It’s WORD (world young rheumatic disease) day - raising awareness that children & young people develop diseases of joints & muscle. As a research community we work together to do this everyday, please read our recent @theconversation.com article as an example: theconversation.com/why-arthriti...
Why arthritis in children can threaten eyesight
Up to 30% of children with juvenile arthritis develop uveitis, an eye inflammation that can damage vision. New research highlights immune cells as treatment targets.

Anisur Rahman@anisurrahman.bsky.social · 5mo ago3 years ago two medical students called Maria and Nidhi started a research project at @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social with me in their spare time. I told them honestly that it would be a lot of work and might not succeed. They did it anyway. Yesterday we got the @LupusEurope award. They deserve it

Wow! What a week.. our #BSI25 Congress in stats: 3 invited talks 3 selected for abstracts for short talks 1 lunch industry talk and… 14 posters! Not bad for a department less than 1 yr old 👏🏼
Now more than usual (since I'm considering applying for a sex-differences based fellowship) I enjoyed and appreciated @ciurtinlab.bsky.social talk #BSI25! We really really need to sex-dissegregate our data!! ♂️♀️
