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

Myxopapillary ependymoma grossly has a characteristic sausage-shaped appearance. Commonly found associated with the filum terminale, it has a fibrillary glial appearance in a myxoid background. Though previously categorized as CNS WHO grade 1, it is now considered grade 2 #pathsky #medsky #neuropath

I am so sad. Another senseless shooting, this time at the Chiefs victory parade. One person has already died. 22 people were shot. 11 of those were CHILDREN. What is is going to take to make this stop? #GunViolence #ThisIsOurLane #EnoughIsEnough #GunReformNow #ChiefsParade

Something more work related: Smoking is still the main modifiable risk factor for lung disease. This is a typical finding - smokers macrophages and mucus spilling out from terminal airways into the alveoli. In this stage changes are (mostly) reversible when the patient stops smoking. #PathSky

This is so important. I have a major cancer conference I have stopped going to because they don’t permit people still nursing infants to bring their infants into the conference spaces. Calls and emails to them were ignored. Not renewing my membership next year. Organizations need to do better.

Good on NSW Health for this. Wearing a well-fitted respirator is an excellent way to reduce risk of covid infection, for those who feel the need to reduce their risk. Be kind to those who choose this - you don't know their motivations (there are many good ones) and it's none of your business.

Scientists are a bunch of nerds: Ed Southern invented a method for probing for DNA separated by gel electrophoresis: a 'Southern blot'. So when a method was developed for probing *RNA*, they called it a "northern blot". Similar jokers named a protein blot a "western blot".

Ed has a beard, is balding with glasses, and stern looking eyebrows.
