One of those leukemias that read the books.. a perfect example of Cup-like blasts... flow phenotype was CD34-, CD117+, HLA-DR- , which often raises concern for APL... This is a classic example of NPM1-mutated AML.. #hemepath #leusm

We are fortunate to have excellent training in #hemepath & flow cytometry @UIPathology. So glad that our department chair @PathImmune is now sharing his expertise with #PathTwitter—check out his new teaching series #GoWithTheFlow!

As a TwitterNewbie, amazed by the threads; inspired by the educational focus of Pathology colleagues. Have decided to toss my own pebbles into this ocean. But before getting to the cases, decided to record intro videos covering the basics: youtu.be/gEhOpnc6rQk

Protect yourself and your community from coronavirus with common sense precautions: wash your hands, stay home when sick and listen to the @CDCgov and local health authorities. Save the masks for health care workers. Let’s stay calm, listen to the experts, and follow the science.

One way to thank residents is to provide stipend information before asking us to sign our contracts!
Despite multiple requests UIHC residents still don’t have stipend information!
What other employees sign contracts without knowing what they’ll be paid?!
