Great turnout for the @americancancersoc.bsky.social Making Strides Against Breast Cancer fundraiser! Proud to be part of Team @kucancercenter.bsky.social who already raised more than $11k for this event. Even caught a glimpse of @chiefs.bsky.social KC Wolf!!

Spent the last couple days back in Ithaca for the Intercampus Cancer Metabolism Symposium where it was a pleasure giving a keynote address related to our work exploring the intersection of obesity and genetics, and their role in driving breast cancer risk.

What a day!! The Garmin KC Marathon is the hilliest marathon I’ve run and possibly the most rewarding. Ecstatic with having placed 3rd in my age group and so grateful for the opportunity to push myself. @kucancercenter.bsky.social @thevfoundation.bsky.social

Looking forward to discussing advances in this area and having the opportunity to attend SABCS again! @kucancercenter.bsky.social

“Let’s get the politics out of public health”

Beautiful day for the Head for the Cure 5k to raise funds, awareness and hope for the Kansas brain cancer community. What a turnout! Looks like there may have been nearly 2,800 participants towards a goal of raising $700,000. @kucancercenter.bsky.social

We thank John Newell-Price, MD, PhD, for his term as President of the Society. Read @endocrinenews.bsky.social to learn more about the accomplishments he has achieved during his service: bit.ly/4ei7QQd #ENDO2025

#ENDO2025 was such a success! Congrats to the AMSC for putting on a great meeting. In difficult times, it’s great to see us rally together for the future. A big thanks to Secretary-Teasurer Dr Boord for his leadership, mentorship and friendship. Excited for this next chapter! See you at #ENDO2026

Dr Sailesh Palikhe doing a stellar job presenting his poster at #ENDO2025 today!

Always a pleasure catching up at #ENDO2025 @garydouglashammer.bsky.social

Honor to meet Dr Holst and talk about broader effects of GLP-1 and receptor agonists. #ENDO2025

Some of us (me) have not yet perfected the art of mini finger hearts! It was a true pleasure meeting everyone.

We did it! 5k #ENDO2025 Fun Run was a great way to wake up ahead of a busy schedule today. What a wonderful group! Loved meeting everyone.

Get Ready for the Second Day of ENDO | Our team is enthused from the spectacular first day of ENDO! We cannot wait to host you tomorrow. Join us for a wide range of networking events. View our program planner and mark your schedule: bit.ly/44Gwwxw #ENDO2025 #endocrinology #EndoSky

Day 1 of #ENDO2025 has started! Meeting friends and colleagues, impactful presidential address, two forward-thinking plenaries, and coming up this afternoon…the poster of Linlan Qiao! Please go say hi (SAT-671) at 12:15pm and hear about all the great work he’s been doing during his PhD so far.

New single-nucleus and spatial datasets offer unprecedented insights into the basis of #obesity associated adipose tissue dysfunction and its reversal by #weightloss and are a key resource for mechanistic and therapeutic exploration www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I will be there!! Traveling to SF today for #Endo2025 ✈️ The AMSC put together an amazing program! Can’t wait to see everyone and get some miles in on Sunday. Also excited to be taking the reins as Secretary-Treasurer at the end of the meeting. Dr Boord, you have big shoes to fill!

Can we please go one day without another attack on science (and everything else)? Whoever thinks that keeping people in a constant state of anxiety is productive, needs to think again.

President Trump's push to freeze federal funding to universities has targeted elite institutions, like Harvard and Columbia. But many other schools are concerned that it threatens the future of research and development programs. nyti.ms/42N36hH

Morale in academic research community right now is whatever is below rock bottom. The uncertainty and unpredictability are overwhelming. The mental and physical toll on U.S. based scientists is significant and will be long-lasting. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Cancer mortality rates have been dropping because of NIH and NCI funded research to Universities. Without it there would be no new cancer treatments that save lives.

First the Diabetes Prevention Program. Now the Women's Health Initiative. Really struggling to see how ending nutrition/lifestyle trials with long term follow up is a) part of the MAHA agenda; b) changing the 'woke' culture at Universities; c) improving 'efficiency'. www.whi.org/md/news/whi-...

We are pleased to announce Manuel Tena-Sempere, MD, PhD, as the next Editor-in-Chief of #Endocrinology, succeeding @zane-andrews.bsky.social, effective January 2026. Manuel Tena-Sempere is a professor of physiology at @uco.es. Learn more: bit.ly/42IMd6v @endosocjournals.bsky.social #EndoSky

this week 20 years ago, Nature published two seminal papers showing for the first time that BRCA-mutant cells were selectively sensitive to PARP inhibitors, paving the way for clinical trials and approval of PARP inhibitors for patients with BRCA-mutant ovarian and breast cancers, and beyond.

Timely article. Looking forward to speaking with Dr Garber this week when she visits KUMC @kucancercenter.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/w...

I stand in solidarity with all of my colleagues who do health equity research. This work matters for the communities we serve. This week has been catastrophic for grant cancelations and our communities are hurting terribly. Please share and stand with us in solidarity.
