Thank you @iwCLL2025 for the opportunity to present in Poland @wanglabcityofhope.bsky.social @ericalytical.bsky.social

Congratulations to my graduate student, Erica Niewold @ericalytical.bsky.social, for being selected by @ash.hematology.org to receive the ASH Graduate Hematology Award (AGHA)! #ASHAwards

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

And that’s a wrap for #ASH24. It has been a wonderful experience, meeting with old and new colleagues, presenting my first ASH oral presentation, receiving a distinguished award courtesy of @ash-hematology.bsky.social, and seeing and learning all of the exciting science.

Thank you #ASH2024 for the opportunity to share our research on Richters transformation @ash-hematology.bsky.social @wanglabcityofhope.bsky.social

Lili Wang lab from City of Hope, we are here at Bluesky!

Late night boba with the cohort! Love that we can still take time out of our busy schedules to get together 🧋☕️
