@dobe1.bsky.social · 7mo agoGreat to read the roadmap
Today is #WorldCancerDay ~1 in 5 people will develop #cancer in their lifetime Each diagnosis affects not just one person, but families, communities, and futures Grateful today for patients, clinicians, researchers & advocates - and to appreciate that progress depends on acting together #WCD2026
In a recent @thrombosis-update.bsky.social article, the authors show that the Pathfast D-dimer assay is a rapid POC test for determination of D-dimer with good analytical performance. Read more here: sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @lucynortcd.bsky.social #TruJournal
New treatments have greatly improved survival for #cancer patients but they also come with a risk of #thrombosis. In our new review in @jthjournal.bsky.social we explain why. doi.org/10.1016/j.jt... @wardm6tcd.bsky.social @isth.org.

"I want to read research that feels written for me." That line appeared in our workshop zines and stayed with us. Open access doesn’t automatically mean open understanding. Who do you write for? And who might feel left out? #openresearch #publicengagement

Academic folks, here's proof that Bluesky is a great place to post citations. I am also noticing much better traction in general (I post for an academic group; despite a larger following on X there's much more interaction here).
Altmetric@altmetric.com · 2y agoThe general trend is crazy. Here is Twitter vs Bluesky volumes for the last week. On some days they are equal in volume.
