Thanks #OncoDaily for the shout out! As noted, no one does this alone. I was incredibly fortunate to have the very best colleagues/friends, students, fellows, supportive philanthropists, & amazing staff at #EACRI & #SITC to work with & together we strove to #FinishCancer.

US RSV immunizations cut infant hospitalizations ~30–40% last season. Yet ACIP member Dr. Malone and Dr. Shir-Raz published a piece claiming CDC "manipulated data analyses" and hid deaths to get these therapies approved. Their claims fall apart under scrutiny. 🧵

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH.

Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH.

HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH.

99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH.

Interested in how to infer tumour microenvironment ecosystems from scRNA-seq atlases?

I'll be at #AACR25 presenting in the ED06 session this Friday 3-4.30pm.

Otherwise would love to meet to chat science for anyone on here attending

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Bluesky says it is now sending referral traffic through its "go" subdomain to make it easier for publishers to track the traffic coming from the social network (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch)
