It’s Postdoc Appreciation Week! Our amazing postdocs recently presented their groundbreaking cancer research at the Postdoc Research Showcase. We challenged them to explain their work in 10 words or less—harder than it sounds! We're so grateful for their dedication!

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer and high levels of estrogen promote its development. Researchers at HCI, led by @xedbee and @GertzLab, have identified potential new treatment options for people with endometrial cancer. https://t.co/IvkwCF6e8w

The hardest part about being an immigrant is not the immigration system but having to choose between pursuing a world class career and seeing your parents grow old

When a man speaks assertively, people trust him: he's confident. When a woman does it, men dislike her: she's a bitch. It’s outrageous that women have to tame their tongues to protect fragile egos. Don't punish women for challenging stereotypes. Challenge the stereotypes.

Our work characterizing ER hotspot mutations in endometrial cancer is out in MCR 🥳 The study highlighted allele-specific differences between ER-Y537S and ER-D538G mutations and identified potential therapeutic targets in this disease.
.@xedbee et al. show the ER-Y537S mutation mediates unique gene expression changes in #endometrialcancer, and identify CDK9 and NCOA3 as potential therapeutic targets. https://t.co/zSAjP0wnjr

We don't talk enough about how international students spend a significant amount of time dealing with administrative procedures, visa/work permits, job search, and generally on avoiding being an illegal immigrant literally the next day of their defense 1/ #AcademicTwitter
