I’ve been one of those fortunate trainees to call Danny my mentor! He has given so much to the MRS and to the metastasis field at large. Nice interview thread!
1/ Meet the presidents! Danny Welch is a Professor at the @UnivOfKansas Cancer Center who served as the president of @MetastasisRS from 2008-2010. We interviewed Dr. Welch about his research and involvement with the society.

Dr. David Baker received an American Cancer Society grant in the mid-1990s. We are ecstatic to have 3 former ACS grantees win the Nobel prize this year! This is a testament to the strength of our scientific review process to bring real innovation to research! Congratulations, Dr.
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

The importance of funding basic science research conducted by young investigators cannot be overstated. This is a unique strength of the @AmericanCancer funding portfolio
U.S. scientists Drs. Victor Ambros & Gary Ruvkun🌟 were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine today. @AmericanCancer is honored to have funded these researchers early in their careers! @ACS_Research💪 Read more➡️ https://t.co/oWANVTqClr

The American Cancer Society funded several grants to Dr. Ambros between 1980-1990 as well as a faculty research award grant to Dr. Ruvkun from 1991-1995. Much of this funded work was a precursor to Victor Ambros’ and Gary Ruvkun’s seminal discovery. We’re ecstatic to see them
BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Love this! Please consider donating to support @AmericanCancer #HopeLodge for cancer patients.
I am riding again in support of cancer patients. This ride will help support the @AmericanCancer #HopeLodge where cancer patients can stay for free while receiving therapy. Thursday we’ll begin 350 miles to Cincinnati! I’m grateful for your support: https://t.co/BjMveJvN6I
