Obsessed with respiratory epithelium. Look at all those cilia. Waving around, pushing microbes and other foreign material away from the lungs. The best 🫁🫁🫁

long time, no see

Wow, I haven't been on tumblr in a very long time. Fourth year really ate up all of my energy and I have neglected a lot of things in my life that make me a little bit more sane.

I started my pathology residency about a month ago and it so far is going well! Since pathology is a reading-driven specialty, I find my brain wandering off. The last time this happened to me, I was struggling to study for the MCAT, which brought me back to tumblr.

So hi. My name is Liz. I am a PGY-1 resident in pathology. I love to mentor other students so please feel free to ask me anything! I post a lot on my medstagram account @lizzy.study but my longer posts are always reserved for tumblr.

Right now, I really need to read this surgpath book.

Time for another appreciation post for sarcomas because I came across a mother of one the other day:

1 - a relatively normal cancer cell with a prominent nucleolus (dark dot in the middle of the slightly lighter oval)

2 - a cancer cell showing an increased cell size and a large nucleolus

3 - a cancer cell who decided to become a beast with significant karyomegaly and a huge nucleolus

1 - a relatively normal cancer cell

2 - a super large beast with four nucleoli

1 - a normal sized cancer cell

2 - a cancer cell with two large nuclei of varying sizes (so a binucleated cell with karyomegaly)

3 - a cancer cell with karyomegaly and a large nucleolus

4 - me on an average monday

Squamous epithelium, intestinal epithelium, respiratory epithelium, fat, cartilage, bone... All in one tumor

It's everyone's favorite game of pathology bingo - TERATOMA!

You are right

When you get brand new slides from the lab and the fumes from the cover slip glue hits you right in the nose

Reviving the blog!

I know that no one is on Tumblr any more, but I've got random stories and gripes from my work that maybe I could share (v. Deidentified of course).

So I'm moving from a shitty studyblr to a shitty jobblr/scienceblr/haemblr/pathblr (is -blr still the right thing to use? It's been 5 years y'all)

So, yeah, hello again!

Nothing like a good case of ringworm to make you aware of literally every itchy part on your body

Multinucleated Giant Cell Appreciation Post

[vetisntdead]

Sample history: is this the same tumor as was excised 4 years ago or is this a new one? We don't have the lab report from the previous tumor and you don't either cus we didn't send it to you

Okay so how must I know
