Word of Christmas Day, as always, is ‘confelicity’: joy in the happiness of others. The fellow emotion to ‘compassion’, literally ‘a suffering with’. Wishing you confelicity aplenty this Christmas.

Let me share a few things I learned this year #1 NOTHING lasts forever, even when dark and long, it will end AND YOU are going to be OK

El que vive bajo la sombra protectora del Altísimo y Todopoderoso, dice al Señor: Tú eres mi refugio, mi castillo, ¡mi Dios, en quien confío!. Salmo 91,1-2

#ASH23 was a family reunion. To my village, thank you for speaking life into my dreams & me. I am a testament that when you invest in Black women, you see their vision blossom without limitations. From a little girl from Albany, GA to @YaleMed..a dream realized. #SickleCell #DEI

How to treat myeloma after #ASH23 -don’t treat high risk smoldering -do quads for transplant eligible (but no cd38 maintenance afterwards) -don’t do quads or carfilzomib in newly diagnosed frail/older patients -don’t do a salvage auto no matter how good the first auto was

Phenomenal presentation by @LaylaDoren1 on trainees’ perspective on SCD education. Powerful insight on an extremely relevant topic. SCD education is rare yet essential for trainees. Demystifying this complex disease through education will improve care for these patients. #ASH2023
