- Beside myself with joy to join the outstanding research and clinical faculty, scientists, nurses, and pharmacists @SylvesterCancer @UMiamiHealth as chief of #Hematology in January!!! 😃😃🥳🥳 Also bittersweet to leave my friends, colleagues, and mentors @ClevelandClinic 😢😢😢Thrilled to receive official word from @DrSDNimer noting that superb hematologist, clinical researcher and humanist @MikkaelSekeres will be our next Chief of #Hematology. I look forward to all that he will do here @SylvesterCancer @UMiamiHealth

- On my final day @ClevelandClinic, the snowy weather makes the transition to @SylvesterCancer @UMiamiHealth a little easier! Will so miss my wonderful CLE friends, colleagues, and especially patients from the past 18 years. Can’t wait for new ones in MIA!🏝
- This Monday, 9/14, I pass the torch as Director of @CleClinicMD Leukemia Program, my role for the past 10 years, to @CarrawayHetty! It is so comforting to know our team of 60+ will be led by someone with such high intellect, insight, and EQ. Good luck Hetty!

- Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Cleveland anymore!
- I recently moved from @CleClinicMD to @SylvesterCancer and realized there is no playbook for navigating interviews and position transitions in academic hematology/oncology. So here are a few guidelines I provide via @Figure1! figure1.com/post/ten-steps…
- My first opinion piece for @WSJopinion! Are You Sure You Have Cancer? Why it is oh-so important to get that second opinion, on both your diagnosis and treatment. @SylvesterCancer @UMiamiHealth @mitpress @nih_nhlbi @ASH_hematology wsj.com/articles/are-y…
- Introducing this year’s #ASH18 fashion statement...the ASH Scarf! @jmikhaelmd doesn’t need one since he’s now a Greek God — note his affiliation!
- “There is a difference between statistical significance and clinical significance. Get a large enough cohort together, and you will achieve the former. That by itself does not ensure the result achieves clinical significance.” Wise words by @aaronecarroll.
- Like or retweet this so I can show my 13-year-old daughter how popular I am! 😜 My latest essay, on our self-constructed, reassuring bubbles, in @ASHClinicalNews
