It was wonderful catching up with you, the Meadows family, and the rest of the team at CCLRI and @NeurosurgUCSF . Team science at its best! @UCSFimaging

… and that’s a wrap! Great #AARN2025 @theABTA annual meeting, congrats Will and @ZhaohuiWang5 on putting together an exceptional program! Great to see so many friends and colleagues, looking forward to continued collaborations! #BTSM

👇🏻👇🏻A great new way to advance our field together! 💪🏻

Funding childhood cancer research and care should be a no-brainer, yet we keep returning, sharing our stories, and pushing Congress to act. #ActionDays2025 A special thank you to my Congressman, @JimmyPanetta for supporting childhood cancer community. #FundingMatters

We should be proud, as Americans, of the #NIH and what it has accomplished with our tax dollars.

Strong article from Tom Maniatis, head of the NY Genome Center, on the history of the NIH and its role in maintaining U.S. scientific leadership. Safeguarding the future of biomedical science in the United States: Cell

US science is under attack ‘Americans who value the spirit of discovery — and eagerly await new ways to confront disease, strengthen our economy and improve the quality of human life — need to issue a strong outcry.’ – Harold Varmus

Things I wish more people knew about doing science in the US (thread):

Assistant or Associate Tenure-Track position in the Dept. Cancer Biology open: https://t.co/fnbIcgH9t5 Advantages: 1) Tenure at Loyola = 'real tenure'. 2) Positions are based on 'hard money' positions. 3) Startup packages are competitive. 4) Faculty environment is OUTSTANDING.

REVIEW | @KivancBirsoy, @abu_remaileh and colleagues (@RockefellerUniv, @Stanford) The authors provide a broad overview of the fundamental aspects of #choline #metabolism and cellular handling, and how it impacts #physiology and pathology 🐭👥🧫 https://t.co/Rgcs7ni5B4

#COMMENT 🚨 Zuber and Palm highlight how modelling tumour-specific metabolic conditions can enhance our understanding of cancer biology & improve therapeutic discovery. 📖 👇 https://t.co/DHHBTtAGs7

If you're finishing a Ph.D. and looking for a postdoctoral position in 2025 in Cancer Biology, apply to our in-person recruiting event at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute. Deadline is January 31st: https://t.co/Rm0ZIPxSmx

Happy to share @enarner preprint on mitochondrial metabolism and kidney cancer metastasis--This ongoing project started with @KimrynRathmell using patient data to show inhibition of oxphos promotes EMT and primary tumor escape. Great work Emily! https://t.co/TYz2vrwOIL

New preprint for the new year! We show that lactate drives NTP synthesis via lactylation of the nucleoside diphosphate kinase NME1 in pediatric gliomas. Deuterium metabolic imaging of lactate production interrogates tumor growth and therapy response. https://t.co/mDIQmTnyL1

In case you missed it: In this Review, @AlanaWelm & Co discuss the importance of #PDX models for functional precision oncology and how integrating these models with #AI can enhance their utility for personalizing cancer treatment. @huntsmancancer https://t.co/J5QIV5bTyH

Our December issue is LIVE! 🚨🎄❄️ It features Reviews on: - Cancer induced pre-conditioning of distant organs, - Strategies to investigate the biology of early cancer, - Precursor multiple myeloma - & a #Roadmap on mRNA splicing in the clinic https://t.co/znKEQD6VFe

Prostaglandins made by tumor cells reprograms immune cells, leading to an interesting clinical hypothesis.

🇮🇳 Gukesh D 🥹 Ladies and gentlemen, the 18th WORLD CHAMPION! #DingGukesh

Congratulations! It's a proud moment for chess, a proud moment for India, a proud moment for WACA, and for me, a very personal moment of pride. Ding played a very exciting match and showed the champion he is. @FIDE_chess @WacaChess
