Just want to mention that on a #airNZ domestic flight the captain had our bags taken off the plane for wt reasons. He didnt tell us so we waited by the carousel and of course they didnt come out. No compensation/apology, no clothes for >1 day. This is spineless; avoid #airNZ

Delighted & surprised to see my #medicalmemoir #LifeBlood making the top 20 #bestsellers on hive.co.uk, a big supporter of #independentbookshops. It tells the story of my #leukaemia patients and my career. My wife thinks it's a mistake, but this time she may be wrong

The #Chinese data is of interest but is IMO too preliminary to warrant a #nejm publication. R/R #T - ALL is a hard nut to crack, CARs will be the answer but this doesn't really convincingly move us forward
Combining CAR-T cells and allo-transplant: what a fascinating approach! ⁦@NEJM⁩ ⁦@TheIACH⁩ ⁦@TheEBMT⁩ ⁦@Florent_Malard⁩ ⁦@RemyDulery

Farewell to a thoroughly enjoyable #EBMT2024 in #Glasgow. Met lots of friends and colleagues & enjoyed chairing the high quality #ALL session. Having actual physical posters was an improvement from last year. However IMO 9 min for an abstract was too short, no time for questions

Thanks Melodie for asking me to sign your well thumbed copy of #lifeblood. The book does have a #patientfocus and may be useful for patients with #leukaemia but it is also about me and I hope it #inspires #youngdoctors
Best education comes from those dedicated to the patient! Thanks @davidmarks1958 for signing my copy of your amazing book. If you haven’t ordered…you should!! It’s a fantastically inspiring story #lifeblood #ALL
