Thanks for participating in #ASHSlideSaturday ??! The bone marrow smear reveals a pleomorphic, multinucleated plasma cell in the center of the image, surrounded by other hematopoietic cells. The presence of a cytologically atypical, multinucleated plasma cell should raise suspicion for plasma cell myeloma, particularly if plasma cells are increased in number. Did you guess correctly?

"My roots started from my first mentors — my parents. They had emphasized the academic path because we were Hmong refugees from the Secret War in Laos during the Vietnam War era. We came to the U.S. after our refugee camp in Thailand closed. My father was the main influence, always emphasizing education because formal education is a life they never experienced. My mother provided support and strength for my family in many ways as she gracefully navigated building a new life for us in a new country." ? In the latest #HeartsofHeme, Moua Yang, PhD, of Bloodworks Northwest and University of Washington - School of Medicine writes about the power of mentorship. #Mentorship #Hematology #Hematologist #BloodScience #ScientificDiscovery #PhDJourney #HmongCommunity #Hmong #HmongAmerican #Hemostasis #Thrombosis #ASHTrainee

A new 20-year analysis demonstrates the ASH Minority Recruitment Initiative (now the Hematology Inclusion Pathway) retained and engaged hematologists underrepresented in the field. In a retrospective analysis published in Blood Advances, Belinda R. Avalos, MD, and Deirdra (Dee) Terrell, PhD, evaluated the Minority Recruitment Initiative's short- and long-term impact. They found participants had lower attrition rates, were more likely to pursue careers in hematology, and had high levels of engagement at ASH beyond their participation in the program. What's next? The researchers plan to further evaluate and bolster the program’s impact by implementing a standard annual assessment tool for all awardees, including a formal mixed methods assessment to better understand the awards’ impact on careers, and conducting more outreach through the ASH Ambassador Program in areas of the country that have not yet had an awardee.
