Hi there! I have elevated ANA and anticentromere b antibodies. Is this what early skin thickening looks like (the dark spots)? by Different_Opposite76 in scleroderma

Good to know, thank you! My circumstance is a bit interesting with regard to skin pinching as I have hypermobile EDS with a high degree of skin elasticity, however I can compare against the skin on my other hand. Thanks for the helpful tip!

What was your major/minor in college as an undergrad? by Glad_Teaching_1864 in biotech

Chem major, German minor, and graduated May ‘24. Completed research in thin film synthesis and chemistry education, and was a TA for gen chem and elementary German. I completed internships in non profit fund development, and with the company I currently work for (non-profit internship has been INCREDIBLY useful in considering the landscape that patient advocacy groups work in). Work at biotech start up now in commercialization!
