We are hiring a scientific editor to join us in making Peer review & Publishing how it ought to be!

Interested in the evolution of how we share and curate our science? For those coming to CICON24, check out @beiyun_liu and this poster. For those not there, try this out, participate, enjoy helping science and your colleagues move forward: https://t.co/KOflhzoJw9

We’re going to have to improve the peer review system. Beiyun and colleagues are testing a new system

@SolvingForSci

Calling all cancer biologists and immunologists! Stay tuned for official project start announcements, in the meantime, sign up to be a prospective participant 💪🏼

Read the commentary on the Arthur & Sandra Irving #CancerImmunology Symposium, by Alvarez-Breckenridge et al. https://t.co/c6DqqCwLWz @immunegirl @Jeremy_Goc @GoodZinaida @KellyKersten8 @beiyun_liu @txi_ber @YMphoenix @JJMilnerLab @yuripritykin @fepulab @A_Wieland_PhD @mwilli323

‼️🚨Kick off your weekend with an intro to a new, journal-free system for publishing—developed by and for scientists—that we’re piloting with our friends in immunology. Feeling intrigued? fed-up? skeptical? rebellious? Come watch the pitch! 😎 https://t.co/n9th6bqIDz

#publishing is broken — so along with @SolvingForSci we're trying something new! Be part of a groundbreaking shift: a transparent, community-driven platform for storing and assessing discoveries. Join the pilot! https://t.co/AfXGUmpX9q

Really enjoyed this ⁦@Nature⁩ Book Review. “science is done best when it is approached from as many different angles as possible”. “it is not sufficient to hold up one woman from a period totally different from our own” #STEM #WomenInScience

This video also features poignant microscopy from Bera et al. Nature 2022, and Aceto et al. Cell 2014. Full video & references on YouTube. Please share/tag authors of the original studies. My videos are always a tribute to them 😊

Hope you’ll find this video useful as a primer for understanding recent advances in how we think about the metastatic process.

Last year, I saw Dr. Reinhart-King’s talk on how cell motility alone cannot predict metastatic potential. I thought her study was a wonderful demonstration of the complexities of cancer cell metastasis and the fluidity of cell states/phenotypes involved.

@MaxKrummel @SolvingForSci I’ve been playing with video formats for the past year and getting closer to what I thought should be possible: to link basic research to therapy thru featuring primary data, geared to non research audience. Your thoughts pls! 😊

If you are a researcher who contributed to this work, please say “hi” in the comments. I think it makes a huge difference to know that at the end of the day, we exist too within the larger community, that we want our work to be better understood too!

This video is far from comprehensive, but I hope it could be a starting point to bring the cellular/molecular level science to those who may be curious about how immune checkpoint inhibitors work but find it intimidating to understand.

There have been so much enlightening works in recent years that link cell death, macrophage biology, immune tolerance in the tumor microenvironment, and checkpoint blockade therapy. It’s been fascinating seething this big picture emerge.

Dear @SciComm community, if you find this video helpful in explaining efferocytosis and immune tolerance in the tumor microenvironment, please share!
