Happy Bday, exactly same day- #AbrahamLincoln and #Darwin ; still, one of these days, hoping for semi-biographical movie where they meet up at peak of their brilliance! #rEvolution

Impostor syndrome is not a disease. It's a normal response to internalizing impossibly high standards.

So how’s it going so far?

I wrote about the ongoing debates over genomic data sharing and the use of such data for "abhorrent science", including some perspective papers that came out last month. A few key points: 🧵

Cancer could double by 2070, with the largest rise in low-HDI countries. Prevention strategies targeting smoking, obesity, and HPV are urgent to avert millions of cases. #CancerPrevention #Oncology #GlobalHealth @oncoalert.bsky.social

What were the most inspiring 2024 discoveries in cancer?
Cancer Discovery asked me, Katherine Aird, Aadel Chaudhuri, Jennifer Guerriero, Shiri Gur-Cohen, Benjamin Izar, Brittany Jenkins, Delphine Merino, Alejo Rodriguez-Fraticelli & Shensi Shen, & here's what we said

- KRAS inhibitors
- tumor vaccines
- more effective chemotherapy
- surgery for oligometastatic dz

And much more!
