13 years ago my mother passed from colon cancer. I feel very fortunate for the opportunity to contribute to this work in preclinical models of colorectal cancer. This is why I’m in #science . #ScienceMatters #ScienceTwitter.
@TheWistar’s Murphy lab developed a novel #HSP70 inhibitor that targets #mitochondria and induces immune cell recruitment in preclinical models of colorectal cancer. @CR_AACR #WistarScience

Practiced my talk on the way to dropping my daughter off at daycare. I think she nodded her head a few times in agreement, or maybe that was the result of the stroller on a bumpy sidewalk.

The mentoring I received from @WellenLab gave me the confidence to pursue a PhD. Had a blast during PREP #WomenInScience.
It's International #WomenInScience Day. I have been fortunate to be mentored by a great scientist @WellenLab and I enthusiastically advocate for #WomenInSTEM.

Naaa man, I’m in and out. There must be a rut with my tracks cause I follow the same path every time 😂 then again I also do all of the cooking and meal prep.
When We (MEN) go to the grocery store, we never have a plan. We just walk up and down each aisle and grab what grabs our attention.

1000 pt scorer in high school basketball 🏀 (held school record for a few years) ➡️ division 1 wide receiver at Lehigh University 🏈 (2 year starter and captain senior year) ➡️ PhD candidate @CAMBUpenn 🧬.
There’s a myth that scientists are awkward, uncoordinated and not athletic. I bet that’s not true & perhaps there’s even an enrichment for people who are good at sports (over achievers in general). If you’re a scientist, did you ever do any sport at a high level? Please elaborate.
