Paul Mischel is championing the importance of odd rings of DNA in tumors—and their promise as targets for cancer therapy @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

We need to do more to find effective treatments for leptomeningeal metastasis from solid tumors but this commentary from our team shows we are making some progress as a field! @dukemets.bsky.social @dukecancer.bsky.social rdcu.be/eySK8

Are you a top US-based scientist wanting to relocate to Australia? We are now calling for formal applications from both Australian and non-Australian citizens based in the US whose work is internationally recognised as exceptional. 📅 Applications close: Aug 29, 2025 🔗 science.org.au/gtap/?utm_so...

'Using a genome-wide in vivo CRISPR screen, we identified phosphodiesterase 5 & its substrate cGMP as key modulators of DC migration. Advanced tumours disrupted cGMP synthesis in DCs to decrease their motility, while PDE5 perturbation preserved the cGMP pool to restore DC migration' #TumorImmunology

A study has found a promising new way to attack high-grade gliomas (HGG), by targeting the cells surrounding a tumour. The brilliant findings, led by Pofessor Misty Jenkins, Zoe Day and Dr Ryan Cross are now published in Nature’s npj Precision Oncology. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It seems that only the science community is noticing that NIH and NSF budgets are cut 40% and 55% in the budget bill, respectively. If you live in Maine, West Va, Pennsylvania, Alabama, or Louisiana, CALL YOUR SENATOR as they could make a difference. See below. prospect.org/politics/202...

This would be a great time for everyone to be cool when reviewing manuscripts and *not* request $25,000 worth of new experiments that don’t substantially advance or validate the study...

Delighted to be back in Melbourne to speak at the BCC symposium, listen to exciting scientific presentations and to be with friends @wehi-research.bsky.social @saskiafreytag.bsky.social

1/3 PLEASE READ, LIKE, REPOST this "1/3" post There is a Senate Hearing May 14th with RFK Jr to discuss Trump's proposed HHS budget. Please find call/email the members of the committee every day until then (I have compiled contact info for the members in post 2/3)

Can an LLM system become conscious? This question has generated significant debate and too much hype. Here's a paper from @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social on what neuroscience has to say about that shine-lab.org/wp-content/u...

Dear new #science #STEM community- @abireland.bsky.social and I are thrilled to share our latest. The basal cell changes everything for #SCLC #plasticity! Despite prevailing dogma, we now believe the basal cell is the most plausible origin for SCLC because:

My first post on Bluesky to celebrate 2 full days of science on #glioblastoma (No stone left unturned) with great discussions with outstanding friends and scientists and many new ideas. Many thanks to the Mark and Sontag Foundations.
