Hi, I'm Joe

This wonderful 🧵 from my equally wonderful friend @HermelinMD should be required reading for all first-year #pathresidents! She's got it right: Keep chipping away, learn something new every day, and when you find something that speaks 🗣️ to you, LISTEN TO THAT VOICE!

Who could have imagined?
7 years ago, 7 months pregnant w/ my 6th babe, I started my @SLUHospital AP/CP pathology residency.
Boy was I excited!
🤩My dream was being realized.
I even was assigned my own microscope.
Could life get any better?

Many know Fya/Fyb (Duffy) the ACKR1 protein, is a receptor for malaria but did you know MNS glycoproteins are too 👇🏼 https://twitter.com/BloodCenterWI/status/1527387381107654656

The proteins that carry MNS antigens are receptors for bacteria and viruses. Lack of these proteins has not been linked to disease. However, scientists believe the proteins may assist the parasite that causes malaria to infect cells. https://bitly.versiti.org/3veFd25 #VersitiScience

It finally happened @bloodbankguy. I was on AP+CP call over the weekend and while talking to a clinician, I actually used the words "I'm going to put my blood bank hat on"........ I have officially been listening to your podcast way too much .... I think.
