Story time, Twitter peeps. Buckle up. This one's special. #tweetstory
So... once a month we have Men's Night at our church where we do a dinner and devotional and just hang out. Free food and sports talk are foundational to any room called a "fellowship hall".
But my wife works Tuesday nights, and I'm on daddy duty. So my 3-year-old daughter just tags along, sits in the corner, colors, eats, etc. But tonight... tonight was Fried Taco Night. 🌮🌮🌮
My recent DNA #nucleobase etymology thread turned out to be surprisingly popular. So now let's do the amino acids -- #HematologyTweetstory 12. This pretty chart of the #aminoacids is from “BioNinja”: ib.bioninja.com.au/standard-level… 
Knowing word origins isn't essential to using terms well, but these histories can be interesting and illuminating. So, while you may not be a bodybuilder💪🏋️♂️🏋️♀️ who eats amino acids to bulk up, you can read #HematologyTweetstory 12 to build up your “body of knowledge". 😉
Let’s start with #Arginine, “the pirate’s favorite AA” (Arrrr!)🤪, first isolated by Ernst Schulze in Zürich (1886) from lupin seeds. His arginine crystals looked silvery; the Greek word árgyros (ἄργυρος)=silver. Argentina, rich in silver ore, gets its name from the same root./2
#HematologyTweetstory #6: the ‘pawn ball megakaryocyte’. We’ll revisit Dr. Frankenstein from Tweetstory #1, discover the origin of Santa Claus, and travel from Boston to Las Vegas – a flight the clever guys from the MIT Blackjack Team used to make every Friday. #hematopathology/1
‘Pawn ball’ megakaryocytes have 3 distinct nuclear lobes; this is abnormal. The first reference I’ve found that uses this term is a 1984 @BloodJournal paper by David Rosenthal & William C. Moloney (1907-1991). Dr Rosenthal @DanaFarber led @Harvard Health Services until 2011/2
Moloney, who became the champion of the 'pawn ball meg.' concept, came from @TuftsMedicalCtr & the old Boston City Hospital to become hematology chief at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (now @BrighamWomens) in 1966. He continued to work until he turned 90 in 1997. @BrighamHeme /3
Bon Twitter j’ai jamais fait de #TweetStory donc on va y aller parce qu’il est temps de parler d’un traumatisme là…
@Fabien_v31 Parce que j’ai une amie qui est enceinte et toutes les nanas lui disent que l’accouchement va se passer comme-ci comme-ça etc…
@Fabien_v31 Et nous les mecs vous croyez qu’on était partis pisser pendant ce temps ou comment ça se passe ?
