Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom. This monumental news came two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation and effectively marked the end of slavery in the United States. #juneteenth

More Ignorance than Political Ideology….

Have you heard about the sunscreen ingredient that was recently approved by the FDA, and wondered what it means for you? Our chair, @ashi-w.bsky.social, spoke with @theaacr.bsky.social about how it works and what it means for sun protection

Sunday lunch. Tabouli salad, harissa carrots, pita, squid ink pasta w tomato sauce, ribs, grilled balsamic chicken.

I lived in Zambia and Lesotho in the 80s, and saw the beginnings of the devastation that AIDS wreaked in the countries. By the 90s they had wings of hospitals they called “waiting rooms”- rooms where people lay dying, waiting for the end. This article devastates me. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

CODA mapping reveals that 100% of fallopian tubes of healthy women contain precancers! The standard SEE-FIM protocol misses most of them due to undersampling. But our exhaustive assessment reveals that both pre- and postmenopausal women have them. Here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The CODA workflow works for: - any tissue type (eye, kidney, pancreas, brain,...) - any disease (cancer, fibrosis, diabetes,...) - any species (human, mouse, rhesus macaque, ...) It can be integrated with any spatial omic technique (CODEX, Visium, IF, IHC,..) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dinner for an old friend last night! Chicken Marbella, spicy carrots with leeks on a bed of maple ricotta, roasted eggplant with a paprika tomato sauce, and salad with a homemade vinaigrette! Not pictured: balsamic fig shrimp, spanakopita, couscous.

I wish to emphasize "Then, do this every day!"

Honored to serve our cancer research community with Bob, John, Ross, Sheila, Chris and all existing @theaacr.bsky.social board members!

Have not had the chance to cook for friends for a while- busy with work, travel and the general state of the world 😳 this weekend afforded me that luxury.

Baltimore, you have my heart ❤️ #notabluesky

Super appreciate the SPF30 one!! 👏🏾👏🏾

If you are there go check this out. Really cool work and great guy (but I’m biased) @deniswirtz.bsky.social

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Spending way too much time advocating for cancer research these days but this time it was fun to do it with a friend! @johnshopkinsbmb.bsky.social

How fortunate I get to be on Capitol Hill tomorrow when they arrive!!

Stress cooking again. Salmon with coconut cashew sauce, curried chicken pastries, garlic mango shrimp, coconut turmeric cabbage.

I have, to put it mildly, been so deeply disturbed by all of this- not only because of the perpetrators, but the sheer volume of people who just looked the other way and didn’t report. 💔

Things are dark and hard right now for many. I found this really wonderful website and I wanted to share. People write beautiful letters for others who need some TLC and to be reminded why the world needs them. Enjoy and please share widely. www.reasonstostay.co.uk

Mike was more than my colleague, he was my friend and confidant. He was beloved by so many from students to staff and faculty. We will miss him more than I can express. Rest in peace Mike, your memory will always be a blessing.

She’s incredible. But the rhetoric that has gotten us to this place in American politics is reprehensible to say the very, very least.

We are no longer in a time of complacency. Listed here are action items. I add, join advocacy calls when asked. Too many times organizations are hurting for scientists to join them on the Hill. timmermanreport.com/2026/01/scie...

Escapism.

Please share. 💔

I cannot believe this is America today.

This sushi would only have been better if @barackobama.bsky.social was actually here to share it with me!! #Mitch’s #Hawaii

This is something I cannot state enough: “since 1870, incarceration rates of immigrants are actually slightly lower than U.S.-born people and that gap widens in recent years with immigrants 60 percent less likely to be incarcerated than U.S.-born citizens.”

Largely good news today. Thanks to all who worked so hard on this, and to the organizations that got people out onto Capitol Hill to speak to senators and Congress reps.

Woke up to a flurry of warm and wonderful messages from people saying “I voted for you!” Honored to be running with some incredible folks for Board of Directors @theaacr.bsky.social 💕

This Sky is not blue, but it is beautiful 🤩

I am not built for this. For the anger and the grief and the outrage on a daily basis. I am built for laughter and love and friends and meaningful work. But maybe that is what will give me the strength I will need to survive and lead through this all.
