Read on Twitter
A few months ago, at a time when #COVID19 was being increasingly linked to #thrombosis, I created a thread in an attempt to get @Twitter to verify hematologists on #hemetwitter. I'm going to try again with some more information as to why these accounts should be @verified https://twitter.com/NTConnell/status/1249164259126317056
Let's start with @connors_md: an Associate Professor @harvardmed and Medical Director for Hemostatic/Antithrombotic Stewardship @BrighamWomens in the @BrighamHeme division. Internationally known for her work on thrombosis/hemostasis. https://twitter.com/BloodJournal/status/1254854440076509185
Next up, @AMarshallMD: She's an Associate Professor @MayoClinic with clinical expertise in thrombosis & hemostasis and a focus on #MedEd and she's the #DiversityandInclusion editor for @TheLancetHaem and was the first to introduce me to #heforshe

Next, @ProfMakris: Known to the entire bleeding disorder community for his clinical expertise, advocacy, and education, he's also written about the effect of social media, including @Twitter in the hemophilia community. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/hae.13931
Next, @MaryCushmanMD: Professor at @uvmvermont and editor in chief of @RPTHjournal, she's done outstanding work on the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease and innovation in publishing science for global reach. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/rth2.12341
Next, @GBarnesMD: cardiologist and vascular medicine specialist @umichmedicine and an honorary hematologist given he knows so much about coagulation. Here's his publication on thromboembolism and anticoagulant therapy during the #COVID19 pandemic: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11239-020-02138-z
Next, @MiddeldorpS: Professor of Medicine @amsterdamumc and recently elected to the @ISTH Council, she's published on the incidence of #VTE in patients hospitalized with #COVID19 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jth.14888
Next, @DavidLillicrap: Professor @queensu, co-editor-in- chief of @JTHjournal, and an internationally known expert in the genetic basis of hemophilia and von Willebrand disease.

Next, @acweyand: A fantastic pediatric hematologist who was @verified by @TwitterSupport recently, but I want to give her a shout-out anyways, especially for her recent paper on heavy menstrual bleeding in women with inherited platelet disorders. https://www.jpagonline.org/article/S1083-3188(20)30256-4/pdf
Next, @bhwords: Professor @KingsCollegeLon and someone who loves tranexamic acid as much as I do! If you needed to know more about her science, you could find out on the WIKIPEDIA PAGE ABOUT HER! Also, the Queen (yes QEII), made her an OBE.

Next, @MPaiMD: Hematologist @McMasterU who, aside from being an expert in clinical practice guideline development, was one of the first people in thrombosis and hemostasis to be my friend and sit with me at conferences.

https://fhs.mcmaster.ca/medicine/hematology/faculty_member_menakapai.htm
Next, @james_paulad: Professor @QueensU who knows everything about von Willebrand disease, especially when it comes to the genetics and the use of bleeding assessment tools. Her program ( https://letstalkperiod.ca/about/ ) helps people realize it's normal to talk about menstrual bleeding.
Next, @VeronicaFlood18: Pediatric hematologist and associate professor @MedicalCollege of Wisconsin, who helped us find better ways to diagnose von Willebrand disease.

Next, there's @aakonc: He has a score named after him. Literally there's something in medicine called the Khorana score. How is he not @verified by @TwitterSupport already? https://www.mdcalc.com/khorana-risk-score-venous-thromboembolism-cancer-patients
Next, @sortoutbleeding: hematologist @IrishCtrVascBio @RCSI_Irl. She's made it her mission to make sure that women understand their menstrual periods and are empowered to recognize heavy bleeding and seek help for them. https://www.knowyourflow.ie/about/why-create-know-your-flow/
Next, @AggieLeeMD: Professor @UBC and hematologist whose research has defined treatments for #cancer associated thrombosis for decades. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa025313
Next, @DebSiegal: Hematologist @McMasterU who I first met when we were both in training. Her recent work has focused on anticoagulation, including use of andexanet alfa for the reversal of Factor Xa inhibitors. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1510991
Next, @Bloodman: Hematologist from @OHSUSOM @OHSUKnight whose "Thomas DeLoughery M.D.’s Famous Handouts" are famous because they're fantastic resources for #MedEd in hematology.

https://www.ohsu.edu/knight-cancer-institute/thomas-deloughery-mds-famous-handouts
Next, @kumar_riten: My pediatric colleague @harvardmed and Director of the Thrombosis and Anticoagulation Program @BostonChildrens. His collaborative work is helping fill knowledge gaps for treatment of pediatric thrombosis.
Next, @CroteauMD: Medical Director of the Boston Hemophilia Center @BrighamWomens @BostonChildrens and @harvardmed, she has improved our ability to provide prophylaxis in persons living with hemophilia. https://doi.org/10.1002/rth2.12305
Plus SO MANY MORE... I'll keep going another time, but this is a good start for @TwitterSupport @TwitterSupport @jack to think about for verification. Please review and give them the blue @verified checkmark that their professional international reputations in hematology deserve.
