Are 90% of cancer-related deaths due to metastasis? Apparently the overuse of this percentage in reviews has created confusion and questioning of whether this is true. The answer, which is as always cancer type dependent, may be in these references that also people claim they cannot find.

Our lab is hiring! This is for a postdoctoral position @ucl.ac.uk in Respiratory Medicine. Please check out the link for more details: www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Excited to share our review on Hallmark of Stem Cell Aging! With Tom Rando and Peggy Goodell @goodell-lab.bsky.social!! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Atul Butte died yesterday. The world lost a giant. A big bear of a man. With a huge smile. With love for everyone. With energy that could power a room. I loved everything about Atul. I loved how he was always happy. I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.

I heard this morning that my informatics colleague Dr. Atul Butte passed after a battle with cancer. He was a giant in the field & inspired many of us over his distinguished career. He was a passionate champion of the power of big data & his impact on our field is immeasurable. RIP Atul & thanks.
