host disease.
