First day of winter - in Florida 😁

The Florida Flamingo sunsets

This is truly the “Spirit of the Moffitt Cancer Center” - we work together, we play together and we support each other and our patients - Happy Holidays

sad day… but happy for the life she lived and the love she experienced from her human family. Branca (white in Portuguese) was a stray cat adopted into our family nearly 8 years ago. Not sure how life was for her before but happy her life after was full of love, care and belly rubs - will miss her.

Just in case anyone is wondering about 67% of Americans actually pay for gymn memberships that go completely unused … ✈️ 🤸‍♂️

Visiting beautiful Wake Forest University today - great to be here during the Holiday season and in such great company

The US leadership better come back to the real world …. Fast

How you know a soccer association is on its last leg?

Immigrants need to pass a test to become citizens - 10 questions about US laws, governance, geography and history. Must answer the majority correctly. How about doing the same for congressional candidates? 10 questions about the constitution must get 8 right to be sworn in …

Esses imundos Bolsonaros deviam tirar a ciencia da boca - impressionantes como os maiores sabotadores da ciencia recorrem a ela quando serve para atenuar seus crimes … confusao mental eh na papuda!

This is the time of the year when the cold temperatures in Chicago invite for some indoor activities and what is better than opera? Missing the Lyric opera of Chicaho @lyricopera.bsky.social m.youtube.com/watch?v=2e76...

Very rare treat - landing from the east with a full fly over Tampa bay

📢ATTENTION BSKY COMMUNITY - We are expanding!! If you are interested in studying metabolic drivers of cancer progression and therapy resistance using bioengineered models consider joining our group at the Moffitt! Pl. repost, tks moffitt-cancer-center-careers.hctsportals.com/jobs/2115134...

Oh I get it now - if a Robot or AI takes someone’s job that is called progress but if an immigrant gets a job in the US, the MOB is called upon to burn our government to the ground !!! #itwasneveraboutjobs

With all due respect to history and historic records but it is highly unlikely for 99.9% of Americans to ever set foot in the white house - there are way more critical things being demolished such as education, science, democracy, our very government that would deserve a lot more attention …

This article is literally titled “Chinese Universities see US changes in policy as a gift from Trump” - I guess making China great is America’s top priority

Hello Everyone - if you are in Tampa and have no plans for tomorrow consider dining at Glory days - up to 20% of sales will go to support life saving research at the Moffitt Cancer Center - eat well, have fun and support a wonderful cause - what could be better

2 weeks to go - dont miss out this free event in Tampa - September 23rd at USF CAMLS

Dont miss this amazing event covering recent advances in Oncology Research and Drug Discovery - opportunities to interact with leaders in the field - win travel awards - present your work and participate in a career panel with Promega Scientists - REGISTER TODAY FOR FREE lnkd.in/d3YT3SBN

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.

The pursuit of knowledge needs to be independent and free of political influence otherwise it not knowledge it is propaganda - hopefully billionaires and philanthropists will meet the moment and ensure the pursuit of knowledge in the US remains somewhat independent of politics

“Emerging Technologies for Cancer Research” - a partnership between Promega and Moffitt’s Departments of Metabolism and Physiology and Drug Discovery - great speakers, travel awards and career panels for trainees - join us free in beautiful Tampa on 9/23 promega.foleon.com/pats-sandbox...

Super cute playing with her new toy (and I captured a great split second)

Somehow influencers and maleficent politicians convinced the public that expertise is something bestowed on the privileged and not something quite democratic anybody can acquire through effort and countless hours of studying. Expertise is not wealth that can be inherited or passed on it is earned!!!

Come visit and meet scientists right here in Tampa bay - if you are looking for a postdoc position in cancer research we want to hear from you …

Thought it was a painting? Nope just one of our Tampa sunsets 😍😍

Another cure powered by NIH - putting NIH first is putting America and Americans first

Could not agree more

📣interested in Epigenetics? the EPIGENETICS SOCIETY is having its second international meeting in Chicago! Wonderful speakers, opportunities to network in one of the world’s greatest cities - Come to Chicago in the fall and since you are at it consider becoming a ES member www.esconference25.com

The whole purpose of having a federally funded National Institutes of Health is that NO COMPANY WILL EVER MAKE INVESTMENTS TO IMPROVE HUMAN HEALTH THAT DO NOT IMMEDIATELY RETURN BILLIONS IN PROFIT… the comparison of NIH with a company is a prime example of how unqualified this person is to lead OMB

The U.S. holds the largest market share of prescription drugs in the world (53%). Over 95% of these drugs were developed with NIH support. Defnding the NIH at a time when China and others are heavily investing in discovery science will be bad for our economy and national security.

America is obliterating its scientific enterprise by underfunding the NIH and with it its national security, economy, jobs and nearly everything that makes America competitive, wealthy and safe - hard to imagine how annihilating cancer research makes anything (let alone our nation) great

For every dollar invested in the NIH, $2.58 are generated in returns on the that investment (not to mention the improvement of our nation’s health)- defunding the NIH sounds like a terrible idea

NIH Director say journals "bully scientists into paying large fees". No. Academia is a prestige economy in which scientific leadership chose to make journals the currency & Gold OA was deemed 'the way'. Publishers just cashed in; you don't have to pay $10K www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

While the intent to reduce animal testing is noble the effort needs to be well planned and not botched as so many impulsive decisions - metastasis, the great killer happens when cancer spreads throughout a living body - it cannot be studied on a dish - metastasis does not happen on a dish.

Este forasteiro, lesa-patria e traidor do Brasil eh governador do meu estado #vergonhaalheia

To be honest I was missing my Lake Michigan - but having sunny skies almost everyday is a delight hard to beat

“Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.” —Mahatma Gandhi

Not a sunrise over lake Michigan - but my new digs has some charm

Imagine having the unbelievable privilege of being home to top research institutions in the world - envy the envy of all nations both friends and foes and then sabotaging them - who would think of doing something so blatantly stupid?

Packed auditorium for the Annual Moffitt Scientific Symposium - “to prevent and cure cancer” - let’s do it!

It is with mixed emotions that I leave my position as Professor and Associate Director for CRTEC at the Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center of Northwestern University - serving along side with exceptional leaders and team members was a great honor and privilege - thank you @leonidasplatan1.bsky.social 🧵

The pope is from Chicag❤️

Welcome to Bluesky FASEB - the Federation of the American Societies for Experimental Biology is a prominent advocate for science and scientists in the US - follow them - stay up to date - let’s #supportscience @faseborg.bsky.social

Very interesting - America is making Europe and China great again

Yes - best description ever / and you got only one life
