I am genuinely excited to be helping students ask innovative questions which challenge perspectives in our field.

Recently read a paper that looked at effects of diff ICI's on CD8+ T cells in the TME. IIRC: one ICI helped prevent exhaustion in newly recruited cells & one rescued CD8's that were already present. Think authors also looked at Lag-3 or TIM-3. Sound familiar? Pls drop a link!

Hi
#mathonco
! I'm submitting a grant this year! Super exciting! Super scary. Does anyone have a
#mathonco
or computational bio K99/R00, K22 (or similar) that they'd be willing to share with me? Specifically looking for input / examples of scope and the mentoring plan. Thank you!!

I spent the last week at BIRS discussing mechanistic learning (ML + mechanistic modeling) in
#mathonco
. Being surrounded by friends & colleagues who love chatting science reminded me that science is a community, and mine is pretty cool.

As a brand new postdoc, I'm getting more invites to review for journals. The last one took me a whole day! Does anyone have any tips / advice on how to be more efficient or a system to follow? Thanks!!

PSA for anxious grad students: unless the evaluation rubric explicitly calls out 'has won prizes' (and I haven't worked with one that does) I am skipping the prizes section of CVs. So if you don't have any, *don't stress and don't undersell yourself*.

Hi all! I'm slowly migrating from the Other Place to here. Any tips / tricks / features I need to know about? One thing I haven't found is a way to bookmark posts. Am I missing something? Thank you!!

Is anyone in
#mathonco
interested in starting a monthly journal club? I'm mostly focused on the impact of therapy on tumor-immune interactions but I'd be happy to discuss almost anything!

#HiSciSky! I'm in the 5th year of my PhD looking at the immunological consequences of radiotherapy using mathematical oncology 👩💻☢️ Starting to look for #postdocs in #mathonco if you know anyone who's hiring!
