Y'all totally crushed it this year!!! Thanks so much for playing!!!!

We are so proud of our fellows for placing #2 in this years #RheumMadness tournament!! We lost to our great friends (Duke Rheum) which makes it hurt a little less. We also finished #1 in Rheumatology Fellowship Brackets and #2 of brackets overall so we can’t wait to celebrate that as well! 🎉 (1/3)

Welcome to bluesky! I'm finding this place to be a less distracting and more engaging space (so far). We will see!

Thanks as always for playing. Who knows, maybe CAR-T will try again in a few years once some trials come out...

My first post! Good news/bad news- #RheumMadness 2025 is here! Aaaaaand my bracket is busted on day 1! Blue Ribbon Panel did not *ahem* appreciate the promise of CAR-T cures like I do. Cheers to great scouting report writers, RM leadership, and the 3 outstanding BRP voters who saw it my way 🤣

United to bring the Chicago 🏀 legacy to RheumMadness - great to be part of this team!

So crazy!!!

Round 1 Results are in!!
And I’m currently rank no.1🥳

Off to a good start✨
