Got in run by water in this morning @cwspeers

Participating in the @badgerchallenge to support cancer research today. Please consider donating to support https://t.co/gsLszhqAHl a match of the first $500 is in place. Completed my global participant from @RRS_RadRes annual meeting in PR

Felicitaciones a mi estudiante Loren por haber logrado pasar su examen preliminario y acercarse un paso mas a su doctorado. Estoy muy orgulloso de tenerla en mi laboratorio y apoyarla en su trayectoria. And thanks to my other student Cristina for translating

Heard today re randomized study- “we randomized 2-1 since we have a lot of standard patients to even out the arms”… this is NOT the way. 🤮

Second on the list #fixpriorauthorization Lots of fun w @DrMalikaSiker @mustafabasree

Great day on the hill advocating for our patients. Regardless of what is going on in the world it is great to see so many constituents have access to have their input heard. Most important to me - support for @NIH and @theNCI

I'm back here in DC for #ASTROAdvocacy Day! #radoncs from all over the US are here to tell Congress: 🤝 Support the #ROCR Act ⏰ It's time to #FixPriorAuth ⬆️ $$ for #cancer research @ASTRO_org @NIH @theNCI @ARPA_H

Mentor training in prep for hosting nearly 20 high school and undergrad students as part of ⁦@UWCarbone⁩ summer research programs #mentors #cancerresearch

We're grateful for the support of @NIDCR_NIH, @UWHealth, @UWCarbone, and University of Wisconsin Department of Human Oncology as we advance this promising regenerative medicine approach.

This therapy has been developed with the integral assistance of the @UWMadison Program for Advanced Cell Therapy. This recognition accelerates our work on a novel treatment for chronic, radiation-induced xerostomia, a debilitating condition for head and neck cancer survivors.

Thrilled to share that the FDA has granted Fast Track designation to our investigational cell therapy (MSC-001) at the @uwsmph https://t.co/9iJAp9XM4w #CellTherapy #RegenerativeMedicine #CancerSurvivors #Xerostomia #FDAFastTrack

Great time at @AACR . Love bringing trainees to their first big meeting so they can see the great and inspiring work being done to bring better treatments to patients who need them.

@BerubeLiliana and her undergrad mentee! So 🥹

So thankful for my students nominating me for the Awards for Mentoring Undergraduates In Research, Scholarly and Creative Activities and to the selection committee for the honor.

Wonderful and clear talk by another awesome student, Andrew, mentored by a great grad student, Loren!

Undergraduate researchers showing up at @UWMadison @UWCarbone

we also found that the lack of a "Department" category that was specific for Radiation Oncology is a major impediment to easily understanding funding in our field. This would be a easy step to help us track funding, but a significant number of instititions don't use the category

Through an exhaustive search, we found that <2% of NCI funding supported radiation oncology research despite the fact that over 50% of cancer patients receive radiation during their lifetime.

This has been a long-time coming. Want to acknowledge the great team i got to work with on this project where we looked at funding of radiation oncology research from the NIH. https://t.co/Y6s7O0UONH

So proud to have two students presenting their work today at the Hablemos de Ciencia event.
