I shared the ASCO stage with Dr Dawn Hershman when we were both awarded a career development award as we were starting our careers. Amazing to share the stage with her again as we are awarded once more at #ASCO25. Truly honored and excited to do so.

… and Molly is not alone. More than $2.6B of ongoing research has been canceled (with much more this week, at Harvard).
With each cancellation: We are losing so much knowledge. Losing the next generation of scientists. Losing our ability to protect our health, both now & for the future. 🧪🩺😷

All 4 of my NIH research grants are terminated. These were grants on MDR-TB treatment & strategies for supporting adolescents living w/ HIV. This is a massive waste of resources. I am heartbroken for my Harvard team, my partners in Peru, the next generation of scientists & our country. Shame.

The community engagement session led by @drdonsdizon.bsky.social at #SCHD25 demonstrated impactful outcomes. The work of Dr. Memnun Seven with cancer survivors, Dr. Andrew Sussman's CAB strategies, and Dr. Vida Henderson's media approaches show that authentic partnerships improve results.

I'm not practicing much but I am who I am because of my very Catholic parents who taught me right from wrong and to care for everybody. I admired Pope Francis. He will be missed in this very turbulent world.
The Catholic world is in mourning after the passing of Pope Francis, sparking questions about who will take on the role as the head of the Vatican.
Who will be the next Head of the Catholic Church after Pope Francis' death?

Change is always a good thing. Well, maybe not always.
But when opportunities arise, they deserve to be explored.
Comfortable isn't synonymous with satisfied.

There are adverse effects from tylenol too. Nothing in medicine is 100% without adverse effects. Its about the risks and benefits, applied to populations. This cannot be taken seriously without context.
RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."

Regarding gutting if DEI-Comprehensive research into the biology of humans as a whole requires including investigation into the biology of women. This isn’t a “woke issue” or a DEI issue, this is a scientific issue.We can’t go back to one size fits all again. That failed us before.🧪 #academicsky
FWIW... The law requires NIH to ensure diversity in its funded research, emphasizing inclusion of women... not females. Women. The law is on the side of diversity, equity, and Inclusion.

It seems the lessons from that epidemic are informative today.
