My recent postdoctoral work is out today in @nature.com! We found that physical confinement makes melanoma cells more invasive and drug tolerant. Thanks to all who made this work possible @whitefishlab.bsky.social @mskcancercenter.bsky.social #NIH #NCI www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Jim Till was not only an amazingly gracious and generous scientist, he was a true advocate for young researchers, women in science and accessibility of data. A 🇨🇦 giant.

Research at UHN @uhnresearch.ca · May 22

UHN marks the passing of Dr. James Till, whose work with Dr. Ernest McCulloch first demonstrated the existence of blood-forming stem cells in 1961 at Ontario Cancer Institute, now Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

His work has helped launch the field of #stemcell science.

Excited to share our first lab paper, now published in Developmental Cell @cellpress.bsky.social !

🧠 How do glioblastoma (GBM) cells invade the brain, and what enables them to spread so effectively?

An opportunity for say, a northern neighbor, to quadruple the CIHR/CFI budget and enable that future?

Oh, and we are also nice. Unless you threaten us. Then we’re not. It’s a good train to join.

With all the carnage being indiscriminately wrought on scientists in the US, remember, a war on science is a lost war. Science doesn’t care what you or anybody else thinks. You either embrace science or you chase imaginary demons. It took us centuries to realize this.

Wait, does the worm in his head also get the appointment, as an undersecretary, or at least as special advisor? That symbiotic worm has had more influence on what is to come than most. Shambles…

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me.

Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.
