Digging around in the basement and found this old award from AACR broken. But I glued it back together. Because science may be down right now, but it’s not out. We will put the pieces back together.

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it.

Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on.

Making this my pinned post.

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

As a cancer patient community, we are lost for words. Science and research is what keeps us all going.

As Dr @choo.bsky.social said, “There are real people, real lives waiting on the science.”

One of my frustrations with our work to understand the causes of #cancer #cachexia as part of Cancer Grand Challenges Team #CANCAN is the limitation of animal models that don't reflect the realities of the patient population. This development helps. #LCSM #lungcancer

On this day 13 years ago, I was speaking at the Georgia Capitol about the importance of #cancer #research.

Despite what happened yesterday, we continue our work on behalf of those around the world at risk for, living with or impacted by #cancer.

9.5% MET and 7.9% EGFR detected in pts w lung SqCC with no smoking history.

Important to improve testing in this group. We are finding more of this with reflex testing in early stage disease.

We still have a long way to go to ensure that ALL patients benefit from recent scientific advances in #lungcancer. This study found that overall survival increased by 71% in patients with private insurance compared to only 24% in the uninsured in the US. #LCSM
