Excited to share our new work in PDAC Cachexia. This work demonstrated that addition of factors like advanced age in murine models can uncover signatures that might have been obscured in other models. Grateful for @jdoles.bsky.social ‘s mentorship and support! Looking forward to all feedback :)

Karolinska is looking for 20 (!!) assistant professors and offering 6 year appointments with ~1M USD startup packages. ki.se/en/about-ki/...

Cachexia representation at the NCI TREC Workshop! A week of interdisciplinary discussions and fun amongst early career researchers. Highly recommend! The venue did not disappoint either! @cancercachexia.bsky.social @snoke-phd.bsky.social

Mixed feelings. My time in Doles lab is coming to an end soon. But a new phase awaits.

Excited to share our work on a new mentoring initiative in academia/medicine! Let us know what you think! @jdoles.bsky.social link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...

The worst day to get cells out of liquid nitrogen - the day it gets refilled AND you’re wearing cotton pants 💀 Never helps if you are as tall as the tank.

Super thankful to these scientists for their constant support! I hope everyone finds their own cheerleaders in life. @snoke-phd.bsky.social @brittcounts.bsky.social @parnesonwissink.bsky.social

Self reflection Sunday post #2 1. What’s my role in this? 2. What can I do about it?

This Thanksgiving, I am hugely grateful for scientists who were pioneers in our field - particularly those who did not receive the credit they deserved in their own time. Inspiring examples published today: doi.org/10.1111/acel... #agingresearch #geroscience #biologyofaging #GeroSky #WomenInSTEM
