This is the rejection letter for the work that just won the Nobel Prize. Don’t stop believing! .I should save all of mine and maybe one day some stranger will think it’s an amazing relic and tweet it.

I looked up an old paper of mine using my name and AI overview told me this: "The "PF" likely refers to post-feminist, a term related to her research on the societal and cultural context of HPV and cervical cancer". PF are my initials. AI not so smart 🤣.

It's 102°F/39°C in New Haven—but 30 international experts have braved the heatwave to join us at @YaleMed for a 3-day workshop on chromosomal instability in cancer. Thank you to our workshop organizers, @roelverhaak, @markowetzlab, & Aurelie Ernst!

The great Bert van der Kogel just gave me his latest textbook! We are so lucky to have him visit monthly as an emeritus professor. My whole office fills up with students for intense radbio discussions! 🤓🧬☢️ #radbio

To all of you radiation scientists planning to apply for the NIH PAIRS funding mechanism (PAR-22-198) for June 5, I just learned that it was cancelled (though the website states it is active). Bad news, but I guess now I can go drink margaritas 🍹.

I saw 2 patients today who have recurrent and metastatic breast cancer because they lost insurance 5 years ago and couldn’t get the follow up they needed. It’s shameful and we need to do better. But it’s 2025 and I don’t see that happening.

It was -12 degrees yesterday (that’s fake fur!), the NIH is non-operational, so I guess I’ll be hibernating till 2029. ✌🏻
