Isabel Bautista has been living with Relapsing Polychondritis since 2013. What quote helps her live as an everyday patient hero? "You are a warrior. Not because you won, but because you keep fighting every single day." Thanks for being a great vasculitis role model, Isabel!
New work from our group and our Japanese colleagues on VEXAS summed up nicely here. https://t.co/fWohiuZkaN
VEXAS podcast on Rheuminations. Dan Kastner in the last 10 mins of the podcast summing up a career in science was a real treat. And yes, I am a Pickleball enthusiast. It’s the fastest growing sport in America. https://t.co/Hk7G20EkiN
We’re extremely excited about our partnership with @FerrariRaces and the #FerrariChallenge North America and the opportunity to drive awareness and accelerate research of relapsing polychondritis (RP) in this outstanding series.
