You know what else is really interesting? We also saw pernio/chilblains #COVIDtoes after #COVIDvaccines , suggesting that a) the host immune response to the virus is being replicated by vaccine and b) #covidtoes may be from immune response to the virus #dermtwitter @USATODAY

You might think #mentorship means line-editing mentees papers (I do that too). But @ #AAD2022 , it means showing these future derm leaders how to tackle the exhibit hall 🤣 #dermtwitter ⁦ @Doriane_Sabu ⁩ ⁦ @LindaOyesiku ⁩ ⁦ @sonya_prasad ⁩ ⁦ @JanetLubov ⁩

Inspirational to be here at the #WorldSkinSummit in Peru with dermatology thought leaders from around the globe. A particular thank you to @ILDSDerm (pic here w/ President & friend Lars French) for supporting our work on #COVID19 & #monkeypox for the last 2.5 years! #dermtwitter

People often ask what it’s like being a mom of young kids who travels for #globalhealth . This time, my kids sent me w/ Polka Dot Unicorn (sadly lost a horn in Rwanda) and Pirate. They took photos to share w/ my kiddos & made lots of new friends. @MGHGlobalHealth @glodermalliance

Appreciative that @harvardmed chose to highlight the role of #skin (and those of us who study it!) and its role in our health as the Cover Story for this fall’s @Harvard Med Magazine. Shout out to @AdeAdamson @AskDermMD #DermTwitter #MedTwitter #dermismedicine @MonganInstitute

Mentorship - one of the greatest gifts I’ve been given, and one that I’m lucky I can now share with the next generation. @Doriane_Sabu you inspire me daily 🇧🇮. (& sometimes you even get to co-mentor w/ your friends - legendary Dean Ncoza Dlova 🇿🇦!) #dermtwitter @glodermalliance

I feel like it’s important to acknowledge new beginnings. Here, my first walk from my Dermatology office to @MGHGlobalHealth to direct Clinical Innovation & Education for the center. Excited to build this community across @MassGeneralMDs (and RNs!). #globalhealth @mgh_mpec

The second Freemanism from my Dad @DFisman shared was: "When journalists want to ask you questions, keep answering their questions until they get bored with you." Let's just say I'm learning a lot about interacting with the media. Mostly positive!

It’s #ERAS season. Here’s a few things I’ve learned mentoring #BIPOC students the last few years. 1) it’s astounding to me how many people will go out of their way to tell qualified minority students *not* to apply to competitive fields. Why? WHY?

We can now provide reassurance that it’s safe to get the second #modernavaccine even if you had a delayed large local #skin reaction to the first shot. Honored to be part of this collaboration led by @MGHAllergy @KimberlyBlumen1 and @mgh_id @ericashenoy #dermtwitter #IDtwitter

Delayed cutaneous reactions developed in 12 patients, days after initial injection-related symptoms resolved. The reactions, some as severe as grade 3, resolved in a few days with local therapy, and all 12 patients received the second #COVID19 vaccination. #IDTwitter

To quote my friend @IngridKatzMD , promotion matters because representation of #WomenInMedicine matters. Today, I joined the 14% of faculty @harvardmed who are Associate Professor, of whom only 35% are women.
