Summary
Pathologists are using social media (SoMe) for professional growth. This review introduces Bluesky and PathSky as emerging platforms for pathology collaboration and education, offering an alternative to traditional SoMe.
Area of Science:
- Digital pathology and medical informatics.
- Pathology education and professional development.
- Online communities and scientific networking.
Background:
- Social media (SoMe) is increasingly vital for pathology professionals, supporting education, research, and networking.
- The dynamic nature of SoMe presents both opportunities and challenges for pathologists.
- Traditional platforms like Twitter/X are widely used, but newer alternatives are emerging.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the role of social media in pathology.
- To introduce the decentralized platform Bluesky and its pathology community, PathSky.
- To compare Bluesky/PathSky with other SoMe platforms and provide guidance for adoption.
Main Methods:
- Narrative review of social media in pathology.
- Introduction and description of the Bluesky platform and PathSky community.
- Comparative analysis of social media platforms for pathologists.
Main Results:
- Bluesky has gained traction among pathologists as an alternative to established platforms.
- PathSky offers a dedicated community for pathology discourse on Bluesky.
- The review provides practical advice for pathologists interested in joining Bluesky and PathSky.
Conclusions:
- Innovative platforms like Bluesky can enhance pathologist collaboration and education.
- Adopting new SoMe tools can foster professional growth in the digital age.
- Pathologists can leverage PathSky to expand their professional network and knowledge sharing.

01:27C4 Pathway and CAM
Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.

This lesson explores key terms that describe how diseases progress, their outcomes, and their distribution in populations.Diagnostic tests identify diseases and monitor treatment. These include blood and urine tests, biopsies, imaging (X-ray, MRI), and detection of infectious agents.Remission is a reduction or disappearance of symptoms.Exacerbation refers to the worsening of symptoms, such as increased wheezing during an asthma attack.A precipitating factor triggers an acute episode, while a...
